It's marked by a crescent moon.
The Muslim calendar is lunar-based, comprising of 12 months and a year of 354 days. Each month can be either 29 or 30 days long. Because the lunar year is shorter than the solar year, Muslim holy days cycle backwards through the Western calendar. The Islamic lunar calendar differs from the moon’s actual cycle by one day every 2,570 years, which means that it is only a little bit less accurate than the solar calendar.
