2 Jumada al-Thani 1448 AH

It is shown at the top of this page, from the Hijri calendar Paigham uses for India. India usually begins each Islamic month one day after Saudi Arabia, because the crescent is sighted here a day later.

At Maghrib. The Hijri date moves forward at sunset, so the evening before a date already belongs to it. That is why Taraweeh begins on the night before the first Roza, and why Shab-e-Barat is the night before 15 Sha’ban.

Each month begins when the new crescent is sighted. Calendars work out when it should be visible, but cloud or haze can delay the sighting, and committees in different regions announce their own. Your masjid’s announcement is the one to follow.

The Umm al-Qura calendar, moved one day later for India and corrected for months that India announced differently. It is the same calendar Paigham shows, so the two always agree.
