What is the Umm al-Qura calendar?

Umm al-Qura is Saudi Arabia's official Hijri calendar, computed by King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology. A month starts astronomically for Makkah: if the conjunction (new moon) happens before sunset on the 29th and the moon sets after the sun, the next day is the first of the new month; otherwise the month runs to 30 days.

It is used for official documents and daily life, while the starts of Ramadan and the two Eids are announced by the Supreme Court after the sighting.

The Hijri calendar in brief

  • It counts from the Prophet's migration (Hijrah) from Makkah to Madinah in 622 CE; Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab adopted it with Muharram as the first month.
  • A month has 29 or 30 days; a year has 354 or 355 days, about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year.
  • Ramadan and Hajj therefore move about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year and cycle through all seasons in roughly 33 years.
  • In Islamic practice the day starts at sunset; printed calendars and computer systems change the date at midnight.
