The Muslim Festival Calendar 2026 highlights the important Islamic festivals and religious observances followed by Muslims around the world, based on the lunar Hijri calendar. Major events include Ramadan, the holy month of fasting and prayer, followed by Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of fasting with special prayers and celebrations. Another key festival is Eid al-Adha, commemorating Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion and observed with prayers and charity. Other significant days such as Islamic New Year, Ashura, Milad-un-Nabi, and Shab-e-Barat are also observed with deep spiritual significance. Since Islamic dates depend on moon sighting, festival dates may vary slightly by region, including in India.
