About the Islamic calendar in 2028
The Gregorian year 2028 overlaps two Hijri years, with 1450 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 2028?
On the tabular Islamic calendar, 1 Ramaḍān 1449 AH falls on 28 January 2028 (Friday) in 2028. The actual first day of fasting depends on the local moon sighting and may differ by about a day.
When is Eid in 2028?
Eid al-Fiṭr (1 Shawwāl) is 27 February 2028 (Sunday), and Eid al-Aḍḥā (10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah) is 5 May 2028 (Friday) by the tabular calendar. Both may shift by ±1 day with the moon sighting.
What Hijri year is 2028?
Most of 2028 lies within 1450 AH, which runs from 25 May 2028 to 14 May 2029. Because the Hijri year is about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian year, a single Gregorian year always overlaps two Hijri years.
Are these 2028 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.
