Greetings fellas.. it has been few weeks since my last entry. Well been busy with work and few arrangements. Just finished my 1 week course which was very tiring but somehow i did my best in the course. So to end up the month of February, i was called to make an entry bout Leap Day! (hope u guys know what's Leap Day means ;)
Leap Day is 29th February, which is an extra day added during the leap year. It's like intercalary day which making the year consist 366 days long, not 365 as usual. Through the Gregorian Calendar, nearly every 4 years is a leap day.
Tradition & Folklore
Leap Day as a concept has existed for more 2000 years and still associated with age-old traditions, folklore and even superstitions. one of the mosssssst popular tradition was if that one particular woman proposed to their boyfriend in marrying them (western beliefs ok not muslims!)
How it happened??
Leap Years are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the earth's revolution around the sun. if we didnt add a day on 29th nearly every 4 years, we would lose almost 6 hours every year. after only 100 years, our calendar would be off by approximately 24 days! (see how Allah swt has created this universe and its way of rounding every single second? Subhanallah...)
