Hi @ahmedmansoor

• It does not work for the year 2000. Because there are two Ramadan holidays
• Package "geniusts/hijri-dates" gives wrong result for 1 Sewwal in 2025 and some years.

@thecaliskan I've tested for 2000 in the latest version, you may check. Also, if we need adjustments for the second half of 2025's hijri calendar, it will be announced after 6 months this year or at the end of this year. Current results for 2025 align with the dates published at this time.

A few other PRs (https://github.com/spatie/holidays/pull/56) are working on Islamic holidays too. It might be useful to work together on this one. I would prefer a single implementation for those calculations which all countries with Islamic holidays could reuse.

@Nielsvanpach OK I'll check on that. It's doable, hopefully, though Islamic holiday dates may vary by a day or two among countries due to regional differences in moon sightings.

Hi @Nielsvanpach. I've created a new PR #186, as I messed up this one during git rebasing. Sorry about that. I've also created a Hijri Calendar trait so others can use geniusts/hijri-dates to calculate Hijri dates.
