About Islamic Holidays in 2026
The 2026 Islamic Holidays calendar lists 5 observances mapped to Gregorian dates for this year. Entries are distributed across 5 months of the Gregorian calendar.
Islamic holidays follow the Hijri lunar calendar. Because the Hijri year is shorter than the Gregorian year, the same observance shifts to different Gregorian months over time. Major dates in 2026 may include Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Islamic New Year, and Ashura.
Reference dates may differ from locally announced dates based on moon-sighting practices or religious authority.
