Islamic date questions
What is the Islamic date today?
Today is 26 Jumada al-Awwal 1448 AH, which is Friday, 6 November 2026. The Islamic day begins at sunset, so after sunset the Hijri date moves to 27 Jumada al-Awwal 1448 AH.
What Hijri year is it?
It is currently 1448 AH. The Hijri year counts from the migration of the Prophet, peace be upon him, from Makkah to Madinah in 622 CE.
Why do Islamic dates differ by a day between sources?
The Hijri calendar is lunar and each month begins with the new crescent. This calendar follows the Umm al-Qura calculation used in Saudi Arabia. Communities that wait for a local moon sighting can begin a month a day earlier or later, which is why two calendars can disagree by one day.
When does Ramadan start?
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on Monday, 8 February 2027, 94 days away. The exact start is confirmed by the moon sighting.
When is Eid al-Adha?
Eid al-Adha, also called Bakrid, is expected on Sunday, 16 May 2027. It falls on 10 Dhul Hijjah, the day after the Day of Arafah.
How many days are in an Islamic year?
A Hijri year runs 354 or 355 days across twelve lunar months of 29 or 30 days. That is about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian year, which is why Islamic dates arrive roughly eleven days earlier each year and move through all the seasons over about 33 years.
Turn the date into something lasting
Ramadan begins 8 February 2027. Your Zakah and Sadaqah reach families in 33+ countries, with 91% of funds going directly to programs.
Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, the calculated Hijri calendar used in Saudi Arabia, covering 1437 to 1456 AH. Months that open with a moon sighting, Muharram, Ramadan, Shawwal, and Dhul Hijjah, can begin a day either side of the calculated date, so please confirm observance dates with your local mosque.
