Frequently asked questions
What is the Islamic date today?
Today, Thursday, 12 November 2026, is 2 Jumada al-Thani 1448 AH (٢ جمادى الآخرة ١٤٤٨ هـ) by the Umm al-Qura calendar. In countries that start the month by sighting the moon, the date can differ by a day.
What year is it in the Islamic calendar?
It is the year 1448 AH (Anno Hegirae). Years are counted from the Hijra, the Prophet Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. The year 1449 AH begins on Sunday, 6 June 2027.
When is Ramadan 2027?
By the Umm al-Qura calendar, Ramadan begins on Monday, 8 February 2027 and ends on Monday, 8 March 2027, and Eid al-Fitr is on Tuesday, 9 March 2027. The fast begins after the new crescent is sighted, so the start can differ by a day from country to country.
When is Eid al-Adha 2027?
Eid al-Adha is on Sunday, 16 May 2027, and the Day of Arafah on Saturday, 15 May 2027, by the Umm al-Qura calendar. The holiday begins on the evening before and lasts four days.
Why does Ramadan move every year?
The Islamic calendar is purely lunar: its 12 months have 29 or 30 days, so a year has 354 or 355 days, about 11 days fewer than the solar year. That is why Ramadan and the Eids come about 11 days earlier each year and pass through every season in about 33 years.
What is the Umm al-Qura calendar?
It is the official calendar of Saudi Arabia, calculated in advance from the astronomical new moon and moonset at Mecca. Many countries and apps use it; others begin a month only when the new crescent is actually seen.
