Islamic dates are calculated using the tabular Hijri calendar and may be off by 1–2 days. Islamic months begin with the sighted crescent moon — actual dates vary by country and local religious authority (e.g. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Morocco often differ by a day). Hindu dates use mean lunar approximation (±1–2 days). Always confirm with your local mosque, Islamic centre, or national authority.
