Today is Tuesday, 1 Muharram 1448 AH, which marks the Islamic New Year (Al-Hijra). Because the Islamic calendar relies on regional moon sightings, the exact date can vary by a day depending on your location:

Regional Date Variances

  • Muharram 1, 1448 AH: Observed in regions like North America, the Middle East, and parts of Europe where the new crescent moon was sighted or calculated for June 16.
  • Dhul Hijjah 29 or 30, 1447 AH: Observed in some Asian countries (such as Pakistan and parts of India) where the month of Muharram begins at sunset tonight or tomorrow.

Note: In Islamic tradition, a new day officially begins at sunset rather than midnight.
