About Islamic Calendar

The Islamic, or Hijri, calendar is a lunar calendar that guides the religious life of Muslims across the world. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which is based on the sun, the Islamic calendar follows the phases of the moon. It consists of 12 lunar months and has 354 or 355 days, causing Islamic dates to shift about 10 to 12 days earlier each year.

The calendar begins from a major turning point in Islamic history — the Hijra, the migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Makkah to Madinah in 622 CE. This event marks the first year of the Islamic calendar (1 AH).

Every month starts with the sighting of the new moon. Since moon visibility can differ by region, some countries rely on local observations, while others follow calculated systems like Saudi Arabia’s Umm al-Qura calendar.

Key months include Ramadan, the month of fasting; Shawwal, which begins with Eid-ul-Fitr; Dhul Hijjah, when Muslims perform Hajj and celebrate Eid-ul-Adha; and Muharram, especially the 10th day, Ashura, which holds deep spiritual meaning.

More than a calendar, it is a sacred timeline that links over 1.9 billion Muslims to their faith, rituals, and shared history year after year.
