Ramadan & Islamic Calendar

The Ramadan & Islamic Calendar tracks the principal religious holidays of the Islamic (Hijri) lunar calendar, including Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Islamic New Year, Mawlid al-Nabi, and Laylat al-Mi'raj. The calendar is based on the Umm al-Qura system of astronomical calculation, widely used in Saudi Arabia and by many Islamic organisations worldwide, with final dates confirmed by the Saudi moon-sighting committee. Because the Hijri year is roughly 11 days shorter than the solar Gregorian year, every observance shifts earlier by that amount annually, cycling through all seasons over approximately three decades. All entries are full-day events, reflecting how Muslims observe these holidays from sunset to sunset. Ramadan marks the month of dawn-to-dusk fasting, and its first day is recorded as well as Eid al-Fitr, which concludes the fast. Eid al-Adha, the Feast of the Sacrifice, falls during the Hajj pilgrimage period, while the Islamic New Year commemorates the Hijra to Medina. Mawlid al-Nabi celebrates the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, and Laylat al-Mi'raj recalls the night journey and ascension. The feed provides estimated dates for the current and upcoming year. Because lunar visibility depends on local atmospheric conditions and the crescent's altitude, actual observance may vary by a day among different countries or communities, but the Saudi-based estimates serve as the most widely referenced standard. Muslim individuals, diaspora communities, interfaith organisations, Islamic schools, and businesses that accommodate religious leave or holiday marketing can use this smart calendar feed — free to subscribe — to keep these holidays visible in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. The feed integrates into day-to-day planning tools, avoiding the need to manually transfer dates from printed tables or websites. For event planners, it ensures awareness of shifting Ramadan timings years in advance, and for workplaces it provides an authoritative reference for scheduling meetings and deadlines around major Islamic holidays. The calendar updates regularly so any official adjustments announced by the Saudi moon-sighting authority — such as a delayed start to Ramadan or confirmation of Eid — appear automatically, without manual editing.
