About Makkah Calendar
This website wants to shed a new high-light on the Islamic Calendar. Thanks to modern astronomical methods, it is quite possible to establish, decades in advance, a projected Islamic calendar specific for each country of the world.
​
Amongst all the calendars in the world, that of Makkah is preeminent because of its impact on the life of millions of pilgrims around the world. In fact, the date of Hajj, or the great pilgrimage, depends on an accurate calendar for this holy city. Thus first of all, we set ourselves the task of developing an exact calendar for Makkah.
​
From now onwards, our site presents, month after month, not only the projected visibility curve for the crescent, but also a calendar specific to each country. Such a calendar is not an artifice for unifying the Islamic calendar through some arbitrary decision. Indeed no! In fact we are presenting a calendar both in strict conformity with the demands of the Sharia and scientifically exact. Our fervent desire in this undertaking is to submit ourselves scrupulously to the will of the Creator whilst, of course, making full use of scientific enlightenment.
