Islamic Holidays

Important dates observed in the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, including Eid celebrations, Islamic New Year, and major religious observances.

About Islamic Holidays

Islamic holidays are based on the Hijri calendar, a lunar calendar used throughout the Muslim world. Because the Hijri year is shorter than the Gregorian year, Islamic holidays move through different seasons over time.

Major observances include Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Islamic New Year, and Ashura. Dates may vary slightly between countries and communities depending on local moon-sighting practices and religious authorities.

This calendar provides reference dates for widely recognized Islamic holidays and observances.
