Sighting Convention & Astronomical Projections
Calculated Islamic calendars provide dependable astronomical estimates based on the Umm al-Qura standard. However, actual religious dates (particularly the start of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha) depend upon confirmed local crescent sightings (Ru'yat al-Hilal) by regional religious authorities.
SalahLive integrates regional overrides to reflect authentic local moon-sighting announcements as confirmed by authorized committees.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Islamic Hijri calendar calculate dates?
The Islamic calendar is a strictly lunar calendar composed of 12 lunar months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Each month begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon (Hilal). Calculations on SalahLive follow the astronomical Umm al-Qura standard, with local adjustments supported for regional moon-sighting authorities.
When does an Islamic day start and end?
In Islamic tradition, the new day begins at Maghrib (sunset), rather than at midnight. When the sun sets, the date rolls over to the next Islamic day.
Why do Islamic dates occasionally vary by one day between countries?
Because the Islamic calendar relies on the physical or astronomical visibility of the crescent moon, geographical differences, cloud coverage, and differing local sighting criteria can lead to a 1-day variance between different regions.
What are the major Islamic holidays in 1468 AH?
Key dates in 1468 AH include 1st Ramadan (beginning of fasting), Laylat al-Qadr (27th Ramadan), Eid al-Fitr (1st Shawwal), the Day of Arafah (9th Dhu al-Hijjah), and Eid al-Adha (10th Dhu al-Hijjah).
