Hijri calendar is done via two different ways, either you make it based on
virtual (wrong) calculations or via observation of the moon each month. For
example in Morocco and Oman the decision if a month completed its 30 days or
just 29 is done by manual observation by local authorities via naked eyes in
all cities of the country. Others countries simply follows Saudi Arabia
especially in Gulf region.

For now, the only calendar provider that follows in real times dates in each
country and gives the correct Hijri date for all countries around the world is
Google Calendar.
