PLEASE NOTE: THESE DATES ARE APPROXIMATE AND MAY CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE SIGHTING OF THE NEW MOON AT THE END OF EACH MONTH
In the traditional Islamic calendar, the beginning and length of each month are determined by the physical sighting of the crescent moon by an authorised individual or committee. As this process depends on actual observation rather than fixed calculations, the exact length of Islamic months cannot always be confirmed in advance.

The decision to undergo Hijama should always be based on individual health needs and personal medical considerations.
What Is the Islamic Hijri Calendar?
The Islamic Hijri calendar, also referred to as the Islamic lunar calendar, is used by Muslims around the world to determine key religious dates and observances. These include Ramadan, Hajj, Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha.
The Islamic calendar is based solely on lunar cycles. Each new Islamic month begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon, meaning the calendar is guided by natural moon observations rather than fixed calculations.
What Are the Islamic Months?
The Islamic Hijri calendar is made up of 12 lunar months, listed below in numerical order:
Muharram
Safar
Rabi al Awwal
Rabi al Thani
Jumada al Awwal
Jumada al Thani
Rajab
Shaban
Ramadan
Shawwal
Dhul Qadah
Dhul Hijjah, the month of Hajj
These months form the structure of the Islamic year and are used to determine fasting, pilgrimage and other acts of worship.
How Many Days Are in the Islamic Calendar?
The Islamic Hijri calendar consists of either 354 or 355 days in a year. Each month lasts for 29 or 30 days, depending on when the crescent moon is sighted.
As the Islamic calendar is shorter than the Gregorian calendar, Islamic dates shift earlier by approximately 10 to 11 days each year.
Why Islamic Dates Can Vary
Islamic dates can vary between countries and regions because the traditional Islamic calendar depends on the physical sighting of the crescent moon. Some regions rely on local sightings, while others follow calculated or global moon sightings.
For this reason, the start of Islamic months and important dates such as Ramadan or Eid may differ slightly depending on location.
