This page lists the key Islamic dates from December 2026 to August 2027 shared by Muslims worldwide. The Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, so each year these occasions arrive about 10 to 11 days earlier than the year before. The exact date depends on the sighting of the moon and can differ slightly between communities.

Al-Ayn Social Care Foundation supports orphaned children in Iraq, Afghanistan and Ghana. Our work is guided by Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani, and Al-Ayn is authorized by his office to receive religious dues including Sadaqa, Khums, Fidya and more.
For an orphaned child, the days that bring families together can also be the days they feel most alone. Watching others put on new clothes, share meals and exchange gifts can leave a child wondering where they belong. That is why these occasions matter so much to us.
During Ramadan, we make sure food baskets are delivered to orphaned children and their families, so they can observe the month with ease and comfort. Last year, thousands of baskets were delivered. In Iraq, our teams also hold special iftar gatherings within our Luminous Stars centers, where orphaned children and their families come together to break their fast as a community.
Whether it’s Eid Al-Fitr, Eid Al-Ghadeer, or Eid Al-Adha – the day of Eid should be a day of joy for every child. We ensure orphaned children under our care receive brand new clothing and Eid gifts, so they can celebrate and feel included. On Eid Al-Adha, every single family we support receives a Qurbani meat parcel.
On occasions such as Milad Al-Nabi, our teams hold special programs so children and families can take part in remembering the life and teachings of the Prophet (SAWW).
As each occasion approaches, we invite you to stay connected with us.
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on 8 February 2027, subject to moon sighting.
The 19th, 21st and 23rd nights of Laylatul Qadr are expected to fall between 25th February and 1st March 2027. Each night begins at sunset the evening before.
Eid Al-Fitr is expected to fall on 10 March 2027, depending on the sighting of the moon in your region.
The calendar follows the moon, so dates arrive about 10 to 11 days earlier each year.
Al-Ayn is authorized by His Eminence Al-Sayyid Ali Al-Sistani to receive religious dues, including: Sadaqa, Khums (both parts), Zakat, and other dues.
This authorization (Ijaza) allows Al-Ayn to receive and distribute these religious dues in accordance with the applicable Islamic guidelines, helping provide essential care and support to orphaned children and other individuals in need.
