So, Islamic dates are known only approximately in advance any calendar may be off by a day, depending on when the new Moon is actually sighted. Sighting depends on many factors, such as how many hours old the new Moon is, where it is in the sky after sunset, and of course the weather. Each month is either 29 or 30 days long, so there are 354 or 355 days in the lunar year – shorter than solar year, which is why Islamic dates appear earlier each year compared to the Western calendar.ĭiaries or apps that give the date and time of the new Moon can’t be relied on for determining the Islamic date, because these are not based on the sighting of the new Moon. The Islamic calendar has 12 lunar months, each month beginning with the sighting of the new Moon. In winter, jama’at time is set earlier during the weekends.
