emirates7 - Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre has launched the new edition of the “UAE Hijri Calendar” for the year 1448 AH, coinciding with the beginning of the new Hijri year. This continues the Centre’s role in preparing and issuing the UAE Hijri Calendar, determining prayer times across the various emirates and regions of the country, and identifying the beginnings of the Hijri months.
On this occasion, the Centre expressed its wishes for the new Hijri year to be one of security, stability, and prosperity, while recalling the values and meanings embodied in the noble Prophetic Hijrah, including faith, determination, and nation-building.
The Centre continues to issue the UAE Hijri Calendar based on accumulated expertise in this field, as well as on religious, astronomical, and scientific foundations developed in cooperation with specialised committees and entities. This ensures accuracy in determining the beginnings of Hijri months and prayer times in the UAE, in accordance with the geographical characteristics of each city, its location, and its respective longitude and latitude.
The issuance of the calendar comes as part of the Centre’s efforts to promote awareness of the Hijri calendar and strengthen society’s connection to its religious and cultural heritage. The Hijri calendar represents an important element in the practice of rituals and acts of worship linked to specific times. It is also connected to aspects of cultural and heritage memory in the UAE, including knowledge associated with Deerat Al-Duroor, lunar mansions, and seasons.

The edition also features information on the most prominent monthly astronomical events, tidal movements, and knowledge-based and heritage content that meets the needs of community members and those interested in this field.
