FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are these Islamic dates exact?
They are tabular (Umm al-Qura) estimates, usually within 1–2 days of the sighted date. Ramadan, Shawwal and Dhul-Hijjah always follow your country’s moon committee — see our moon-sighting guide.
Why do Islamic dates move every year?
The Hijri year is lunar (~354 days), so every sacred date arrives ~10–11 days earlier each Gregorian year, cycling through all seasons over ~33 years.
Which are the sacred months?
Muharram, Rajab, Dhul-Qadah and Dhul-Hijjah (Quran 9:36). Deeds weigh heavier in them; fighting was forbidden in them.
When is Eid al-Fitr / Eid al-Adha?
Eid al-Fitr is 1 Shawwal; Eid al-Adha is 10 Dhul-Hijjah. The upcoming-occurrences list above shows the estimated Gregorian dates with day-counts.
Do public holidays follow these dates?
Governments announce Islamic holidays on the Gregorian calendar by local moon sighting, so official days off can differ by country. Use the Gregorian equivalents here for planning and confirm locally.
