Frequently asked questions
How does the Islamic calendar work?
It is a lunar calendar of 12 months of 29 or 30 days, about 354 days a year. That is why Islamic dates move back about 11 days each year in the regular calendar. The count starts with the Hijra, the Prophet Muhammad’s journey from Mecca to Medina in 622.
Are the Ramadan dates exact?
They follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, used officially in Saudi Arabia. In many countries the start of the month depends on sighting the new moon, so the date may differ by a day.
