The author has neglected to mention the appropriate month for many events; except for the prominent ones.

The length of the solar year adopted is approximately 365.242 days.

The length of the lunar year adopted is approximately 354.604 days; the reason for this is its correspondence to what the Noble Quran indicated in Surah Al-Kahf; His saying, the Almighty: "And they stayed in their cave for three hundred years and added nine." (25) This indicates that 300 solar years are equivalent to 309 lunar years. (Refer to Tafsir al-Nukat wal-Uyun by al-Mawardi, 450 AH); this means that the length of the lunar year is equal to (300 x 365.242) / 309 = 354.604.

The length of the solar and lunar calendar year adopted in the Holy Books of the Jews and Christians is 360 days.

The author mentioned in the table that the year of the beginning of the construction of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Solomon, peace be upon him, was four years after the beginning of his reign, i.e., the year 957.68 BC; this means that the period separating the time of the Exodus of the Children of Israel from the land of Egypt and the beginning of the construction of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Solomon, peace be upon him, is 473.11 solar years; and this is equivalent to 480 solar-lunar years; this fully corresponds to what is stated in the Book of Kings, the Sixth Chapter, the First Verse of the Holy Books of the Jews and Christians; and this is its text: "And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year, after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that Solomon began to build the house of the Lord." (6:1).

The author mentioned in the table that the descent of the three heavenly books, the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran, was on the night of the twenty-seventh (27) of Ramadan; and so it will be, God Almighty willing.
