FAQ

Good to know

Hijri months start when the new moon is sighted, and that can differ by a day or two between countries. Umm al-Qura is Saudi Arabia's calendar; in Pakistan and India the date is often one day behind, so use the −1 adjustment.

Umm al-Qura follows Saudi Arabia's published tables, available for 1300–1600 AH (1882–2174). The tabular calendar is a fixed rule — months alternate 30 and 29 days with 11 leap years every 30 — and works for any year.

At sunset. A Hijri date's evening falls on the Gregorian day before, so Ramadan's first night is the evening before its first fast.
