Why month lengths change

A new Hijri month starts with the new crescent, and the average lunar month is about 29.53 days, so months alternate between 29 and 30 days with no fixed pattern: Ramadan has 30 days in 1447 AH but 29 in 1448 AH. More in The Hijri months in order.

Using the calendar

  • Find an occasion: open the month and read the Gregorian date under each Hijri day.
  • Plan around Ramadan or holidays together with the countdown.
  • Convert one specific date with the Hijri–Gregorian Converter.

Dates on older documents may follow local moon sighting and differ by a day; for official matters, the document prevails. See The Umm al-Qura calendar explained.
