The Islamic Calendar 2025
The Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri or Arabic calendar, is used by Muslims worldwide to determine religious events and observances.
This lunar calendar has 12 months, and each month begins around the time of a new moon. Each year is either 354 or 355 days long, with each month lasting 29 to 30 days, except for Dhū al-Ḥijjah, the 12th month, which varies in duration to maintain the calendar's alignment with the phases of the moon.
Note: The dates below are subject to slight change and deviation, dependent on moon sighting.
Names of each month
- Muharram (المحرّم): ‘forbidden’ or ‘sacred’
- Safar (صفر): ‘void’ or ‘the second month’
- Rabi' al-Awwal (ربيع الأول): ‘the first spring’
- Rabi' al-Thani (ربيع الآخر): ‘the second spring’ or ‘the last spring’
- Jumada al-Awwal (جمادى الأولى): ‘the first dry month’
- Jumada al-Thani (جمادى الآخرة): ‘the second dry month’ or ‘last dry month’

The starting point for the years of the Islamic calendar is counted from the Hijrah, the year the Prophet Muhammad fled persecution in Mecca and moved to Medina. The first year of the Islamic calendar, 1 Muharram A.H. 1, corresponds to July 16, 622 C.E.
