How the Islamic Calendar Works in Pakistan
Pakistan follows lunar months confirmed through moon sighting. The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee announces the official start of each Islamic month after reviewing sighting reports from across the country. Because of this, Pakistan’s confirmed Hijri date can differ from pre-calculated international calendars.
Moon Sighting and Islamic Dates
This Islamic Calendar 2026 provides calculated Hijri dates for planning and reference. In Pakistan, the official beginning of Ramadan, Shawwal and other Islamic months follows local moon sighting announcements, so an observed date can differ from a calculated date.
The 12 Months in the Islamic Calendar
The Hijri year starts with Muharram and ends with Dhul Hijjah. The calendar above keeps all 12 Islamic months together so you can check the sequence of months, their length and the Gregorian dates that overlap each Hijri month.
Muharram, Rajab, Dhul Qadah and Dhul Hijjah are known as the four sacred months. Ramadan is the month of fasting, while Hajj takes place in Dhul Hijjah.
Islamic Calendar 2026 and Gregorian Dates
A Gregorian month does not line up permanently with one Hijri month. During 2026, different parts of the year fall across different Hijri months. That is why each calendar card above shows both systems together instead of listing only one date format.
Use the month shortcuts above the calendar to move directly to Muharram, Ramadan, Dhul Hijjah or any other Hijri month. You can also switch between the nearby Hijri years without changing the page layout.
