Exact dates of Islamic celebrations vary every year depending on moon sighting so the below dates aren’t necessarily 100 percent confirmed – but it's a good indication of when we can expect major events to fall.
Ramadan is expected to start at the beginning of May, with Eid Al-Fitr expected on Tuesday June 4.
Meanwhile, the date for Eid Al-Adha could indicate a three-day celebration which is estimated to begin on Monday August 12.
That means Hijri New Year's Day is likely to take place on Sunday September 1.
