About the Islamic calendar in 2040
The Gregorian year 2040 overlaps 1461–1462 AH, with 1462 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 2040?
On the tabular Islamic calendar, Ramadan begins 8 September 2040 (Saturday; 1 Ramaḍān 1462 AH). The dedicated Ramadan page also includes any period crossing into or out of 2040. The actual first day of fasting depends on the local moon sighting and may differ by about a day.
When is Eid in 2040?
Eid al-Fiṭr (1 Shawwāl) is 8 October 2040 (Monday; 1 Shawwāl 1462 AH); Eid al-Aḍḥā (10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah) is 15 December 2040 (Saturday; 10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 1462 AH) by the tabular calendar. These dates may shift by ±1 day with the moon sighting.
What Hijri year is 2040?
2040 overlaps 1461–1462 AH; most of the Gregorian year lies within 1462 AH, which runs from 16 January 2040 to 3 January 2041. Because the Hijri year is about eleven days shorter, one Gregorian year overlaps two Hijri years.
Are these 2040 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.
