The first day of the Islamic Year is observed on the first day of Muharram by most Muslims. This is expected to be marked on July 29 this year. The reference date of the Islamic era was set as the year of the emigration of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hijrah, which equates to 622 CE in the Gregorian calendar. This is the reason that this day is also referred to as Hijri New Year. The celebration of the Islamic New Year is important since it also helps determine the date of celebration of all the important observances and festivals in Islam, including fasting, a celebration of Ramadaan, Eids, etc. Muharram 2022 Date: When Is Islamic New Year Starting In KSA, Iran, India and Pakistan?

Since a year in the Islamic Calendar is often 11 to 12 days short of the Gregorian calendar, the date of the Islamic New Year celebration continues to change every year. While some Islamic organizations prefer determining the new month (and hence the new year) by local sightings of the moon, most Islamic institutions and countries, including Saudi Arabia, follow astronomical calculations to determine future dates of the Islamic calendar.
