Updated 26 October 2026. Today’s Islamic (Hijri) date is shown below and updates automatically every day. The Islamic date is the same across Pakistan, in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Quetta and Bahawalpur.
Note: the date above follows the Umm al-Qura calendar. In Pakistan, the start of each Islamic month is fixed by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee after the moon is sighted, so the Pakistani date can be one day behind. For Ramadan, Eid and Muharram, follow the committee’s announcement.
Aaj Chand Ki Tareekh Kya Hai?
Aaj ki Islami tareekh oopar box mein likhi hai. Pakistan mein har shehar mein Islami tareekh aik hi hoti hai; naye maheene ka aaghaz Ruet-e-Hilal Committee chand dekh kar karti hai, is liye kabhi kabhi Saudi Arabia se aik din ka farq hota hai.

How Long Is an Islamic Month?
Each Islamic month is 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the new moon. An Islamic year has about 354 days, about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so Ramadan and Eid move about 11 days earlier each year.
