As to this source:
http://www.islamicfinder.org/hijri_intro.php
this calender is not exact:
"Since the Islamic calendar is purely lunar, as apposed to solar or luni-solar,
the Muslim (Hijri) year is shorter than the Gregorian year by about 11 days .."
thus you'll have to run your own conversion routine, or convert it to the Gregorian calender where you can use the Month() function - but these months are different from yours ...

Hello,
If the date is stored as text in your database, you want to extract a portion of that string using the backslash delimiter. The following function can help:
Function HijriDatePart(pvarDate, pintPart As Integer)
On Error Resume Next
HijriDatePart = Null
HijriDatePart = CInt(Val(Split(pvarDate, "\")(pintPart)))
End Function
Place it in a module and you can then use it in a query, noting that the day is part 0, the month part 1 and the year part 2.
HijriMonth: HijriDatePart( strTheDateField, 1 )
You can also do it all in a query expression, but it gets a little messy:
HijriMonth: Val(Mid(Left([strField],In
Hope this helps
