Time of Indiaa day ago

Actual dates for Islamic events will be confirmed based on official moon sightings in the UAE/(Representational Image)
As UAE residents return from the recent Eid Al Adha long weekend, attention is already turning toward the next set of significant Islamic dates and holidays in 2026 (1447 AH). The UAE's Astronomy Centre has now released its projected calendar for the upcoming Hijri year, offering a preview of when Muslims in the country, and across the region, can expect to observe key religious events.
It's important to note that these dates are based on astronomical calculations and remain subject to official moon sightings and government announcements, which will confirm the exact timing of public holidays.
Hijri New Year (1 Muharram 1447 AH)
Expected Date: Thursday, June 26, 2025
The Islamic New Year is set to begin on Thursday, June 26, 2025, with the Moon sighting for the month of Muharram expected on the evening of Wednesday, June 25, corresponding to Dhul Hijjah 29, 1446 AH.
As per the UAE's official public holiday calendar, residents can expect a public holiday on this occasion, marking the start of the new Hijri year 1447 AH.
Ramadan 2026 (1 Ramadan 1447 AH)
Expected Start: Wednesday, February 18, 2026 (Western regions)
Thursday, February 19, 2026 (Eastern regions)
In a welcomed shift, Ramadan 2026 is likely to fall in the cooler month of February, a departure from this year's early March schedule. This year, Ramadan began on Saturday, March 1, 2025, but due to the Islamic lunar calendar moving 10 to 12 days earlier each year, next year's fasting month is expected to begin on:
Tuesday, February 17, 2026 (moon sighting)
Wednesday, February 18, 2026 (start of Ramadan in western regions like UAE)
Thursday, February 19, 2026 (start in eastern regions)
As always, actual dates may differ depending on regional moon sightings.

The holy month, which spans 29 or 30 days, is observed with fasting from dawn to dusk and is a time marked by charity, prayer, and community across the Muslim world.
Eid Al Fitr 2026
(1 Shawwal 1447 AH)
Expected Date: Friday, March 20, 2026
Eid Al Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and is determined by the sighting of the Shawwal crescent. Based on current projections, the moon is expected to be sighted on Thursday, March 19, 2026, which would place Eid Al Fitr on Friday, March 20, 2026.
As with Ramadan, the exact timing of Eid celebrations can vary depending on geographic location:
Western regions, including the UAE, are expected to mark Eid on March 20
Eastern regions may observe Eid a day later, on Saturday, March 21, 2026
The holiday is a time for communal prayers, festive meals, and charitable giving, following a month of spiritual discipline.
Eid Al Adha 2026
(10 Dhul Hijjah 1447 AH)
Expected Date: Tuesday, May 26, 2026 (UAE and western regions)
Wednesday, May 27, 2026 (Eastern regions)
The Festival of Sacrifice, or Eid Al Adha, is one of the holiest days in Islam. It commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God's command.
The day also follows the Day of Arafah (9 Dhul Hijjah), which is observed with fasting and reflection by Muslims worldwide, except for pilgrims performing Hajj.
The crescent marking the start of Dhul Hijjah is expected to be seen on:
Saturday, May 16, 2026, which places 1 Dhul Hijjah on Sunday, May 17 in the UAE
In eastern regions, the moon may be sighted a day later, meaning 1 Dhul Hijjah would fall on Monday, May 18, 2026
Based on this timeline:
Eid Al Adha in the UAE is expected on Tuesday, May 26, 2026
Other parts of the world, especially in the eastern hemisphere, may observe it on Wednesday, May 27, 2026
The nine days leading up to Eid are spent in devotion, prayer, and fasting, with the slaughter of livestock performed on Eid as a symbol of sacrifice and generosity, with meat distributed among family, friends, and the poor.

UN warns of 'unprecedented decline' in world fertility rates; Reveals the key factor responsible for the trend

You're in for some grim news. The United Nations has issued a stark warning regarding the fertility rate worldwide. According to a new report by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN agency for reproductive rights, global fertility rates are experiencing an "unprecedented decline. " The agency has taken its strongest line yet on fertility decline, warning that hundreds of millions of people are not able to have the number of children they want, citing the prohibitive cost of parenthood and the lack of a suitable partner as some of the reasons, signaling a demographic shift that could reshape societies, economies, and policies worldwide. What happened? UNFPA surveyed 14,000 people in 14 countries about their fertility intentions. One in five said they haven't had or expect they won't have their desired number of children. The countries surveyed - South Korea, Thailand, Italy, Hungary, Germany, Sweden, Brazil, Mexico, the US, India, Indonesia, Morocco, South Africa, and Nigeria - account for a third of the global population. They are a mix of low, middle, and high-income countries and those with low and high fertility. UNFPA surveyed young adults and those past their reproductive years. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo As per Dr Natalia Kanem, head of UNFPA, who told the BBC, "The world has begun an unprecedented decline in fertility rates." What are the findings? According to Dr Kanem, "Most people surveyed want two or more children. Fertility rates are falling in large part because many feel unable to create the families they want. And that is the real crisis." The survey, which is a pilot for research in 50 countries later this year, is limited in its scope. When it comes to age groups within countries, for example, the sample sizes are too small to draw solid conclusions. However, some findings are clear. In all countries, 39% of people said financial limitations prevented them from having a child. The highest response was in Korea (58%), the lowest in Sweden (19%). In total, only 12% of people cited infertility - or difficulty conceiving - as a reason for not having the number of children they wanted to. But that figure was higher in countries including Thailand (19%), the US (16%), South Africa (15%), Nigeria (14%), and India (13%). Experts' take: As per demographer Anna Rotkirch, who has researched fertility intentions in Europe and advises the Finnish government on population policy, quoted by the BBC, "Calling this a crisis, saying it's real. That's a shift I think." She added, "Overall, there's more undershooting than overshooting of fertility ideals." Anna has studied this at length in Europe and is interested to see it reflected at a global level. She was also surprised by how many respondents over 50 (31%) said they had fewer children than they wanted. As per Prof Stuart Gietel-Basten, demographer at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, quoted by the BBC, "This is the first time that [the UN] have really gone all-out on low fertility issues.' Until recently, the agency focused heavily on women who have more children than they wanted and the "unmet need" for contraception. Still, the UNFPA is urging caution in response to low fertility. As per Dr Kanem, "Right now, what we're seeing is a lot of rhetoric of catastrophe, either overpopulation or shrinking population, which leads to this kind of exaggerated response, and sometimes a manipulative response. In terms of trying to get women to have more children, or fewer." Dr Kanem also pointed out that 40 years ago, China, Korea, Japan, Thailand, and Turkey were all worried their populations were too high. By 2015, they wanted to boost fertility. According to Prof Gietel-Basten, "We want to try as far as possible to avoid those countries enacting any kind of panicky policies." He added, "We are seeing low fertility, population ageing, population stagnation used as an excuse to implement nationalist, anti-migrant policies and gender conservative policies." Factors responsible for the decline in fertility rate: While the decline in fertility rates is a complex issue influenced by a multitude of factors, including societal changes, economic shifts, and advancements in reproductive technologies, key drivers include increased female education, changing societal attitudes towards family size, access to contraception, and rising concerns about infertility due to lifestyle factors and environmental pollution. Here's a more detailed look at the key factors: Socio-economic and cultural factors: Increased female education and workforce participation: Education and employment opportunities for women often lead to later marriages and smaller family sizes, as women prioritize careers and personal growth. Changing societal norms and attitudes: Traditional values emphasizing large families are gradually giving way to smaller, more modern family structures. Economic development and urbanization: As countries develop, the costs of raising children can increase, leading to a desire for fewer children. Greater emphasis on individual aspirations and career goals: Women and couples are increasingly prioritizing their personal and professional goals, leading to delayed childbearing. Access to family planning and reproductive health services: The availability of contraception and family planning resources empowers individuals to make informed choices about family size. Shift in childbearing preferences: Individuals are increasingly choosing to have fewer children or delay parenthood, reflecting changing values and priorities. Health and infertility: Rising cases of infertility: Lifestyle factors (obesity, stress, smoking), environmental pollution, and increased awareness of reproductive health issues contribute to rising infertility rates. Age-related decline in fertility: Both men and women experience a decline in fertility with age, with women's fertility declining more rapidly after the mid-30s. Medical conditions affecting fertility: Various medical conditions, such as thyroid disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and endometriosis, can impact fertility. Technological and policy factors: Advancements in reproductive technologies: While these technologies offer hope for infertile couples, they can also contribute to a decline in natural conception rates. Family planning policies and programs: Government initiatives promoting family planning and reproductive health can influence fertility rates. Environmental factors: Pollution and environmental toxins: Environmental pollutants can negatively impact reproductive health and contribute to infertility. Climate change: The effects of climate change can also impact reproductive health and fertility. What can be done to reverse the decline? Reversing the global decline in fertility rates requires a multifaceted approach, focusing on economic stability, social support, and policy changes. While some factors like education and access to healthcare are associated with lower fertility, reversing the trend necessitates creating environments that are more conducive to having children. Here's a breakdown of strategies: Economic stability and opportunity: Promote stable employment and income growth: Economic security is a major factor in family planning decisions. Policies that foster job creation, reduce unemployment, and increase wages can make having children more feasible. Reduce the cost of raising children: Significant expenses associated with childcare, education, and housing can deter families from having more children. Subsidized childcare, affordable housing programs, and tax breaks for larger families can help alleviate these burdens. Social support and family-friendly policies: Extended parental leave: Fully paid and extended parental leave, shared between both parents, can provide families with the time they need to adjust to new parenthood without financial hardship. Access to childcare: Affordable, high-quality childcare options are crucial for working parents who wish to have children. Public and subsidized childcare programs can ensure that families can access the care they need. Supportive community and family networks: Strong social support systems, including extended family and friends, can help parents navigate the challenges of raising children. Programs that connect families with resources and support can create a more welcoming environment for new parents. Addressing societal norms and values: Promote a positive view of parenting: Public campaigns and educational initiatives can challenge negative stereotypes about having children and promote a more positive view of parenthood. Support work-life balance: Policies that encourage employers to offer flexible work arrangements and support work-life balance can help families integrate work and family responsibilities more effectively. Address gender inequality: Gender inequality in the home and workplace can hinder women's ability to pursue their family goals. Policies that promote gender equality in education, employment, and childcare can create more equitable opportunities for all families. Healthcare and reproductive health: Expand access to fertility treatments: Improved access to safe and affordable fertility treatments can help couples who are struggling to conceive. Public health programs can ensure that individuals have access to the care they need to achieve their family goals. Protect reproductive health: Promoting reproductive health education and access to contraception can help individuals make informed decisions about family planning. International cooperation and immigration: Address global inequality: Addressing global inequality and poverty can have a positive impact on fertility rates in developing countries. Increase immigration: Some argue that increasing immigration can help to offset population decline and maintain a stable workforce. Important considerations: The most effective policies will vary depending on the specific context and needs of each country and community. 'One-size-fits-all' solution doesn't work in that field. Moreover, reversing fertility declines is a long-term process that requires sustained effort and commitment. Ultimately, policies should aim to support the well-being of families and individuals, creating environments where they feel empowered to pursue their family goals.

Scorpio Moon on Jyestha Purnima 2025: Don't chase external validation

Among all the Purnimas, Jyestha Purnima stands out for its intense and transformative power. Falling in the month of Jyestha — one of the hottest and most spiritually charged months in the Hindu calendar — this full moon is not a gentle one. It is not about love, romance, or dreamy emotions. Rather, Jyestha Purnima is a call to power, truth, and inner strength. In 2025, Jyestha Purnima falls on 11th June, and its timing could not be more symbolic. As the Sun scorches through the sky and the Moon shines at its peak, this cosmic alignment activates deep energies that compel us to look within, rise above illusions, and step into our personal power. This isn't a time to chase external validation — it's a time to reclaim your truth, cut cords with falsehood, and anchor your energy in spiritual integrity. Let's explore what makes this full moon truly unique and how it will impact us all. Jyestha Purnima: The Full Moon of the Eldest Star Jyestha Nakshatra, meaning 'the eldest' or 'most senior,' is the 18th of the 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions) in Vedic astrology. It lies in the sign of Scorpio and is ruled by Mercury, yet its symbolic deity is Indra — the king of the gods. This combination brings with it a complex mix of mental strength, leadership, emotional intensity, and a constant struggle between power and responsibility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Didn't Anyone Tell You About This Power Saver? elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo Jyestha is not a soft or playful nakshatra. It is known for its sharp perception, protective energy, and the ability to see hidden truths. During Jyestha Purnima, when the full moon aligns with this star, we are all called to embrace these traits within ourselves. The Moon in Jyestha pushes us to shed emotional shallowness and confront what's really going on beneath the surface. It can bring hidden matters to light, unearth secrets, and guide us to emotional maturity. This is not a moon for escape. It demands courage, self-respect, and spiritual evolution. Those who are ready to take responsibility for their own growth will find Jyestha Purnima empowering and deeply liberating. Why This Full Moon Isn't About Love & Light We often associate full moons with beauty, romance, celebrations, and connection. And while many full moons support emotional bonding and love, Jyestha Purnima is not one of them. This is a moon that shines a light on power dynamics, inner truth, and the shadow self. Jyestha is associated with depth, intensity, and sometimes isolation. The Moon here isn't interested in surface-level joy. It wants you to dig deeper, uncover suppressed emotions, and release illusions. If you've been living in denial or clinging to toxic attachments, this full moon may trigger confrontations or awakenings that are difficult but necessary. This is a moon that might feel uncomfortable because it demands honesty — especially with yourself. It brings clarity, not comfort. Yet, through this clarity comes freedom. Relationships that are based on manipulation or power struggles may come into the spotlight. Situations that are draining your strength may reach a breaking point. This isn't a time to ignore the truth. Instead, it is a divine opportunity to reclaim your voice, your space, and your authentic self. Cosmic Alignments: Jyestha Moon and the Scorpio Vibration In 2025, Jyestha Purnima will occur with the Moon in Scorpio, a sign known for emotional depth, secrecy, and transformation. Scorpio is a watery sign, but unlike the calm waters of Pisces or the nurturing tides of Cancer, Scorpio's water is intense, magnetic, and full of mystery. It governs the subconscious mind, desires, fears, and rebirth. When the Moon is full in Scorpio, especially in Jyestha Nakshatra, we may experience emotional waves that seem overwhelming at first. Old traumas, regrets, and unresolved pain may resurface. But this is not to hurt us — it is to help us heal. With Mercury's influence, there is also a need for mental clarity and communication of truth. You may find yourself saying things you've been holding back. Or you may receive insights that help you make important decisions. What you speak under this moon can manifest quickly — for better or worse. Spiritual Significance: A Time for Tapasya & Shakti In Indian tradition, Jyestha Purnima is considered an auspicious time for tapasya (austerity), spiritual practice, and self-purification. Many people observe fasts, visit temples, or engage in rituals to honor divine feminine energies like Ganga Devi and Durga. Jyestha is also connected to Shakti, the raw feminine power that dwells within all of us, regardless of gender. This Shakti is not about softness — it's about strength, sovereignty, and spiritual fire. Under this full moon, many seekers perform Shakti Sadhana to invoke this energy within themselves. The blessings of the divine feminine are more easily accessed when one approaches with sincerity, courage, and inner discipline. This is a perfect time to disconnect from worldly distractions and tune into your higher self. Meditation, mantra chanting, and inner silence can reveal hidden knowledge. Jyestha Purnima supports not just spiritual rituals but spiritual transformation — the kind that changes your core and makes you unshakable from within. Truth Will Rise: The Shadow Comes to Light Every full moon brings things to light. But Jyestha Purnima takes this a step further. It brings the shadow into the light — the parts of ourselves we suppress, deny, or fear. This can feel like an emotional purge. You may cry, feel restless, or experience unusual dreams. All of this is part of the release process. You may become more aware of power games in your relationships, workplaces, or even within your own mind. The illusions we hold on to — such as control, image, or ego — may begin to crumble. And though that can be uncomfortable, it is also liberating. This is the full moon to sit with your truth. To accept all parts of yourself, including the messy, complicated ones. Jyestha gives us the courage to look directly into the mirror of the soul and say, 'I see you. I honour you. I'm ready to grow.' Practical Ways to Use Jyestha Purnima Energy While the cosmic energy is powerful on its own, we can work with it consciously for deeper benefits. During Jyestha Purnima, take time to engage in practices that support truth, healing, and empowerment. Sit in silence under the moonlight. Journal your deepest thoughts. Perform rituals for ancestral healing. Offer water to sacred rivers or in your own home altar to honour the flow of divine wisdom. Avoid gossip, distractions, and superficial conversations. Instead, turn inward and nourish your spiritual self. Fasting, mantra chanting (especially for Durga, Kali, or Shiva), and reading scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita can also align you with higher frequencies. The more you purify your inner world, the more powerful and peaceful you will feel. How It Affects Zodiac Signs While the full moon affects everyone, it will be especially intense for those with prominent placements in Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius. If you have your Moon, Sun, or Ascendant in these signs, you may feel the pull of transformation more deeply. However, every sign can benefit by tuning in to the message of this moon: face your truth and claim your power. Cancer and Pisces may feel spiritually uplifted and emotionally awakened. Virgo and Capricorn may get clarity in their professional life. Aries and Sagittarius may experience shifts in their relationships. Libra and Gemini may be pushed to release emotional baggage. No matter your sign, Jyestha Purnima is asking you: 'Are you willing to rise above the old and step into your higher self?'
