Safar 1450 AH
The second month. In Twelver Shia practice Arbaeen, the fortieth day after Ashura, falls on its twentieth.
Begins on Saturday 24 June 2028 and runs 29 days, to Saturday 22 July 2028.
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.
Its holy days
As each branch keeps them, from ActivePray’s calendars.
