How the Islamic calendar works

The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is purely lunar: each month begins with the new crescent moon and lasts 29 or 30 days, and twelve months add up to 354 or 355 days. It counts from the Hijrah — the Prophet’s ﷺ migration from Makkah to Madinah in 622 CE.

Because the Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar year, Islamic dates arrive roughly 11 days earlier each Gregorian year — which is why Ramadan, the Eids, and Hajj move through all the seasons over a cycle of about 33 years.

The dates on this page follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, the official pre-computed calendar of Saudi Arabia used for civil purposes and as the reference for the Islamic dates in Makkah.

The binding start of each month — especially Ramadan, Shawwal, and Dhuʻl-Hijjah — is confirmed by the actual sighting of the crescent moon and announced by the religious authorities in each country, so an observed date can differ by a day from the calendar shown here.
