About these holidays

Isra and Mi'raj

27 Rajab.

Commemorates the Prophet Muhammad's night journey to Jerusalem and ascent to heaven. A public holiday in Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt and several other countries.

Eid al-Fitr

1 Shawwal, the day after Ramadan ends. The date depends on a moon sighting and is often confirmed only a day or two in advance.

The festival that ends Ramadan, and the largest holiday of the year across the Muslim world. Most countries grant two to three consecutive days; Indonesia and Malaysia extend it further with collective leave. Because the date is set by moon sighting, calendars published far in advance are provisional.

Eid al-Fitr Holiday

The second and third days of Eid al-Fitr.

The additional days off that follow Eid al-Fitr itself. Most Muslim-majority countries treat Eid as a multi-day break rather than a single holiday.

Eid al-Adha

10 Dhu al-Hijjah, about seventy days after Eid al-Fitr, confirmed by moon sighting.

The Feast of Sacrifice, marking the end of the Hajj pilgrimage and commemorating Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son. Alongside Eid al-Fitr it is one of the two principal Islamic holidays, and is observed with several days off in most Muslim-majority countries.

Eid al-Adha Holiday

The days following Eid al-Adha.

The additional days off attached to Eid al-Adha, which is commonly a three- or four-day break.

Muharram

1 Muharram — the Islamic new year.

The first day of the Islamic year. A public holiday in most Muslim-majority countries, though a quiet one — it is a day of remembrance rather than celebration.

National Day

Varies by country — a founding, unification, or constitutional anniversary.

The principal patriotic holiday of a country that does not frame its national day as independence — a founding, unification, revolution or monarch's day depending on the state.

National Day Holiday

Additional days off around the national day.

Extra days attached to the national day. China's National Day break in early October is the largest example, running seven days with weekends rescheduled around it.
