As with all Islamic months, the precise date of the Islamic New Year is determined by the lunar sighting, and it may vary from one country to another. Islamic months are generally shorter than months in the Gregorian calendar, so the Islamic New Year date moves backwards approximately 10 to 12 days each year relative to the Gregorian calendar. Therefore, Muslims need to rely on local moon sighting authorities or follow announcements from recognized religious institutions to determine the exact date of the Islamic New Year celebration in their region.
Wishing everyone Happy Islamic New Year 2023!
