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.

أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَنْ تُتْرَكُوا وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا مِنْكُمْ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلَا رَسُولِهِ وَلَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلِيجَةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ 16 مَا كَانَ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ يَعْمُرُوا مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ شَاهِدِينَ عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِالْكُفْرِ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ وَفِي النَّارِ هُمْ خَالِدُونَ 17 إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَى الزَّكَاةَ وَلَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ ۖ فَعَسَىٰ أُولَٰئِكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ 18 أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَجَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ لَا يَسْتَوُونَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ 19 الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَهَاجَرُوا وَجَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ۚ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ 20
Do you think that God will not make any distinction between those of you who have fought for His cause and have relied on no one other than God, His Messenger, and the faithful ones, and other people? God is Well Aware of what you do. 16 The pagans do not have any right to establish (and patronize) the mosque of God while they testify against their souls to its disbelief. Their deeds are devoid of all virtue and they will live forever in hell fire. 17 Only those who believe in God, the Day of Judgment, perform their prayers, pay the religious tax, and have fear of God alone have the right to establish and patronize the mosque of God so that perhaps they will have the right guidance. 18 Do you (pagans), because you served water to the pilgrims and constructed the Sacred Mosque, consider yourselves equal to those who have believed in God, the Day of Judgment, and have fought for the cause of God? In the sight of God you (pagans) are not equal to the believers. God does not guide the unjust. 19 To those who have believed in God, left their homes, and fought for His cause with their possessions and in person, God will grant high ranks and success. 20
کیا تم لوگ یہ خیال کرتے ہو کہ (بےآزمائش) چھوڑ دیئے جاؤ گے اور ابھی خدا نے ایسے لوگوں کو متمیز کیا ہی نہیں جنہوں نے تم میں سے جہاد کئے اور خدا اور اس کے رسول اور مومنوں کے سوا کسی کو دلی دوست نہیں بنایا۔ اور خدا تمہارے سب کاموں سے واقف ہے 16 مشرکوں کی زیبا نہیں کہ خدا کی مسجدوں کو آباد کریں جب کہ وہ اپنے آپ پر کفر کی گواہی دے رہے ہیں۔ ان لوگوں کے سب اعمال بےکار ہیں اور یہ ہمیشہ دوزخ میں رہیں گے 17 خدا کی مسجدوں کو تو وہ لوگ آباد کرتے ہیں جو خدا پر اور روز قیامت پر ایمان لاتے ہیں اور نماز پڑھتے اور زکواة دیتے ہیں اور خدا کے سوا کسی سے نہیں ڈرتے۔ یہی لوگ امید ہے کہ ہدایت یافتہ لوگوں میں (داخل) ہوں 18 کیا تم نے حاجیوں کو پانی پلانا اور مسجد محترم یعنی (خانہٴ کعبہ) کو آباد کرنا اس شخص کے اعمال جیسا خیال کیا ہے جو خدا اور روز آخرت پر ایمان رکھتا ہے اور خدا کی راہ میں جہاد کرتا ہے۔ یہ لوگ خدا کے نزدیک برابر نہیں ہیں۔ اور خدا ظالم لوگوں کو ہدایت نہیں دیا کرتا 19 جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور وطن چھوڑ گئے اور خدا کی راہ میں مال اور جان سے جہاد کرتے رہے۔ خدا کے ہاں ان کے درجے بہت بڑے ہیں۔ اور وہی مراد کو پہنچنے والے ہیں 20

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.
