About the Islamic calendar in 2029
The Gregorian year 2029 overlaps two Hijri years, with 1451 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 2029?
On the tabular Islamic calendar, 1 Ramaḍān 1450 AH falls on 16 January 2029 (Tuesday) in 2029. The actual first day of fasting depends on the local moon sighting and may differ by about a day.
When is Eid in 2029?
Eid al-Fiṭr (1 Shawwāl) is 15 February 2029 (Thursday), and Eid al-Aḍḥā (10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah) is 24 April 2029 (Tuesday) by the tabular calendar. Both may shift by ±1 day with the moon sighting.
What Hijri year is 2029?
Most of 2029 lies within 1451 AH, which runs from 15 May 2029 to 3 May 2030. Because the Hijri year is about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian year, a single Gregorian year always overlaps two Hijri years.
Are these 2029 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.
