How Many Days Until the Islamic New Year 2027?

When is the Islamic New Year 2027?

The Islamic New Year 2027 is on Sunday, June 6, 2027. It falls on 1 Muharram in the Islamic calendar. That calendar follows the moon and runs about 11 days shorter than the solar year, so the date comes earlier each year. The 2028 date is Thursday, May 25. It's also called Hijri New Year.

Date may vary. Dates use the tabular Islamic calendar. The actual date depends on the sighting of the new moon and on each country's announcement, and can differ by one or two days.

About the Islamic New Year

Albino buffalo lead the way through Surakarta on the night of 1 Suro, the Javanese new year that lines up with 1 Muharram. Behind them, servants of the Kasunanan palace carry its sacred heirlooms, and the herd takes its name, kebo bule Kyai Slamet, from one of those heirlooms. Local tradition says the animals descend from a gift to King Paku Buwono II, and crowds stay out until the early hours to watch.

The abbreviation AH, used for Hijri years, stands for the Latin Anno Hegirae, "in the year of the Hijra." In Mecca the start of that year now brings a ceremony that used to belong to the Hajj. Since 1444 AH, in 2022, the Kaaba's black and gold kiswa has been replaced overnight going into 1 Muharram, instead of on the Day of Arafah. In Malaysia, the national Maal Hijrah celebration presents the Tokoh Maal Hijrah award, usually handed over by the king.

About this count

Each midnight takes one off the 231. Today is left out and June 6 itself is counted, so on Saturday, June 5 the page will show 1 day to go. US clocks go back on Sunday, November 1 and forward again on Sunday, March 14, 2027, which changes the hours but not the number of days.

In Excel or Google Sheets, =DATE(2027,6,6)-TODAY() gives the same 231 today; add 1 to count today as well.

This countdown to the Islamic New Year 2027 was worked out on Sunday, October 18, 2026 (US Eastern time), and your browser recounts it from your own date when the page opens.
