How is the date of Islamic New Year set?
The Islamic New Year is 1 Muharram, the first day of the Hijri calendar, and follows the sighting of the new moon.
The Islamic New Year (رأس السنة الهجرية) marks the start of the Hijri year, which counts from the Prophet Muhammad's migration from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. It is a public holiday in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and many other countries.
Because the Islamic year is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, the date moves earlier each year.
