How the Islamic date is decided in India
The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is lunar. Each month begins when the new crescent moon (hilal) is sighted after sunset on the 29th; if it is not seen, the month completes 30 days. In India, the Ruet-e-Hilal committees and local Ulama announce the sighting, and because the moon is usually seen in India one evening after Arabia, the Indian date is often one day behind Saudi Arabia. This page shows the date followed in India and also the Saudi (Umm al-Qura) date for reference.

Frequently asked questions
What is today’s Islamic date in India?
The date shown at the top of this page is today’s Islamic date in India, updated every day. India usually follows its own moon sighting, so it can be one day behind Saudi Arabia.
Why is the Islamic date different in India and Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia follows the Umm al-Qura calendar and its own sighting, while India starts each month only after the crescent is seen locally. The moon is often visible in India a day later, so Indian dates are frequently one day behind.
When does the Islamic day begin?
The Islamic day begins at sunset (Maghrib). So the night before a date already belongs to that Hijri date – for example, the night of Shab-e-Barat is the evening before 15 Shaban.
When is Ramadan 2027 expected in India?
Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin around 9 February 2027 in India, subject to moon sighting.
