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.

Significance of Ramadan

  • For Muslims worldwide, Ramadan holds profound significance as a time for spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and community solidarity.
  • Lasting either 29 or 30 days, it commemorates the first revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
  • Observing Ramadan involves fasting from dawn (imsak time) until dusk (iftar time), abstaining from food, drink, smoking, and marital intimacy.
  • More than just physical abstinence, Ramadan fosters empathy for the less fortunate by promoting acts of charity and compassion (Zakat and Sadaqah).
  • The holy month also encourages increased prayers, seeking forgiveness, and deepening one's connection with Allah (SWT).
  • Ultimately, Ramadan embodies a period of purification, renewal, and heightened devotion, strengthening the bonds of faith and unity among Muslims across the globe.

وَمِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ 159 وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًا ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ إِذِ اسْتَسْقَاهُ قَوْمُهُ أَنِ اضْرِبْ بِعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ ۖ فَانْبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَشْرَبَهُمْ ۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْغَمَامَ وَأَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوَىٰ ۖ كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَٰكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ 160 وَإِذْ قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْكُنُوا هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةَ وَكُلُوا مِنْهَا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمْ وَقُولُوا حِطَّةٌ وَادْخُلُوا الْبَابَ سُجَّدًا نَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطِيئَاتِكُمْ ۚ سَنَزِيدُ الْمُحْسِنِينَ 161 فَبَدَّلَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْهُمْ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِجْزًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَظْلِمُونَ 162 وَاسْأَلْهُمْ عَنِ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ حَاضِرَةَ الْبَحْرِ إِذْ يَعْدُونَ فِي السَّبْتِ إِذْ تَأْتِيهِمْ حِيتَانُهُمْ يَوْمَ سَبْتِهِمْ شُرَّعًا وَيَوْمَ لَا يَسْبِتُونَ ۙ لَا تَأْتِيهِمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَبْلُوهُمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْسُقُونَ 163
Among the people of Moses are some whose guidance and Judgment are based on the Truth. 159 We divided the descendants of Israel into twelve tribes and told Moses to strike the rock with his staff to let twelve fountains gush out therefrom; his people had asked him to supply them with water. The twelve flowing springs were divided among them (a spring for each tribe) and each tribe knew its drinking place well. We provided them with shade from the clouds, sent down manna and quails to them for food, and told them to eat the pure things which We had given them. They did not do injustice to Us but they wronged themselves. 160 When they were told, "Settle down in this town, eat as you wish, seek forgiveness and enter the gate prostrating yourselves (in obedience to the Lord) and We will forgive you your sins and increase the reward of the righteous people, 161 the unjust among them changed the words which they were told to say (in the prayer). Therefore, We sent upon them torment from the sky for their wrong deeds. 162 (Muhammad), ask them about the (people of the) towns on the seashore. They had transgressed by catching fish on the Sabbath. Each Sabbath the fish came openly within their reach but not so on other days. Thus, We were testing them because of their evil deeds. 163
اور قوم موسیٰ میں کچھ لوگ ایسے بھی ہیں جو حق کا راستہ بتاتے اور اسی کے ساتھ انصاف کرتے ہیں 159 اور ہم نے ان کو (یعنی بنی اسرائیل کو) الگ الگ کرکے بارہ قبیلے (اور) بڑی بڑی جماعتیں بنا دیا۔ اور جب موسیٰ سے ان کی قوم نے پانی طلب کیا تو ہم نے ان کی طرف وحی بھیجی کہ اپنی لاٹھی پتھر پر مار دو۔ تو اس میں سے بارہ چشمے پھوٹ نکلے۔ اور سب لوگوں نے اپنا اپنا گھاٹ معلوم کرلیا۔ اور ہم نے ان (کے سروں) پر بادل کو سائبان بنائے رکھا اور ان پر من وسلویٰ اتارتے رہے۔ اور (ان سے کہا کہ) جو پاکیزہ چیزیں ہم تمہیں دیتے ہیں انہیں کھاؤ۔ اور ان لوگوں نے ہمارا کچھ نقصان نہیں کیا بلکہ (جو) نقصان کیا اپنا ہی کیا 160 اور (یاد کرو) جب ان سے کہا گیا کہ اس شہر میں سکونت اختیار کرلو اور اس میں جہاں سے جی چاہے کھانا (پینا) اور (ہاں شہر میں جانا تو) حِطّتہٌ کہنا اور دروازے میں داخل ہونا تو سجدہ کرنا۔ ہم تمہارے گناہ معاف کردیں گے۔ اور نیکی کرنے والوں کو اور زیادہ دیں گے 161 مگر جو ان میں ظالم تھے انہوں نے اس لفظ کو جس کا ان کو حکم دیا گیا تھا بدل کر اس کی جگہ اور لفظ کہنا شروع کیا تو ہم نے ان پر آسمان سے عذاب بھیجا اس لیے کہ ظلم کرتے تھے 162 اور ان سے اس گاؤں کا حال تو پوچھو جب لب دریا واقع تھا۔ جب یہ لوگ ہفتے کے دن کے بارے میں حد سے تجاوز کرنے لگے (یعنی) اس وقت کہ ان کے ہفتے کے دن مچھلیاں ان کے سامنے پانی کے اوپر آتیں اور جب ہفتے کا دن نہ ہوتا تو نہ آتیں۔ اسی طرح ہم ان لوگوں کو ان کی نافرمانیوں کے سبب آزمائش میں ڈالنے لگے 163

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.

Muslim Praying

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.

Holy Kaaba in Mecca

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.
