Islamic Calendar 2023

Hijri Calendar 1444 / 1445

Support Sadaqah Jariyah Projects

Hold on to Allah's love and mercy throughout the year by supporting a Sadaqah Jariyah project.

Muslims around the world use the Islamic Calendar (also known as the Lunar or Hijri calendar) to determine the dates of religious events and observances. This 2023 Islamic calendar is based on 12 lunar months – a new month begins when a new moon is sighted.
