How Does the Hijri Calendar Work?

The Hijri calendar is a lunar-based system with 12 months of 29 or 30 days each, totaling 354-355 days per year. Because it is roughly 10-11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar, Islamic dates shift earlier each year relative to Gregorian months.

How It Works:

  • Lunar-based calendar (follows moon phases)
  • 12 months per year
  • 354-355 days per year (10-11 days shorter than Gregorian)
  • Months alternate between 29 and 30 days

The 12 Islamic Months:

  1. Muharram - Sacred month
  2. Safar - Month of travel
  3. Rabi al-Awwal - First spring
  4. Rabi al-Thani - Second spring
  5. Jumada al-Awwal - First freeze
  6. Jumada al-Thani - Second freeze
  7. Rajab - Sacred month
  8. Sha’ban - Month of division
  9. Ramadan - Month of fasting
  10. Shawwal - Month of hunting
  11. Dhul Qa’dah - Sacred month of rest
  12. Dhul Hijjah - Month of Hajj

Sacred Months:

Four months are considered sacred in Islam:

  • Muharram
  • Rajab
  • Dhul Qa’dah
  • Dhul Hijjah
