Hijri Calendar
1445/1446
Muslims around the world use the Islamic
Calendar (also known as the Lunar or Hijri
calendar) to determine the dates of
religious events and observances. This Hijri
calendar is based on 12 lunar months – a
new month begins when a new moon is
sighted.

**Although it is a commonly held belief that

Laylatul Qadr occurs on the 27th of
Ramadan. Scholars of Hadith recommend
focusing on the last 10 nights of Ramadan,
especially the odd nights, as it is most likely
to have occurred in one of these odd nights
based on a Hadith.
