About this tool
This page resolves the next upcoming date for every major event of the Islamic calendar — Ramadan, Laylat al-Qadr, Eid al-Fitr, the Day of Arafah, Eid al-Adha, the Islamic New Year (1 Muharram), the Day of Ashura, and Mawlid an-Nabi. Each event has a fixed (Hijri month, Hijri day) pair; the tool computes the corresponding Gregorian date and counts the days remaining from today.
How the countdown works
For every event the page calls islamic_lookup_gregorian() with the current Hijri year. If the resulting Gregorian date has already passed, it retries with the next Hijri year — so the list always shows future dates only. Results come from the Aladhan calendar API using the Umm al-Qura calculated calendar, which is the standard reference across South Asia.
The eight tracked events
- 1 Muharram — Islamic New Year, first day of the Hijri year.
- 10 Muharram (Ashura) — day of fasting; martyrdom of Imam Hussain at Karbala.
- 12 Rabi al-awwal — Mawlid an-Nabi, observed birthday of the Prophet ﷺ.
- 1 Ramadan — start of the month of fasting from dawn to sunset.
- 27 Ramadan — Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Power (most-observed estimate).
- 1 Shawwal — Eid al-Fitr, festival breaking the Ramadan fast.
- 9 Dhu al-Hijjah — Day of Arafah, the climax of the Hajj pilgrimage.
- 10 Dhu al-Hijjah — Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice.
Local moonsighting
The dates shown come from a calculated calendar. Local moonsighting committees in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia may declare Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, or Eid al-Adha one day earlier or later than the calculated date. Use this page as a planning aid and confirm with your local mosque on the eve of the 29th of the relevant Hijri month.
