Dates for

Dates calculatedThe start of this month was not recorded here, so the dates below are the calculation, not a sighting.

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. 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. The Centre in North Ipswich keeps the Australian dates.
