Samiri Calendar 2017 to 2026 – Final New Moon Dates

Samiri Calendar (2017–2026) provides calculated final new moon dates for Islamic months, specially prepared for India. The calendar is based on astronomical principles and aims to determine the beginning of each Hijri month with clarity and consistency.

Key Features of Samiri Calendar

• Final Confirmed Dates: The calendar provides final dates to determine the first day of each Islamic month.
• Moon Visibility Confirmation: If the calendar mentions that the moon is present in the sky, it will certainly be visible (subject to clear weather conditions).
• No Visibility Means No Moon: If it clearly states that the moon will not be visible, then even with effort it cannot be seen because the lunar formation has not occurred.
• Witness Verification: If the calendar states the moon is not present in the sky, any claim of sighting should be rejected. If it confirms presence, witness testimony should be accepted.
• Uniform Observance: According to its publisher, the calendar has helped maintain one Eid and one Ramadan date across India for several years.
• Ruyat-e-Khassa (Special Visibility): In rare cases, it mentions limited probability of sighting (around 10%). During such months, slight uncertainty may occur.
• Based on General Visibility (Ruyat-e-Aamma): The calculations are prepared so that the moon can be seen easily with the naked eye, provided the horizon is clear.
• Advance Planning: Users are encouraged to obtain the calendar beforehand to determine dates in advance.

Astronomical Basis

The calendar explains scientific concepts such as geocentric conjunction, longitude and latitude, and two primary conditions for moon visibility: (1) conjunction occurring before sunset, and (2) the moon setting after the sun. If these conditions are not fulfilled, the lunar month completes 30 days.

The Samiri Calendar serves as a structured attempt to align religious observance with astronomical calculation for consistency in Islamic months.
