Abstract: International

made so that the Islamic calendar could apply uniformly on an international
scale. The need for this is understandable because it can be a symbol of unity
of the people and to bridge the differences in execution time of worship, as

times. Until now the International Islamic Calendarpooling efforts have not
come to fruition. The problem is that the Islamic organizations tend to keep
using the method and criteria for each and have not agreed to the criteria that
serve as a commonreference. The problem of determining the initial months of
the Islamic Calendar generated a lot of difference in their establishment. The
difference in the initial determination of an impact on the outbreak of a sense
of community and disruptfervently Muslims in worship, as different in
determining when Ramadan, Shawwal, and Dhul-Hijjah which affects the other months.
Worse, these differences also impact on other areas such as the political,
economic and sociological. Departing from the above problems, Mohammad Ilyas a
Muslim astronomer from Malaysia has been donating his scientific career to

Ilyas can be said can not solve the problem, this needs to be a review of the system
associated with the prevailing international calendar by using various
multi-disciplinary approach and to not ignore universal continuous dialogue.
