Islamic Calendar 2026 – Hijri 1447/1448 | Important Islamic Dates Included

The Islamic or Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. In 2026, the Islamic calendar falls on two years: 1447 AH and 1448 AH (AH stands for Anno Hegirae, Latin for “in the year of the Hijrah,” referring to the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ migration from Makkah to Madinah).

How the Hijri Calendar Works

The Hijri calendar is based on the moon’s cycle, unlike the solar-based Gregorian calendar. Every month starts with the sighting of the new moon, so it can be 29 or 30 days in duration. There are twelve months in the Islamic calendar:

  1. Muharram
  2. Safar
  3. Rabi’ al-Awwal
  4. Rabi’ al-Thani
  5. Jumada al-Awwal
  6. Jumada al-Thani
  7. Rajab
  8. Sha’ban
  9. Ramadan
  10. Shawwal
  11. Dhul Qa’dah
  12. Dhul Hijjah

Dates in the Islamic calendar drift backward by 10–11 days in the Gregorian calendar each year, changing the timing of important events like Ramadan and Hajj every year.
