The Islamic lunar calendar, known as the 1444 Hijrah calendar, serves as the basis for determining the date of Eid’l Adha. The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos utilized this calendar to recommend June 28, 2023, as the designated national holiday.
By following this lunar calendar, the Filipino Muslim community can synchronize their celebrations with Muslims around the world.
