Thanks!

I updated myself a bit about the synodic cycle, and for precise prediction of 
phases, the calculations seem to get a little out of hand. :/
For now I settle for an extrapolation from a known date using a synodic 
average, and hope for the best.

There is an islamic chronology
http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/apidocs/org/joda/time/chrono/IslamicChronology.html

However it uses an algorithm, not lunar phases. Thus you need to start from 
first principles, such as with the Calendrical Calculations book.
