Saudi Arabia vs Pakistan — Islamic Date Comparison

Country Islamic Date Calendar Method Hijri Year
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia 11 Rabi‘ al-akhir Umm al-Qura (Calculated) 1448 AH
🇵🇰 Pakistan 11 Rabi‘ al-akhir Local Moon Sighting 1448 AH
🇦🇪 UAE 11 Rabi‘ al-akhir Follows Saudi/Calculated 1448 AH

🕋 The Umm al-Qura Calendar — Saudi Arabia's Official Calendar

The Umm al-Qura calendar (Arabic: أم القرى) is the official Islamic calendar used in Saudi Arabia. It is based on astronomical calculations rather than physical moon sighting. The King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) in Riyadh prepares the calendar using precise astronomical data.

Unlike Pakistan's traditional moon sighting method, the Umm al-Qura calendar can predict Islamic dates years in advance. This calendar determines the start of all Islamic months, including Ramadan, Shawwal, and Dhu al-Hijjah. Most Gulf countries (UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain) also follow this calculated method.

Today's Saudi Arabia Islamic date: 11 Rabi‘ al-akhir 1448 AH

🌙 Makkah Moon Sighting Tradition

Historically, the new Islamic month begins when the crescent moon (hilal) is first sighted after sunset in Makkah al-Mukarramah. The Hilal Committee in Saudi Arabia was responsible for physical moon sighting before the Umm al-Qura astronomical method became standard.

The Islamic date today in Saudi Arabia is considered the "base date" by many Muslim-majority countries. Countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) — UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman — generally follow Saudi Arabia's Islamic dates. However, some countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India maintain their own independent moon sighting committees.
