About the Islamic calendar in 2024
The Gregorian year 2024 overlaps 1445–1446 AH, with 1445 AH accounting for most of it. Every date above is a result of the tabular civil model, which is deterministic, reversible within that model 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, Ramadan begins 11 March 2024 (Monday; 1 Ramaḍān 1445 AH). The dedicated Ramadan page also includes any period crossing into or out of 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; 1 Shawwāl 1445 AH); Eid al-Aḍḥā (10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah) is 17 June 2024 (Monday; 10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 1445 AH) by the tabular calendar. These dates may shift by ±1 day with the moon sighting.
What Hijri year is 2024?
2024 overlaps 1445–1446 AH; most of the Gregorian year lies within 1445 AH, which runs from 19 July 2023 to 7 July 2024. Because the Hijri year is about eleven days shorter, one Gregorian year overlaps two Hijri years.
Are these 2024 Islamic dates exact?
They are deterministic results from the tabular civil model and are useful as planning estimates. Religious observances follow the sighting or official determination of the new moon, however, so confirm the observed day with your local authority.
