See every major upcoming Islamic occasion at a glance — Islamic New Year, Ashura, Ramadan, Laylat al-Qadr, Eid al-Fitr, Arafah Day, Eid al-Adha, and more — sorted by which is coming up soonest.
🕌 Islamic Calendar & DatesEverything runs locally in your browser — no sign-up required, and no data is ever sent anywhere.
Every occasion on the Islamic lunar calendar falls on a fixed Hijri day — 10 Muharram for Ashura, 1 Ramadan for the start of fasting, 10 Dhul Hijjah for Eid al-Adha, and so on — so its Gregorian date shifts earlier by roughly 10 to 12 days every year, cycling through all four seasons over about three decades. This tool converts today's Gregorian date into the Hijri calendar using the tabular Kuwaiti algorithm, the same conversion method used consistently across this website, then calculates the next occurrence of each occasion's fixed Hijri date, choosing the current Hijri year if that date hasn't passed yet or the next Hijri year if it has. Every row is then sorted by how many days remain, so the nearest upcoming occasion always appears first. A handful of dates — Mawlid al-Nabi, Isra and Mi'raj, and the middle of Sha'ban — are included as commonly referenced calendar dates rather than universally agreed religious obligations, since views on marking them differ across scholars and communities; they are shown neutrally, for calendar reference only.
Keeping track of the Islamic calendar means keeping track of a moving target. Because every Hijri occasion — from the Islamic New Year to Eid al-Adha — falls on a fixed lunar date rather than a fixed Gregorian one, its position on a regular wall calendar shifts by about 10 to 12 days every single year. Someone who wants to know when Ramadan, Ashura, or Eid al-Fitr will land this year, or simply which Islamic occasion is coming up next, needs a calculation, not a guess.
This tool solves that by listing every major occasion at once rather than one at a time. The Islamic year opens with 1 Muharram (the Islamic New Year) and 10 Muharram (the Day of Ashura, associated with the fasting of Musa and, for Shia Muslims, the remembrance of Karbala). It continues through 1 Ramadan, the start of the obligatory month of fasting; the widely referenced 27th of Ramadan, commonly associated with Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree described in the Qur'an as better than a thousand months, even though its exact night is not fixed with certainty and many scholars encourage seeking it across the last ten odd nights of Ramadan; and 1 Shawwal, Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of the fast. Later in the year comes 9 Dhul Hijjah, the Day of Arafah — the pinnacle of the Hajj pilgrimage and a day of recommended fasting for those not performing Hajj — followed immediately by 10 Dhul Hijjah, Eid al-Adha.
A few additional dates appear on many printed and digital Islamic calendars even though they carry no ritual obligation and are marked with varying degrees of observance across different communities and schools of thought: 12 Rabi' al-Awwal (commonly associated with Mawlid al-Nabi, the Prophet's birth), 27 Rajab (commonly associated with Isra and Mi'raj, the Night Journey and Ascension), and the 15th of Sha'ban (mid-Sha'ban). This tool includes them for calendar completeness and clearly notes that they are commemorative reference dates rather than settled religious rulings, leaving the choice of how, or whether, to mark them entirely up to the individual.
Every date on this page is calculated the moment you load it, by converting today's date into the Hijri calendar with the tabular Kuwaiti algorithm and working out the next occurrence of each occasion's fixed Hijri day — automatically rolling forward to the next Hijri year for any occasion that has already passed this year. The result is a single, always-current snapshot of what's coming up next across the entire Islamic calendar, sorted soonest-first, without needing to look up or calculate each occasion separately.
As with every Hijri tool on this site, remember that tabular calculation is a well-established mathematical estimate rather than an official religious announcement, and that most Muslim-majority countries confirm the real start of each Hijri month through a local moon-sighting committee, which can occasionally shift a date shown here by a day in either direction.
Today's Gregorian date is converted into the Hijri calendar using the tabular Kuwaiti algorithm, then the Gregorian date of each occasion's fixed Hijri day is calculated for the current or next Hijri year, whichever has not yet passed.
Laylat al-Qadr's exact night is not fixed with certainty in Islamic teaching. This page shows the commonly referenced 27th of Ramadan as a widely used estimate, while many scholars recommend seeking it across all of the last ten odd nights of Ramadan.
These are calendar-marked historical dates observed by many Muslims to varying degrees; they are not obligatory rituals, and views on marking them differ across scholars and communities. This page lists their calendar dates neutrally, without asserting a specific ruling.
Yes, every date shown is calculated live from today's date each time you load the page, so it always reflects the current or upcoming Hijri year automatically.
Tabular calculation is a mathematical estimate. The real, official start of each Hijri month is confirmed by an actual moon-sighting committee in most countries, which can shift any of these dates by a day in either direction.
