The 9th of Dhul Hijjah is the Day of Arafah — the peak of Hajj and a recommended fast for those not pilgrims.

calendar_month Why it drifts

Twelve lunar months ≈ 354 days, so Eid arrives about 11 Gregorian days earlier each year, cycling through the seasons.

Local moon sighting can move observance a day from the tabulated date; your mosque's announcement is authoritative.

The sacrifice is performed after the Eid prayer on the 10th through the 12th of Dhul Hijjah (the days of Tashreeq).

lightbulb A real example — planning around Eid 1448 AH

You need the 1448 AH dates for school holiday planning.

Result: Arafah ≈ 16 May 2027; Eid al-Adha ≈ 17 May 2027 (a Monday).

What this means: The days of Tashreeq then run 17–19 May — book any travel with the evening of the 16th free for Arafah.

Formula & methodology

Formula: Eid al-Adha = 10 Dhul Hijjah (Hijri) → tabulated Gregorian conversion; Arafah = 9 Dhul Hijjah

How the date is derived

Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, the twelfth Islamic month. The calculator uses a tabulated Umm al-Qura-style Hijri-to-Gregorian conversion (accurate for the tabulated range; actual moon sighting can shift local observance by a day).

Upcoming reference years:

  • 1447 AH — ≈ 27 May 2026
  • 1448 AH — ≈ 17 May 2027
  • 1449 AH — ≈ 5 May 2028

Because the Islamic year is ~354 days, Eid moves about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year. Always confirm with your local mosque or moon-sighting announcement.
