Today Islamic Calendar 2026 Pakistan Date is shown below. This calendar uses the Umm al-Qura (civil) calculation for Hijri dates with Asia/Karachi timezone.
The Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri, Lunar Hijri, Muslim, or Arabic calendar, is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 lunar months in a year of 354 or 355 days. It is used to determine the proper days of Islamic holidays and rituals, such as the annual period of fasting (Ramadan) and the proper time for the Hajj to Mecca.
In Pakistan, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is responsible for the official announcement of moon sightings for the Islamic months. While our calendar uses the calculated Umm al-Qura system, religious dates are subject to the actual sighting of the crescent moon.
