رجب
Rajab 1449 AH
One of the four sacred months. The night of Isra’ and Miʿraj, the Night Journey, falls on its twenty-seventh.
Begins on Monday 29 November 2027 and runs 30 days, to Tuesday 28 December 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.
