=Tajik Christians='''Mohammedan''' (plural '''Muhammedun''', Hebrew: '''Mahamadim''') is the name used by a Torah observant category of Muslims Muslim respected by the Ummah of Hunafā' in the family of Abraham (Ahl ul Bait) as grooms (teachers) concerning the religion of Hanīfiyyah (the Law of Abraham) in accordance with Quranic traditions. Thus the shahada for the Ahlulbait and its supporters has always been "La ilaha ill Allah Muhammadun rasul Allah".
=HaLakhah Shammai=Mohammedans preserve many ancient "Shammai" practices which distinguish their Torah observance from Hillelite Jews. For example, Excellent examples of these differences can be seen in the Calendar. =Calendar=The Mohammedans (who do not use Umar's Hijri calendar) use a variant of the Hebrew calendar where they only insert Nasi (Nissan) as an intercaliary month after Aviv (Dhul Hijjah) but never after Adar (Dhu al-Qi'dah) before the month of Aviv. In the last days of Khislev (Sha'aban) they count down from 8 Hanukah candles to one on the run-up to Tevet (Ramadaan) and observe the first of Shevat (Shawwal) as Tu Bishvat (Eid ul-Fitr) instead of the 15th. They count the Omer from Palm Sunday, the 8th of Dhul Hijjah (the first day of Hajj (8th Dhul Hijjah), rather than from the 15th (the morning after the Passover), and so Pentecost is also always one week before Christian/Karaite Hillelite Pentecost. Some Mohammedans have abandoned lunar calendars altogether in favour of the international system where they use March as Aviv (Dhul Hijjah).
