Read complete guideEstimated date: Islamic dates begin at sunset and can vary by one day after local moon-sighting announcements.
The crescent moons help people determine time

Quran 2:189Twelve months, including four sacred months
Quran 9:36 states that the number of months is twelve and that four are sacred.
Quran 9:36Questions about dates, observance and moon sighting
When does an Islamic day begin?
An Islamic day begins at sunset, so an observance starts on the evening before the daytime Gregorian date shown in many calendars.
Why can an Islamic event date change by one day?
Hijri months may begin after verified crescent sighting. A calculated date supports planning, while the confirmed local date can be one day earlier or later.
Which Islamic dates depend on moon sighting?
Every Hijri month is lunar, but local confirmation is especially important for Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Dhul Hijjah, Arafah and Eid al-Adha.
How should I prepare for a special Islamic day?
Begin with the obligatory prayers, learn the event from reliable sources and plan Quran, dua, charity, family learning or fasting only where it is supported.
Are all listed practices obligatory?
No. The individual guides distinguish general beneficial actions from event-specific practices. Ask a qualified scholar when observance differs across communities.
Where can I find prayer and fasting times?
Open your country and city prayer-time page for local Fajr and Maghrib times, and use the Ramadan calendar for the expected fasting month.
