Frequently asked questions
What is today's Islamic date?
Today, Monday, 5 October 2026, is 24 Rabi al-Thani 1448 AH in the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia. In Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, where each month begins with a local moon sighting, the date is usually one day behind.
When does the Islamic year 1449 AH begin?
1 Muharram 1449 AH falls on Sunday, 6 June 2027 in the Umm al-Qura calendar.
Why can the Islamic date differ by a day?
Every Hijri month begins with the new crescent moon. Saudi Arabia's Umm al-Qura calendar fixes the start by astronomical calculation; many countries wait for the crescent to be seen locally, which can happen a day later.
