Notes:

  • Israk Mikraj
  • Lunar New Year
  • First Day Of Ramadhan
  • Nuzul Al-Quran
  • Hari Raya Aidil Adha
  • Al-Hijra
  • Prophet Muhammad's Birthday
• The dates of the following holidays are based on a combination of the lunar calendar and a manual moon-sighting by a government officer, so may (and often do) differ from other countries with the same holidays:
  • Hari Raya Aidil Fitri
  • Hari Raya Aidil Fitri Holiday
  • Hari Raya Aidil Fitri Holiday

Hey @CodeTectonics,

thanks for your effort. What we need to add countries to Jollyday, are the "rules" that are behind every public holiday as you can see for morocco here https://github.com/focus-shift/jollyday/pull/570/files#diff-242cb023a5d40ee71889c9954e9f8a8e3fa6462407febf04bdf609231c9dc0d3

There are different types of holidays and we need the "rule" how they will be calculated. Are you familiar with the rules behind the public holidays of Brunei?

Hello, I Could volunteer to do Maldives.

Not very clear on the process though, but for Maldives this is a good starting point

Hey @fauzaanu,
thanks you that you want to volunteer. A good starting point may be the pull request for the Morocco public holidays see here https://github.com/focus-shift/jollyday/pull/570/files#diff-242cb023a5d40ee71889c9954e9f8a8e3fa6462407febf04bdf609231c9dc0d3

We need to define the rules behind the holidays.
