Dates for

Dates expectedHijri months begin on the sighting of the new moon, which cannot be known in advance. Every date below may move by a day.

How the Centre establishes these dates

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.

Calculated for PakistanThese are Pakistan’s dates, calculated, not announced. A month there is expected to begin the day after the crescent can first be seen there by eye, and every date below may move by a day when it is announced in Pakistan. The Centre in North Ipswich keeps the Australian dates.

Calculated for IndiaThese are India’s dates, calculated, not announced. A month there is expected to begin the day after the crescent can first be seen there by eye, and every date below may move by a day when it is announced in India. The Centre in North Ipswich keeps the Australian dates.
