Next year, on March 21, the Muslim holiday of Orozo Ait may fall on the same day as Nooruz.
The Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan has published a new calendar of religious events for 2026. According to this calendar, the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan (Orozo Ayi) is scheduled for February 19, and Kadir Tun (the Night of Destiny) will be celebrated on the night of March 16-17. Orozo Ait will take place on March 20.
Kurban Ait in 2026 is planned for the period from May 27 to 29.
The Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan noted that the dates corresponding to the Hijra are determined based on calculations from international astronomical centers.
It should be noted that experts in the field of fatwas warn of the possibility of shifting the dates of religious holidays by one day depending on the actual observation of new moons.
There is no similar calendar for 2026 available to the public on the website of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kyrgyzstan. The official dates of religious holidays in this country have not yet been published.
