Islamic Calendar Correction

Hi,

Islamic calendar is wrong on my apple products. apple should study more about Islamic calendar because many Islamic countries can use different Islamic calendar based on seeing the moon phases. So that sometimes there may occur +1/-1 day differency between other Islamic countries. You may be unfamiliar with this. Ofc a calendar has to have a precise calculation. However muslims are not agree totally about this situation and this calendar which Apple offers affects ppl like me where live a different country doesn't use that moon calendar. We are 1 day forward in Turkiye. So that at least you can give us a chance to correct this calendar with -2/-1/0/+1/+2 by option in the calendar settings. In AppStore many apps about Islamic calendar have this option. this is really important issue. I hope we can get a quick help about this before Ramadan feast.

Regards.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.1

Although, you can change your Primary Calendar to the Islamic Calendar you want thru System Preferences, and it shows the proper dates. This is not true for 'Show alternative calendar'; And that islamic Calendar is offset by -/+1. Currently its showing 1st of Shawwal on the July 7th instead of the July 6th. This would be true for the rest of the devices as well.
