Find This Year’s Islamic Holiday Dates
| Occasion | Hijri Date | Estimated Gregorian Date |

Each point marks where an occasion falls across the Gregorian year — the tool’s signature timeline view.
Note: this Islamic Holidays Date Finder uses the standard tabular calculation, not local moon sighting — actual observed dates can differ by ±1–2 days. See “Common Mistakes” below.
What Is an Islamic Holidays Date Finder?
An Islamic Holidays Date Finder is a calculator that maps the fixed dates of the Hijri (lunar) calendar — like 1 Ramadan or 10 Dhul-Hijjah — onto their equivalent dates in a specific Gregorian year. Because the Hijri calendar is roughly 10–11 days shorter than the solar year, Islamic holidays shift earlier every Gregorian year, which is exactly the gap this Islamic Holidays Date Finder closes.
Rather than pulling from a live API, this Islamic Holidays Date Finder runs a fixed mathematical rule (the tabular Islamic calendar) directly in your browser, so results appear instantly, work offline, and nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
How This Islamic Holidays Date Finder Works
- Enter a Gregorian year — any year from 1937 to 2076.
- The engine finds the overlapping Hijri years that fall inside that Gregorian year.
- Each occasion’s fixed Hijri month/day (e.g. 1 Shawwal for Eid al-Fitr) is converted forward through a Julian Day Number.
- The result is checked to confirm it lands inside your chosen Gregorian year.
- Every matching date appears instantly, plotted on the year timeline in the order it occurs.
What Should an Islamic Holidays Date Finder Result Include?
- The occasion name, its Hijri calendar date, and the matching estimated Gregorian date
- Every major fixed-date occasion — not just Ramadan and the two Eids
- A clear accuracy note that tabular results can be ±1–2 days from local moon-sighting announcements
- Results ordered chronologically across the year, not grouped randomly
- An easy way to copy, print, or save the full year’s dates for planning

Best Practices When Using an Islamic Holidays Date Finder
- Treat every result as a reliable estimate, not a religious ruling — always confirm Ramadan and Eid with your local moon-sighting authority
- Book travel or leave with a buffer day either side of Eid, since the exact date is only confirmed the night before
- Remember some countries follow the Umm al-Qura calendar rather than local sighting, which can shift results by a day
- Re-run the Islamic Holidays Date Finder each year — dates are not fixed on the Gregorian calendar

Common Mistakes People Make With Islamic Holiday Dates
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this Islamic Holidays Date Finder?
It uses the standard tabular Islamic calendar, the same civil calculation used by most digital Islamic calendars. Results can be off by 1–2 days compared to a date confirmed by local moon sighting.
Does the Islamic Holidays Date Finder need an internet connection?
No. Once the page loads, all calculation happens locally in your browser using JavaScript — nothing is sent to a server and no API key is used.
Can I look up past or future years?
Yes. The Islamic Holidays Date Finder supports any Gregorian year from 1937 to 2076.
Why does the Islamic Holidays Date Finder show “estimated” dates?
Because the true start of each Hijri month depends on local moon sighting, which can vary by country. The tabular calculation this Islamic Holidays Date Finder uses is a reliable civil approximation, not a religious verdict.
Which occasions does the Islamic Holidays Date Finder cover?
The Islamic New Year, Ashura, Mawlid al-Nabi, the start of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, the Day of Arafah, and Eid al-Adha — you can toggle any of them off before generating results.
Is this Islamic Holidays Date Finder free to use?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many years you look up.
