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.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ طس ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْقُرْآنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ 1 هُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 2 الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ بِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ 3 إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُونَ 4 أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ الْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ هُمُ الْأَخْسَرُونَ 5
Ta. Sin. These are the verses of the Quran and of the illustrious Book 1 They are glad news and guidance for the believers 2 who are steadfast in prayer, who pay the religious tax, and who have strong faith in the life hereafter. 3 We have made the deeds of those who do not believe in the life to come, attractive to them and they wander about blindly. 4 They will suffer the worst kind of torment and will be lost in the life to come. 5
ٰطٰسٓ۔ یہ قرآن اور روشن کتاب کی آیتیں ہیں 1 مومنوں کے لئے ہدایت اور بشارت 2 وہ جو نماز پڑھتے اور زکوٰة دیتے اور آخرت کا یقین رکھتے ہیں 3 جو لوگ آخرت پر ایمان نہیں رکھتے ہیں ہم نے ان کے اعمال ان کے لئے آرستہ کردیئے ہیں تو وہ سرگرداں ہو رہے ہیں 4 یہی لوگ ہیں جن کے لئے بڑا عذاب ہے اور وہ آخرت میں بھی وہ بہت نقصان اٹھانے والے ہیں 5

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.
