What is the Umm al-Qura calendar?
Umm al-Qura is Saudi Arabia’s official Hijri calendar. It’s calculated astronomically in advance, which is why government bodies, contracts and transactions rely on it. This tool uses the Umm al-Qura data built into your browser.
The start of religious months such as Ramadan, Shawwal and Dhu al-Hijjah is usually announced based on moon sighting and can differ by a day from the calculated calendar — rely on official announcements for religious occasions.
