Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain the month of the Islamic calendar in which the Hajj falls, relay its significance and observances from reference sources respectfully with dates checked, and distinguish it from other Islamic months and from the pilgrimage and festival it contains.

The twelfth and final month of the Islamic lunar calendar, one of the four sacred months, during which the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca takes place and the festival of Eid al-Adha is observed; the name means the month of the pilgrimage. Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, its months move through the seasons, and dates should be checked against current sources. The month is treated respectfully as a matter of religious observance.

What it is for: Marking the pilgrimage month of the Islamic calendar.

It can be explain the month; relay its significance; relay its observances respectfully; distinguish it from other months.
