Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Hijri calendar and how does it count years?

The Hijri calendar is the Islamic lunar calendar consisting of 12 months and 354 or 355 days per year. Years are counted from 622 AD, commemorating the Migration (Hijra) of Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina.

Why do Islamic holiday dates change every year in the Gregorian calendar?

Because the lunar Hijri year is 10 to 12 days shorter than the solar Gregorian year, Islamic observances (such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha) shift earlier by approximately 10 to 11 days each Gregorian year.

Why can Islamic dates differ by one day across different countries?

The start of each lunar month depends on the physical or astronomical sighting of the crescent moon (hilal). Differences in time zones, geographic location, and local religious authority declarations can cause dates to vary by one day.
