Over how many years will Ramadan have passed through all seasons of the year?
Every 33 solar years, Ramadan passes through all seasons of the year, because the lunar year is 11 days longer than the solar year, and every 33 solar years constitute a full lunar year. And the Almighty’s saying: "And they remained in their cave three hundred years and added nine" means 300 solar years and 309 lunar years. This is to indicate the Arabic history affirmed by Islam, while also referencing solar years as the history for the People of the Cave.
