Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar. Because many communities confirm months by local moon sighting, an observed date can differ by one day — always confirm Ramadan and Eid dates with your local authority.
How it is calculated — and its limits
All dates use the Umm al-Qura (Islamic) calendar as implemented by your browser's internationalisation system — no server and no external API is involved, so the calendar works even offline once the page has loaded.
Event dates are the fixed Hijri dates of each observance. Actual observance can shift by a day with local moon sighting, which is noted beside each event.
How to use it
- Read today's Hijri date at the top.
- Browse the current month — today is highlighted.
- Check upcoming events below the month grid and plan ahead.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the Islamic year about 11 days shorter?
The Islamic calendar is purely lunar: 12 months of 29 or 30 days make about 354 days. So Ramadan and the Eids move about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year and cycle through all the seasons over roughly 33 years.
Why might my country observe Eid a day later?
Many communities begin a month only when the new crescent is sighted locally, while calculated calendars like Umm al-Qura fix dates astronomically in advance. A one-day difference is normal and expected.
Which calendar does this page use?
