Al Hijra 2012- 1434 AH on November 15

When is 2012 Al Hijra? The Al-Hijra (Islamic New Year) 2012 is on Thursday, November 15, 2012.

The Hijri New Year, also known as Islamic new year is the day that marks the beginning of a newIslamic calendar year, and is the day on which the year count is incremented. The first day of the year is observed on the first day of Muharram, the first month in the Islamic calendar.

Since the Islamic year is eleven to twelve days shorter than the Gregorian year, the Islamic new year does not come on the same day of the Gregorian calendar every year. While some Islamic organisations prefer determining the new month (and hence the new year) by local sightings of the moon
