About the Author
Sheikh Muhammad Aminu Yakub Bamba Al-Faradhi was born in Accra, the capital of the Republic of Ghana then Gold Coast in the middle of the year 1950. He started learning the Alphabet of Arabic and the Holy Quran in a Makaranta (School) at New Town in the Capital. His father Alhaji Yakubu Bamba sent him to his niece Hajia Habibah and her husband (who is his father’s cousin) Alhaji Ahmad Musah in Ejura-Ashanti to continue learning the Holy Qur’an when he was ten years old, that was in 1960.
In 1963, he was sent to Tamale in the Northern Region of Ghana, to one Mallam called Alhaji Yakubu Ishaq to continue his learning of the Holy Quran.
In January 1966, he was brought back to Ejura at the request of his elder cousin Hajia Habibah, and then sent to L.A. No. 1 Primary school by her, to fulfill the advice of his departed father. He left the school after only two terms, because of a confusion between him and a teacher who wanted to cheat him. So he was absent from class room up to the end of the following term, when he was moved to T.I. Ahmadiyah Primary School in Ejura – Ashanti.
In 1969, he was pulled out from the school because of his intelligence, with the reason that he would become a Christian if he continued, because all the teachers at that time were Christians. And that was the end of classroom for the then young and intelligent man.
In 1972, he decided to go back to Tamale on his own to continue his Arabic and Islamic education, and teaching children Arabic Alphabets and recitation of the Holy Qur’an.
In 1976, he decided to go to Kano in the Northern Nigeria to continue his education, where he learnt various courses: Islamic law, Arabic language, Arabic grammar, Etymology, Commentary of the Holy Quran, and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) Traditions. He specialized in Islamic law of inheritance. He came back to Ghana in 1983 and established a school in Ejura called: Ihya-ud-dini Islamic School, popularly known as Mallam Aminu’s Islamic School in 1984.
The school was adopted by the Government in 1998, and is doing well in the West African Examinations.
His duties are: Teaching, Preaching and Writing Several Islamic and Knowledgeable books. He has over fifty (50) books to his credit currently, ranging from prose to poetry, or poetical composition.
One of his most important books is this book the “Guidance to the Christian Calendar”.

About the Gregorian Calendar:
Prior to 1582, every divisible by 4 was a leap year. Since a year contains only 365.242199 days (slightly less than 365.25 days), an error of ten days accumulated over the centuries. To compensate for this error, Pope Gregory XIII (after whom the Gregorian calendar is named) decreed that the ten between October 5, 1582 and October 14, 1582 would be eliminated from the calendar. Italy, Spain and Portugal adopted the Gregorian calendar in October, 1582 as decreed; however, other countries did not adopt this calendar until later. This made October 1582 the shortest month, with only 21 days.
The Julian calendar last day, Thursday, 4th October 1582, was followed by the first day of Gregorian calendar, Friday, 15th October 1582.
The Julian calendar last day of the year 1582, Monday 31st December, was Gregorian 10th day of January 1583, therefore, the year 1583 was started on Saturday, 1st January 1583 Gregorian Calendar.
After 1582, years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are divisible by 400. Thus, 1900 is not a leap, but 2000 is.
The Gregorian Calendar is a vast improvement over the Julian Calendar which was used previously but still not perfect. Note that the Gregorian Calendar made a correction of ten days in 1582. However, there were 12 leap years (100, 200, 300, 500, 600, 700, 900, 1000, 1100, 1300, 1400 and 1500) between 1 and 1582 that would not have been leap years had the Gregorian Calendar been in effect. This is a difference of 2 days (between the 12 leap years and the 10 day correction) over a period 1582 years.
Therefore, Sunday, 1st January 2023 Gregorian Calender, is 3rd January 2023 "Aminian Calendar", and Friday 1st January 2100 Gregorian Calendar, is 3rd January 2100 "Aminian Calendar", while Wednesday, 31st December 2149 Gregorian Calendar is 2nd January 2150 "Aminian Calendar", the perfect calendar (difference of 2 days).
Can the whole world accept this improvement and correct the 2 days error by Pope Gregory or not? It is very difficult for the world to correct this error, as it has already adopted the Gregorian Calendar for nearly five (5) centuries ago and all my research was done on it. Whatever it may be, the "Aminian Calendar" is only 2 days ahead of the Gregorian Calendar. Nothing else !
May the Almighty Allah bless us all. Ameen.
