Our Moodle Umm al-Qura Calendar:
As we see in the introduction Many Islamic communities in non-Islamic countries also tend to follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, So we decided to implement this calendar in Moodle System .
So any western date must be converted to the Islamic date(Umm al-Qura date).
This includes :
1- Years. (2008 to 1430 etc ,…….).
2- Month names.( November to Thul-Qedah)
3- Days.
For example the date 2008-november-08 in western date meets 1429-Dhu al-Qi'dah-10 in Um al-Qura date.
So any occurrence to any western date must be converted to its Islamic date equivalent, like in Quiz dates, Event date , Lesson Date , …..etc.
After adding this Islamic calendar system to moodle the Saudian Student or any student in any country using Umm AlQurra calendar will use moodle System without any difficulties regarding to the date conversion from western calendar used in normal moodle and a moodle using Islamic calendar (Umm Al-Quraa) .
