Frequently Asked Questions

How are Islamic holiday dates determined?

Islamic holiday dates are determined based on the Hijri calendar, which follows the lunar cycle. The beginning of each Hijri month is determined by the sighting of the new moon (rukyatul hilal) and astronomical calculations (hisab).

Why do Islamic holiday dates change every year?

The Hijri calendar is based on lunar cycles and consists of 354 or 355 days in a year, while the Gregorian calendar is based on solar cycles with 365 or 366 days in a year. This difference causes Hijri dates to move backward by approximately 10-11 days each year in the Gregorian calendar.

Which Islamic holidays are typically observed as public holidays?

Islamic holidays often observed as public holidays in many countries include: Islamic New Year (1 Muharram), the Prophet's Birthday (12 Rabi al-Awwal), Isra and Mi'raj (27 Rajab), Eid al-Fitr (1-2 Shawwal), and Eid al-Adha (10 Dhu al-Hijjah).
