Dates some communities commemorate

Shown as history, not as observances. Scholars differ on marking them, so Barakah Life attaches no reminders or greeting cards to them.

How we calculate these dates

Dates above use the Umm al-Qurā Hijri calendar of Saudi Arabia, the calendar behind the official announcements of the Two Holy Mosques. Local moon-sighting announcements may shift a date by ±1 day depending on your region; the Barakah Life app follows your country's usual offset and lets you adjust it. For Ramadan and Eid in particular, always confirm with your local masjid the day before.
