About the Islamic calendar in 2038
The Gregorian year 2038 overlaps 1459–1460 AH, with 1460 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 2038?
On the tabular Islamic calendar, Ramadan begins 30 September 2038 (Thursday; 1 Ramaḍān 1460 AH). The dedicated Ramadan page also includes any period crossing into or out of 2038. The actual first day of fasting depends on the local moon sighting and may differ by about a day.
When is Eid in 2038?
Eid al-Fiṭr (1 Shawwāl) is 30 October 2038 (Saturday; 1 Shawwāl 1460 AH); Eid al-Aḍḥā (10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah) is 17 January 2038 (Sunday; 10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 1459 AH) by the tabular calendar. These dates may shift by ±1 day with the moon sighting.
What Hijri year is 2038?
2038 overlaps 1459–1460 AH; most of the Gregorian year lies within 1460 AH, which runs from 6 February 2038 to 25 January 2039. Because the Hijri year is about eleven days shorter, one Gregorian year overlaps two Hijri years.
Are these 2038 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.
