The new year is well underway, which means that everyone is thinking about the important dates in the Islamic Hijri calendar.
The year is 2022 in the Gregorian calendar, but it is 1443 / 1444 in the Hijiri calendar. But when will the major religious holidays of Ramadan, Eid, and Hajj take place this year?
Naturally, we can’t be too specific about the dates because the Islamic calendar is centered on 12 lunar months, which are determined by the moon’s spotting.
Hijri Calendar 1443 / 1444 dates
Isra Wal Miraj – 27 February 2022
Ramadan – 2 April 2022 to 1 May 2022
Lailat al-Qadr – 29 April 2022
Eid al-Fitr – 2 May 2022
Hajj – 7 July 2022 to 12 July 2022

Eid al-Adha – 9 July 2022
Islamic New Year (first day of Muharram, the start of 1444) – 30 July 2022

All of the dates listed above are dependent on the moon’s appearance.
