What is the Shia Islamic Calendar?

The Shia Islamic Calendar is a lunar-based religious calendar used by Shia Muslims to determine the dates of religious observances, commemorations, and celebrations. It follows the Hijri calendar system, which began with the Prophet Muhammad's migration (Hijra) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE.

Unlike the Gregorian solar calendar, the Islamic lunar calendar has 354 or 355 days, making Islamic dates shift approximately 11 days earlier each Gregorian year. ShiaCal provides both Hijri and Gregorian dates for each event to help you plan and observe these important occasions.
