ذو القعدة
Dhu al-Qaʿdah 1448 AH
One of the four sacred months, between the two feasts, with no holy day in either branch’s year.
Begins on Thursday 8 April 2027 and runs 29 days, to Thursday 6 May 2027.
Projected from the Umm al-Qura calendar, as ActivePray reckons it. A Hijri month truly begins when the new crescent is seen, so it can open a day either side of this. Like every day of the Hijri year, each day begins at sunset the evening before.
No holy day
Neither branch’s year keeps a holy day in Dhu al-Qaʿdah: a month of ordinary weeks and Friday prayer.
The White Days
Three days of recommended fasting each lunar month, the Ayyām al-Bīḍ, when the moon is full. In Dhu al-Qaʿdah 1448: Tuesday 20 April 2027, Wednesday 21 April 2027 and Thursday 22 April 2027.
In ActivePray, the Hijri date stands at the top of every day, with each prayer at its hour and the holy days and fasts of the year, in Sunni and in Twelver Shia practice.
