10 Dhul-Hijjah 1450

Eid al-Adha

The Festival of Sacrifice, 10 Dhul-Hijjah. It remembers Ibrahim’s willingness to offer his son, and the ram that stood in. Those who can, offer an animal (qurbani) and share the meat: family, neighbours, people in need. It falls as Hajj ends in Mina.

How it is kept

Pray Eid, then the sacrifice if you are doing one. The date follows the Dhul-Hijjah hilal. If the mosque board differs from this page, the mosque wins.

The Islamic Calendar (Arabic Calendar)

The Hijri calendar: a lunar system

The Islamic calendar (Hijri, Arabic lunar calendar) follows the moon; the Gregorian year follows the sun. It starts from the Hijrah. A month opens when the new crescent is sighted. Dates on this 2029 grid are estimates — moon sighting can move a day.

Structure and months

Twelve months, about 354–355 days: Muharram, Safar, Rabiʿ al-awwal, Rabiʿ al-thani, Jumada al-ula, Jumada al-akhirah, Rajab, Shaʿban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhul-Qaʿdah, Dhul-Hijjah. Namaz Buddy puts Gregorian and Hijri on the same cell. The converter uses that engine.

Sacred months

Four months are sacred: Dhul-Qaʿdah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram in a row, then Rajab. They are named in Bukhari (3197). The old rule was to halt war; today they are still marked for worship and travel.

Important days and Turkey

2029 Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and the sacred nights have Turkey pages here. Calculation is Umm al-Qura. Diyanet and your mosque confirm the hilal. Adhan and fasting streaks live in the Namaz Buddy app.
