How the Islamic Calendar Operates in Tajikistan

The Republic of Tajikistan, home to a proud Persian-Islamic scholarly tradition, manages its Islamic calendar through the **Council of Ulema of the Islamic Center of Tajikistan** (Шӯрои уламои Маркази исломии Тоҷикистон) in Dushanbe.

At a Glance: The Tajikistan Calendar in 3 Key Points

Council of Ulema Authority: Issues official fatwas declaring the dates of Ramadan, Idi Ramazon (Eid al-Fitr), and Idi Qurbon (Eid al-Adha).
Astronomical Coordination: Partners with the Institute of Astrophysics of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan.
Pamir and Valley Uniformity: The official calendar applies across the western valleys, Khatlon, Sughd, and the high Pamir plateau of Badakhshan.

The Council of Ulema Assembly

Convening at the magnificent Central Grand Mosque in Dushanbe, the Council of Ulema evaluates lunar coordinates and sighting reports alongside state religious affairs officials.

High-Altitude Sighting Realities

Because over 90% of Tajikistan is mountainous, the Council relies on precise astronomical data from the Hissar Astronomical Observatory to determine crescent conjunction and altitude.

Day Transition Dynamics

The civil calendar updates at 12:00 AM midnight Tajikistan Time (TJT / Asia/Dushanbe, UTC+5), while the spiritual day begins at Maghrib sunset.
