How the Centre establishes these dates
The start of this month has been confirmed on the completion of the previous month at 30 days, with no sighting verified on the Centre's own horizon, reckoned on south-east Queensland (greater Brisbane), so these dates are firm.
Hijri dates on this site are established by moon sighting, not by calculation. A month begins for the Centre when the new crescent has been sighted with the naked eye on our own horizon, south-east Queensland; where no sighting is confirmed here, the outgoing month is completed at 30 days. Dates shown as expected are subject to that confirmation. Members who follow a marja with a different ruling on the horizon, or on sighting through instruments, should follow their own marja — these dates govern the Centre’s programme.

Where communities differ on a date, both positions are shown rather than one being presented as correct. Families at this Centre follow different maraji, and the calendar reflects that.

The Hijri date, answered
- What is today's Hijri date in Australia?
- Today is 24 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH at the Fatima Zahra Imamia Centre in North Ipswich, Queensland, which is Thursday 5 November 2026. The Islamic day begins at Maghrib rather than at midnight, so the Hijri date changes in the evening. The start of Jumada al-Ula has been confirmed on the completion of the previous month at 30 days, with no sighting verified on the Centre's own horizon, reckoned on south-east Queensland (greater Brisbane), so this date is firm.
- When does the next Islamic month begin?
- Jumada al-Thani 1448 is expected to begin on or about Wednesday 11 November 2026, but that is an expectation and not a fixed date. Hijri months begin on the sighting of the new moon, which cannot be known in advance, so the start may move by a day. The Centre confirms each month once the moon has been sighted, and this calendar is marked expected or confirmed accordingly.
