About the Islamic Calendar in 2029
The Islamic Hijri calendar is a purely lunar system of twelve months totaling approximately 354 days, meaning that Islamic observances drift forward through the Gregorian seasons by roughly eleven days each year. 2029 therefore overlaps Hijri years 1450 AH and 1451 AH. Each observance below carries its precise Hijri date label; the exact Gregorian date depends on the moon-sighting committee of each country and may shift by ±1 day from the table above. Saudi Arabia and most Sunni-majority nations align with the Umm al-Qura calculation. Iran, Iraq, and most Shia-majority communities follow the Ja'fari calculation, which often produces dates one day later. South Asian Muslim communities frequently observe the festival on the day after Saudi Arabia. For pilgrimage, fasting, or community planning, always cross-reference with your local mosque's announced calendar in the days leading up to the observance.
