The Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri or lunar calendar, is based on the lunar cycle. It has 12 months of 29 or 30 days each.
Here is an overview of important dates for the year 1447 Hijri, corresponding to 2026-2027 in the Gregorian calendar.
The Islamic (Hijri) calendar has 12 lunar months of 29 or 30 days, making a year of 354 or 355 days. Each month begins at the new moon.
In the Hijri calendar, four months are considered sacred: Dhu al-Qi'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab. These months hold a special place in Islam.
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Hijri calendar. Its date varies each year in the Gregorian calendar because the Islamic calendar is lunar (11 days shorter). The start of Ramadan is confirmed by the sighting of the new moon or by local religious authorities.
Eid al-Fitr (Festival of Breaking the Fast) takes place on the 1st day of Shawwal, immediately after Ramadan. This holiday marks the end of the fasting month.
Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) takes place on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, after the Day of Arafat. This holiday commemorates Ibrahim's (Abraham's) sacrifice and coincides with the end of the Hajj pilgrimage.
The Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) takes place from the 8th to 12th of Dhu al-Hijjah. The most important day is the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah (Day of Arafat), when pilgrims gather on Mount Arafat. The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam.
The White Days (Al-Ayyam Al-Bid) are the 13th, 14th, and 15th of each lunar month. They are called this because the moon is full and the nights are illuminated. Fasting on these three days is a recommended Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
The four sacred months are: Dhu al-Qi'dah (11th), Dhu al-Hijjah (12th), Muharram (1st), and Rajab (7th). During these months, good deeds are multiplied and fighting is forbidden (except in self-defense). These months have held special importance since pre-Islamic times.
