the Islamic (Hijri) calendar spans two Hijri years - 1445 AH and 1446 AH - because the Hijri calendar is lunar and shorter than the Gregorian calendar by about 10 to 11 days... the year begins in Jumada al‑Akhirah and Rajab (1445 AH), followed by Sha‘ban and Ramadhan, with Ramadhan beginning around 10 March... this is followed by Shawwal (Eid al‑Fitr in April), then Dhu al‑Qa‘dah and Dhu al‑Hijjah, with Eid al‑Adha occurring in mid‑June... in July, the Islamic New Year begins with 1 Muharram 1446 AH, after which the months continue through Safar, Rabi‘ al‑Awwal, Rabi‘ ath‑Thani, and by the end of the year reach Jumada al‑Awwal and Jumada al‑Akhirah (1446 AH) in December... all Islamic dates remain subject to local moon sighting and may vary slightly by location...
