About the Islamic calendar in 2024
The Gregorian year 2024 overlaps two Hijri years, with 1445 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 2024?
On the tabular Islamic calendar, 1 Ramaḍān 1445 AH falls on 11 March 2024 (Monday) in 2024. The actual first day of fasting depends on the local moon sighting and may differ by about a day.
When is Eid in 2024?
Eid al-Fiṭr (1 Shawwāl) is 10 April 2024 (Wednesday), and Eid al-Aḍḥā (10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah) is 17 June 2024 (Monday) by the tabular calendar. Both may shift by ±1 day with the moon sighting.
What Hijri year is 2024?
Most of 2024 lies within 1445 AH, which runs from 19 July 2023 to 7 July 2024. Because the Hijri year is about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian year, a single Gregorian year always overlaps two Hijri years.
Are these 2024 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.
