The Islamic calendar 2026, also known as the Hijri calendar, Muslim calendar, or Arabic calendar, covers Hijri years 1447 and 1448 AH (Anno Hegirae). It is a purely lunar calendar consisting of 12 months totaling 354 or 355 days — approximately 10–11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar each year.
Ramadan 2026 (Ramadan 1447 AH) is expected to begin on 18 February 2026 and end on 19 March 2026, subject to moon sighting. During Ramadan, Muslims worldwide observe obligatory fasting (Sawm) from Fajr (dawn) to Maghrib (sunset). The last 10 nights of Ramadan are especially significant, particularly Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power), which falls on an odd night in the last 10 nights — most commonly believed to be the 27th night (~14 March 2026).
Eid ul-Fitr 2026 (Festival of Breaking the Fast) marks the end of Ramadan and is expected on 20 March 2026 (1 Shawwal 1447 AH). It is one of the two major Islamic festivals, observed with prayers, feasting, charity (Zakat al-Fitr), and celebrations.
Eid ul-Adha 2026 is expected on 27 May 2026 (10 Dhul Hijjah 1447 AH), commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to sacrifice his son. It coincides with the Hajj pilgrimage. The Day of Arafah (9 Dhul Hijjah) falls the day before, on ~25 May 2026.
The Islamic New Year 1448 AH is expected to begin on 26 June 2026 (1 Muharram 1448). Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar and one of the four sacred months. The Day of Ashura (10 Muharram) falls around 5 July 2026.
Mawlid al-Nabi 2026 (12 Rabi' al-Awwal 1448 AH) is expected on 24 August 2026, commemorating the birth of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The Islamic year consists of 12 months: Muharram, Safar, Rabi' al-Awwal, Rabi' al-Thani, Jumada al-Awwal, Jumada al-Thani, Rajab, Sha'ban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhul Qadah, and Dhul Hijjah. Use our free Hijri to Gregorian converter above to find any Islamic date.
