Jumada al-Ula
جمادى الأولى 1448
The Islamic year follows the moon. A month starts with the new crescent and lasts 29 or 30 days, so the year is about 11 days shorter than the usual calendar, and fasts and holidays come about 11 days earlier each year.
Oct 12 – Nov 10. Dates here use the Umm al-Qura calendar.
Why your mosque's date may differ by a day
Umm al-Qura is a calculated calendar, worked out in advance. Many communities instead start a month only once the new crescent has actually been seen, locally or in another country they follow. Weather, where you are on Earth and which sighting is accepted can each move the start by a day.
An Islamic day begins at sunset, so the evening before a date already belongs to it. Nights such as those of the last ten of Ramadan start at Maghrib.
For Ramadan, Eid and other set days, follow your local mosque or community's announcement.
Arrow keys move between days. Page Up and Page Down change the month.

Source and notes
Hijri dates come from the Umm al-Qura calendar built into this browser, or the civil Islamic calendar where it isn't available. Your mosque may start a month a day earlier or later, by sighting.
Moon phases are worked out on this device from the average length of a lunar cycle, so a phase can be a day off. They are astronomy only.
The marked days and their notes come from the app's existing list. Nothing here is a ruling.
Scholarly review: open, not yet reviewed. The question still open is: Verify reward wording, exceptions and voluntary-fast labels across the calendar, including Ramadan and local moon sighting.
Scholarly review: open, not yet reviewed. The question still open is: Verify the narration, grading and conditions before presenting these dates as recommended.
