How is the Islamic (Hijri) calendar calculated on ilmidunya?

The Islamic calendar is a purely lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Our calendar uses the standardized Umm al-Qura astronomical calculation as its baseline and includes a 1-click Moon Sighting Adjustment tool (-2 to +2 days) to match official announcements by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee of Pakistan and regional moon sighting bodies worldwide.

Why does the Islamic date in Pakistan sometimes differ by 1 day from Saudi Arabia?

Islamic lunar months begin upon the physical sighting of the crescent moon (Hilal). Due to the geographical position and time zone of Pakistan relative to Saudi Arabia, the new crescent is often sighted on the subsequent evening in Pakistan, leading to a 1-day variance. You can use our Moon Sighting Adjustment slider at the top of the calendar to instantly align with Pakistan’s official Ruet-e-Hilal dates.

Which months are the 4 Sacred Months (Ashhur al-Hurum)?

As stated in the Holy Quran (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:36), the four sacred months are: Muharram (1st month), Rajab (7th month), Dhu al-Qi'dah (11th month), and Dhu al-Hijjah (12th month). In these months, good deeds carry multiplied rewards, and transgressions are considered especially grave.

What are Ayyam al-Beed (The White Days) and when is Sunnah fasting observed?

Ayyam al-Beed are the 13th, 14th, and 15th nights of every lunar month when the full moon shines brightest. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ strongly recommended fasting these three days every month, stating it is equivalent to fasting a lifetime (Sunan an-Nasa'i). Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays is also an established Sunnah practice highlighted in our calendar.

Ayyam al-Beed (White Days)

The 13th, 14th, and 15th of every Islamic month are the blessed days of the full moon. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged fasting these days for immense spiritual cleansing.

Four Sacred Months

Muharram, Rajab, Dhu al-Qi'dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah are declared sacred in Surah At-Tawbah (9:36). Good deeds, prayers, and charity are multiplied manifold during these times.
