Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre Launches New Interactive Hijri Calendar
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre has officially unveiled a new interactive Hijri calendar on its website, designed to serve as a comprehensive digital resource for the public. As the primary authority responsible for determining prayer times and tracking the lunar months in the UAE, the centre has created this platform to offer seamless access to both Hijri and Gregorian dates. Users can now easily stay informed about prayer schedules, significant religious observances, and both national and international events from anywhere in the world.
Beyond simple scheduling, the platform acts as a bridge to Emirati heritage by offering a wealth of cultural and astronomical information. Visitors can explore detailed insights into the lunar cycle, seasonal changes, and celestial events that have historically shaped local traditions. This initiative is further bolstered by the "UAE Hijri Calendar" mobile app and specialized publications like "Al Durur wa Al Tawali," which document essential knowledge regarding tides, constellations, and the environmental wisdom passed down through generations. These resources are now conveniently accessible online or in physical format at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Library.
