The Islamic (Hijri) calendar has 12 months. Each month is based on the lunar cycle (about 29–30 days). The months are: Muharram, Safar, Rabi al-Awwal, Rabi al-Thani, Jumada al-Awwal, Jumada al-Thani, Rajab, Sha'ban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhu al-Qi'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah. Ramadan is the 9th month (fasting); Shawwal follows (Eid al-Fitr); Dhu al-Hijjah is when Hajj and Eid al-Adha occur.
Islamic Calendar Overview
The Islamic calendar (Hijri calendar) is a purely lunar calendar. It has approximately 354 days per year, so Islamic dates shift earlier by about 11 days each Gregorian year. The calendar began in 622 CE with the Hijrah (migration) of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Mecca to Medina. Use our Islamic Calendar to view full Gregorian–Hijri conversions.
