About the Islamic calendar in 2022
The Gregorian year 2022 overlaps two Hijri years, with 1443 AH accounting for most of it. Every date above is the arithmetic (tabular) result — the same rule Microsoft's "Kuwaiti algorithm" uses — so it round-trips exactly and needs no lookup tables. The lunar Hijri year is roughly eleven days shorter than the Gregorian one, which is why Ramaḍān and the two Eids arrive about eleven days earlier each Gregorian year.
FAQ
When does Ramadan start in 2022?
On the tabular Islamic calendar, 1 Ramaḍān 1443 AH falls on 3 April 2022 (Sunday) in 2022. The actual first day of fasting depends on the local moon sighting and may differ by about a day.
When is Eid in 2022?
Eid al-Fiṭr (1 Shawwāl) is 3 May 2022 (Tuesday), and Eid al-Aḍḥā (10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah) is 10 July 2022 (Sunday) by the tabular calendar. Both may shift by ±1 day with the moon sighting.
What Hijri year is 2022?
Most of 2022 lies within 1443 AH, which runs from 10 August 2021 to 29 July 2022. Because the Hijri year is about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian year, a single Gregorian year always overlaps two Hijri years.
Are these 2022 Islamic dates exact?
They are computed with the deterministic tabular ("Kuwaiti") algorithm, so they are exact as arithmetic and perfect for planning. Religious observances follow the sighting of the new moon, however, so confirm the precise day with your local authority.
