Frequently asked questions
Why might the date differ by a day locally?
Many countries start months by moon sighting, which can be a day later than calculated calendars like Umm al-Qura. Check with local religious authorities for Ramadan and Eid.
How long is a Hijri year?
About 354 or 355 days — 12 lunar months — so Islamic dates move about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year.
What does AH mean?
Anno Hegirae — 'in the year of the Hijra', counted from the Prophet's migration to Medina in 622 CE.
