Danish Islamic Council & Nordic Moon Sighting

How the Islamic Calendar Operates in Denmark

At a Glance: The Denmark Calendar in 3 Key Points

Muslimsk Fællesråd Oversight: The Danish Muslim Council coordinates major mosques to ensure unified nationwide calendar declarations.
Grand Mosque of Copenhagen: Opened in 2014, the Hamad Bin Khalifa Mosque in Rovsingsgade serves as a primary center for astronomical announcements.
Northern European Astronomical Standards: Denmark relies on calculated crescent visibility models agreed upon by the European Council for Fatwa and Research.

Muslimsk Fællesråd and National Mosque Representation

The Muslimsk Fællesråd (Danish Muslim Council) unites prominent Islamic associations across Jutland, Funen, and Zealand. On the 29th of each lunar month, the council evaluates sighting reports from domestic observers as well as international astronomical bulletins to formally announce month commencements.

Copenhagen's Landmark Mosques and Calendar Coordination

Copenhagen hosts significant Islamic institutions, including the Grand Mosque of Copenhagen (Hamad Bin Khalifa Mosque, 2014) and the Imam Ali Mosque (2015). Together with the Dansk Islamisk Center, these centers provide regular moon sighting bulletins that guide prayer and fasting schedules throughout Denmark.
