Today in the Islamic (Hijri) calendar
–
The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is a lunar calendar of 12 months, each 29 or 30 days long, so its year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year and Ramadan moves through the seasons. Years are counted from the Hijra, the Prophet Muhammad's migration to Medina in 622 CE. The dates here follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, the official calendar of Saudi Arabia.
In many countries a month — especially Ramadan and Shawwal — begins only when the new crescent moon is sighted, so Ramadan and Eid can start a day earlier or later than shown here. Check your local announcement.
