The site shows the current moon phase and illumination percentage live. The moon goes through eight phases over a 29.5-day cycle: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent.
Moon illumination is calculated astronomically from the Sun-Moon-Earth angle. It ranges from 0% (new moon) to 100% (full moon), and is shown live based on your location.
Moon age is the number of days elapsed since the last new moon. It ranges from 0 to 29.5 days.
Moonrise depends on your longitude. The site shows moonrise time in your local timezone once your location is detected.
Moonset depends on your longitude and latitude. The site shows moonset time in your local timezone.
A full moon occurs every 29.5 days. The site displays the Gregorian and Hijri date of the next full moon at 100% illumination.
An astronomical constellation is a region of sky with official boundaries set by the International Astronomical Union (IAU); 88 in total, 13 along the ecliptic (including Ophiuchus). A zodiac sign is an astrological division assuming 12 equal segments (30° each) from the spring equinox — and it does NOT reflect the actual astronomical position of the Moon. We use IAU constellations, not zodiac signs.

Moon illumination is the portion of the lunar surface lit by the sun as seen from Earth. It ranges from 0% (new moon) to 100% (full moon), calculated astronomically from the Sun–Moon–Earth angle.
A new moon is the instant the Moon lies between Earth and Sun (0% illumination, invisible). A crescent appears one or two days after the new moon, as the first thin bow of light in the sky.
The crescent is visible after sunset on the western horizon when the Moon is at least about 15 hours old. A clear, cloudless western horizon is required.
The eight lunar phases are: (1) New Moon, (2) Waxing Crescent, (3) First Quarter, (4) Waxing Gibbous, (5) Full Moon, (6) Waning Gibbous, (7) Last Quarter, (8) Waning Crescent. The cycle repeats every 29.5 days.
Moonrise depends on a city’s longitude. The difference can reach up to 12 hours between the easternmost and westernmost parts of the world. Latitude has a minor effect on direction.
Laylat al-Qadr is a blessed night in the last ten nights of Ramadan, most likely the 27th but possibly any of the odd nights (21, 23, 25, 27, 29).
Yes, the moon can sometimes be seen in daytime, especially during the First Quarter, Last Quarter, and gibbous phases. During the full moon it is seen only at night.
A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth is positioned between the Sun and Moon, so the Moon enters Earth's shadow. It only happens during a full moon, and ranges from partial to total. During a total eclipse the Moon turns dark red — the "blood moon" — caused by sunlight scattering through Earth's atmosphere.
This is called "tidal locking": the Moon's rotation period (27.3 days) equals its orbital period around Earth. As a result the same hemisphere always faces Earth, while the opposite side is called the "far side" and was first photographed in 1959 by Soviet probe Luna 3.
Moon gravity pulls ocean water, causing a bulge on the Moon-facing side (high tide) and another on the opposite side due to inertia. Between them are low tides. Roughly two highs and two lows occur daily. When Moon aligns with the Sun (new or full moon), tides reach maximum — "spring tides".
Limited scientific studies suggest some people experience sleep about 20–30 minutes shorter during full moon nights, possibly due to increased sky brightness. The effect is small and varies between individuals; there is no conclusive evidence that the Moon affects mood or behavior generally.
When the Moon is near the horizon, its light passes through a thicker slice of atmosphere. Blue wavelengths scatter away, leaving red and yellow to reach the eye. This is the same effect that colors sunrise and sunset. Once high in the sky the Moon returns to its silvery-white color.
Blue Moon: the second full moon in the same Gregorian month; occurs about every 2.7 years (it is not actually blue). Supermoon: a full moon coinciding with the Moon's closest point to Earth (perigee), making it appear ~14% larger and ~30% brighter than an average full moon.
A lunar cycle takes about 29.5 days, passing through eight phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
Moonrise and moonset times vary from city to city based on longitude and timezone — that's why this page shows times in your local timezone.
The Moon’s orbit around the Earth takes about 29.5 days — known as the lunar (synodic) month. During this time the Moon passes through eight successive phases, from New Moon through Waning Crescent, before repeating the cycle.
A New Moon is the moment the Moon lies between the Sun and Earth; the side facing Earth is completely dark (0% illumination). The Moon is not visible then because it rises and sets with the Sun.
One or two days after the New Moon, the Waxing Crescent begins to appear as a slender arc on the western horizon shortly after sunset. Illumination gradually increases from about 1% to 49%.
At 50% illumination, the Moon reaches the First Quarter and appears as a half-disc. Then comes the Waxing Gibbous phase (51% to 99%), followed by the Full Moon at 100% illumination.
The Full Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. After the Full Moon, illumination decreases through the Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent phases, until the Moon returns to a New Moon again.
Moonrise and moonset depend primarily on a city’s longitude. Since Earth rotates once every 24 hours, easterly cities see moonrise before westerly ones. The gap between Earth’s far east and far west can reach 12 hours.
Latitude also affects the direction of moonrise (northeast vs. southeast) and how long the Moon stays in the sky. That is why moon times in Mecca differ from Riyadh, Dubai, Cairo, London and Jakarta.
The Hijri (Islamic) calendar is entirely based on the lunar cycle. Each Hijri month begins with the sighting of the crescent and lasts 29 or 30 days. This lunar cycle determines the dates of the major observances of Islam:
Naked-eye sighting of the crescent is required by many jurists as the start of a Hijri month. The crescent must typically be at least about 15 hours old at sunset, and high enough above the horizon to be visible.

Estimate zakat on your money, savings, gold, silver, and investments — with clear nisab thresholds and the 2.5% rate.
Adjust the per-gram price to match your local market.
Zakat will be calculated if the wealth meets the nisab.
Zakat may not yet be due if a full lunar year has not passed on the wealth, except in special cases.
You may use the calculator to get an estimate, then review the wealth-acquisition date or consult a trusted scholar.
Enter the funds you actually own at the time of zakat.
Personal jewelry gold has fiqh differences; the calculation may vary depending on the fatwa you follow.
Property used as a residence or for personal use is generally not included; property held for sale is included at market value.
Debt deduction rules vary by debt type and timing; this calculator provides a general estimate.
| Cash total | 0 |

Zakat on money is generally calculated at 2.5% of the net zakatable wealth once it meets the nisab and a full lunar year (Hawl) has passed.
Zakat is typically calculated as 2.5% of net zakatable wealth once it meets the nisab and a full lunar year (Hawl) has passed. Formula: Zakat = Net wealth × 2.5%.
The nisab is the minimum amount of wealth that triggers the obligation of zakat once the Hawl has passed. It is commonly estimated as the equivalent of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver.
If the wealth meets the nisab and a full lunar year (Hawl) has passed, zakat is calculated at 2.5% of the net zakatable wealth.
The rate of zakat on money is generally 2.5%.
Salary itself is not subject to zakat upon receipt, but whatever is saved from it that meets the nisab and on which a full lunar year passes is included in the zakat calculation.
Gold is subject to zakat once it meets the nisab. Personal jewelry gold has fiqh differences, so refer to the fatwa you follow.
Yes, zakat may be due on stocks depending on the intention (long-term investment, speculation, or trade). They can be included under the investments section in the calculator.
Some due debts may be deducted, but the details vary by debt type and timing — this calculator provides a general estimate.
No, the calculator helps you estimate, but it does not replace consulting a knowledgeable scholar in special or complex cases.
Zakat on money is paid when it reaches the nisab and a full lunar year has passed; many people pick a fixed date in the year to calculate and pay their zakat regularly.
The rate is the same 2.5% for gold zakat and cash zakat, but the gold nisab is measured by its weight in grams, while the cash nisab is measured by its value compared with the gold or silver nisab.
This calculator provides a general estimate of zakat based on your inputs. Some details may vary depending on the type of wealth, debts, gold, stocks, or the fatwa followed in your country. For special cases, consult a trusted scholar.

The electronic tasbih is a simple digital tool that helps you count Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar without needing a physical bead tasbih. It runs in your browser, keeps your count during the session, and supports two modes: auto mode for after-prayer dhikr (33 + 33 + 33) and free-counter mode for any other dhikr.
Follow these simple steps:
Pick "Auto Tasbih" for the after-prayer sequence: Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar — each 33 times. Or pick "Free Counter" for any other dhikr like istighfar or salawat on the Prophet ﷺ.
Every tap increases the count by one. In auto mode the counter automatically advances to the next dhikr when you reach 33, so you do not need to do anything extra.
A bar under the circle shows your position out of 33, and the session total is displayed below, so you can be sure you completed the required count.
Use "Reset counter" to bring the current dhikr back to 0 without losing the session total, or "Reset session" to start a brand new session from zero.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever glorifies Allah after every prayer thirty-three times, praises Allah thirty-three times, and magnifies Allah thirty-three times — that is ninety-nine — and completes the hundred with: La ilaha illa Allah, Wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd wa Huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir — his sins will be forgiven even if they were like the foam of the sea." — Reported by Muslim.
Glorifying Allah above any imperfection. Said thirty-three times after the obligatory prayer.
Praising Allah for all His apparent and hidden blessings. Said thirty-three times after the tasbih.
Magnifying Allah, glorified is He. Said thirty-three times, then the count is sealed with the testimony of monotheism to complete the hundred.
You can benefit from it in several situations:
The most common use: count Subhanallah 33, Alhamdulillah 33, and Allahu Akbar 33, then the testimony of monotheism.
Count tahlil, istighfar, and salawat on the Prophet ﷺ as part of your morning and evening dhikr routines.
Set a daily goal — for example 100 istighfars — and count them easily in free-counter mode.
Invest waiting minutes in dhikr — while waiting for an appointment, on public transport, etc.
A practical alternative to a physical bead tasbih while traveling — works directly on your phone.
The electronic tasbih is only a helping tool — the reward is tied to the dhakir's intention and presence of heart, not to whether the count is done on a physical tasbih, an electronic one, or on the fingers.
No. It is merely a tool for counting dhikr, exactly like a physical bead tasbih or counting on the fingers. The principle is that dhikr is Sunnah, and any tool that helps you do it is permissible as long as it does not distract from the goal.
Currently the count is preserved only during the session. When you reload the page the count starts again — this is intentional so it matches the after-prayer tasbih as a standalone event.
The number 33 comes from the Prophetic hadith: tasbih 33 + tahmid 33 + takbir 33 = 99, then sealed with the testimony of monotheism to complete the hundred. The electronic tasbih in auto mode follows this exact order.
Yes. There is no shar'i difference between counting on a physical tasbih, an electronic one, or on the fingers — the latter is mentioned in the hadith: "Count with the fingertips, for they will be questioned and made to speak." Choose whatever helps you focus more.
Yes, after you open the page once. The site supports offline operation (PWA), so once the page is loaded the tasbih runs locally on your device.
Yes, it is completely free with no registration and no ads inside the tool, and the count stays on your device — nothing is sent to any server.

Want to know more about this year's Ramadan?
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Hijri lunar calendar and one of the most important months in Islam. The Quran was revealed in it, and Muslims fast from dawn to sunset throughout its days.
It is determined by sighting the crescent after sunset on the 29th of Shaban. If not sighted, Shaban is completed as 30 days and Ramadan begins the following day.
The Hijri lunar year is about 10–11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar year, so Ramadan (along with every Islamic occasion) advances by the same amount annually in the Gregorian calendar.
The start of Ramadan is tied to sighting the crescent of 1 Ramadan. The date shown above is astronomically calculated per the arithmetic Hijri calendar and may differ by one day from the official announcement of each country’s religious authority.
Discover the days remaining until the blessed Eid al-Fitr with the expected Gregorian and Hijri dates. Eid day may vary by one day depending on the Shawwal crescent sighting in your country.

Want to know more about this year's Eid al-Fitr?
Eid al-Fitr is one of the two Islamic Eids, coming after completing the fast of the blessed month of Ramadan, beginning on the first day of Shawwal. It includes takbir, Eid prayer, paying Zakat al-Fitr before prayer, and exchanging greetings.
Eid al-Fitr is established by one of two ways: sighting the Shawwal crescent after sunset on the 29th day of Ramadan, or completing Ramadan as 30 days if the crescent is not seen.
The lunar Hijri year is about 10-11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so Eid al-Fitr advances the same amount each year in the Gregorian calendar, cycling through all seasons every ~33 years.
Eid al-Fitr is tied to sighting the Shawwal crescent after completing 29 or 30 days of Ramadan. The date shown is calculated astronomically per the arithmetic Hijri calendar and may differ by one day from each country’s official announcement.
Discover the days remaining until the blessed Eid al-Adha with the expected Gregorian and Hijri dates. Eid al-Adha falls on Yawm al-Nahr (10 Dhul-Hijjah) and may differ by a day between countries based on the Dhul-Hijjah crescent sighting.

Want to know more about this year's Eid al-Adha?
Eid al-Adha is the greater of the two Islamic Eids, falling on the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah after the Day of Arafah. It is known as the Day of Sacrifice, when Muslims offer animal sacrifices commemorating the sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
Eid al-Adha is established by confirming the start of Dhul-Hijjah through sighting its crescent, then counting to the 10th day. The date may differ by one day between countries depending on sighting.
The lunar Hijri year is about 10–11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so Eid al-Adha advances the same amount each year in the Gregorian calendar, cycling through all seasons every ~33 years.
Eid al-Adha is tied to Yawm al-Nahr, the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah, following the Day of Arafah. The date shown is calculated astronomically per the arithmetic Hijri calendar and may differ by one day from each country’s official announcement based on Dhul-Hijjah crescent sighting.
Discover the days remaining until the new Hijri (Islamic lunar) year with the expected Gregorian and Hijri dates. The new year begins on 1 Muharram, and the announcement may differ by a day between countries based on the Muharram crescent sighting.

Want to know more about the Islamic New Year?
The Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar officially adopted by Muslims during the reign of Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab. Its starting point is the year of the Prophet Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina, and it consists of 12 lunar months.
Muharram is one of the four sacred months (Dhul-Qi‘dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab). Islam honored it as the Arabs had before, and avoiding injustice and forbidden acts during it is especially emphasized.
The tenth of Muharram is a virtuous day; the Prophet ﻺ fasted it in gratitude to Allah for saving Moses (peace be upon him). Fasting it together with the ninth (Tasu‘a) is recommended to differ from the People of the Book.
The Hijri New Year begins with the first day of Muharram. The date shown is astronomically calculated according to the tabular Hijri calendar; the official announcement may differ by one day depending on the local sighting of the Muharram crescent in each country.
