Hijri Calendar

The Hijri Calendar, also known as the Islamic or Lunar Calendar, is used by Muslims worldwide to determine religious observances and important dates. Based on the lunar cycle, it consists of 12 months totalling 354 or 355 days, making it approximately 11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar each year. The calendar marks its starting point from the Hijra — the migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE.

Random Quranic Verse(s)

وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمَانِكُمْ كُفَّارًا حَسَدًا مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّ ۖ فَاعْفُوا وَاصْفَحُوا حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ 109 وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ 110 وَقَالُوا لَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ هُودًا أَوْ نَصَارَىٰ ۗ تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ ۗ قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ 111
Once you have accepted the faith, many of the People of the Book would love, out of envy, to turn you back to disbelief, even after the Truth has become evident to them. Have forgiveness and bear with them until God issues His order. God has power over all things. 109 Be steadfast in your prayer and pay the religious tax. You will receive a good reward from God for all your good works. God is Well-aware of what you do. 110 They have said that no one can ever go to Paradise except the Jews or Christians, but this is only what they hope. Ask them to prove that their claim is true. 111
بہت سے اہل کتاب اپنے دل کی جلن سے یہ چاہتے ہیں کہ ایمان لا چکنے کے بعد تم کو پھر کافر بنا دیں۔ حالانکہ ان پر حق ظاہر ہو چکا ہے۔ تو تم معاف کردو اور درگزر کرو۔ یہاں تک کہ خدا اپنا (دوسرا) حکم بھیجے۔ بے شک خدا ہر بات پر قادر ہے 109 اور نماز ادا کرتے رہو اور زکوٰة دیتے رہو۔ اور جو بھلائی اپنے لیے آگے بھیج رکھو گے، اس کو خدا کے ہاں پا لو گے۔ کچھ شک نہیں کہ خدا تمہارے سب کاموں کو دیکھ رہا ہے 110 اور (یہودی اور عیسائی) کہتے ہیں کہ یہودیوں اور عیسائیوں کے سوا کوئی بہشت میں نہیں جانے کا۔ یہ ان لوگوں کے خیالاتِ باطل ہیں۔ (اے پیغمبر ان سے) کہہ دو کہ اگر سچے ہو تو دلیل پیش کرو 111

What are Muslim prayers?

Muslim prayers, known as Salah or Salat, are a fundamental part of the Islamic faith. Performed five times daily, they serve as a direct connection between the worshipper and Allah (God). Salah is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is considered both an obligation and a spiritual anchor in a Muslim's daily life.

Why do prayer times change?

Each of the five daily prayers is tied to a specific position of the sun, which is why prayer times shift slightly from day to day and vary by location. All prayers are performed facing the Qibla — the direction of the Holy Kaaba in Mecca, the most sacred site in Islam.

Are prayers obligatory?

Yes. Every sane, adult Muslim is required to perform five obligatory (Fard) prayers each day:

  • Fajr The pre-dawn prayer, performed before sunrise.
  • Dhuhr The midday prayer, performed after the sun passes its highest point.
  • Asr The afternoon prayer, performed in the late afternoon.
  • Maghrib The evening prayer, performed just after sunset.
  • Isha The night prayer, performed after twilight has disappeared.

What is the difference between Azaan and Iqamah?

The Azaan is the call to prayer that announces the time for a specific prayer and invites Muslims to the mosque. The Iqamah is a shorter call given just before the congregational prayer begins. The timings shown on this page are for Azaan. There is typically a 15–20 minute gap between Azaan and Iqamah, though this can be as short as 5 minutes for Maghrib and up to 25 minutes for Fajr. It is best practice to wrap up your activities and begin preparing for prayer before the Azaan sounds.

What are Rak'ahs in prayer?

A Rak'ah (plural: Rak'at) is a single unit of prayer consisting of a set sequence of standing, bowing, prostrating, and sitting, accompanied by Quranic recitations and supplications. Multiple Rak'ahs make up each prayer.

The number of Fard (obligatory) Rak'ahs in each prayer is: Fajr — 2, Dhuhr — 4, Asr — 4, Maghrib — 3, and Isha — 4. These counts are established by the practice of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Islamic jurisprudence.

How to complete the prayer if I missed Rak'ahs in Jama'at?

For example, if you have missed 3 Rak'ahs of Isha and joined the Imam in the fourth Rak'ah (you must join before or while the Imam is still in Ruku), here is what to do: Form the intention (Niyyah) in your heart, then say Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) to enter the prayer. Stand briefly in Qiyam even if the Imam has already moved on, then follow him. After the Imam gives Salam, stand up without giving Salam yourself. Since you have completed one Rak'ah with the Imam, treat it as your first. Pray your second Rak'ah and sit for Tashahhud. Then stand and pray two more Rak'ahs, and sit for the final Tashahhud and Salam.
