Islamic Calendar 2026 (1447–1448 AH) – Hijri Dates, Ramadan & Eid

The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar made up of 12 months and about 354 days. It begins with the sighting of the new moon, which means dates may differ by one day from country to country. This provides a complete look at the Islamic Calendar 2026 (1447–1448 AH), covering both global calculated dates and guidance for Pakistan, where official dates are confirmed through local moon sighting.

The information below is based on a global crescent-sighting model, similar to the widely used Al-Habib Global Islamic Calendar. It gives an accurate and reliable view of how Hijri months align with the Gregorian calendar through the entire year 2026.

For Pakistan, most of these dates will closely match the announcement of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, but slight variations of one day are possible. For exact religious observances, always follow the official announcement in your country.

Major Islamic Months & Events Explained

Ramadan 2026 (1447 AH)

Ramadan is expected to begin on Thursday, 19 February 2026, according to global calculations. Muslims will begin fasting from the next morning. Taraweeh prayers will start the night before. The actual start date in Pakistan may differ by one day based on official moon sighting.

Eid ul-Fitr 2026

Eid ul-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, is predicted to fall on Friday, 20 March 2026 (1 Shawwal 1447 AH). This is a global estimate; Pakistan’s date will be announced by the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee.

• Day of Arafah: Tuesday, 26 May 2026 (9 Dhul-Hijjah)

Islamic Calendar in Pakistan vs Global Dates

Many Muslims follow global printed calendars, while others rely on official national moon sighting. Here’s what you need to know:

Why there is a difference

The global Islamic calendar uses astronomical predictions to estimate when the new moon will be visible. Pakistan and some other countries rely on actual sighting of the crescent through a recognized committee.

This may cause a difference of one day compared to global calendars.

Which one should you follow?

For religious obligations—fasting, Eid prayers, Hajj—it is always recommended to follow your local moon-sighting authority.
The global calendar is excellent for planning purposes, school timetables, event scheduling, and general reference.
