For Islamic-giving organisations, the Hijri year is not a footnote — it's the framework. Zakat anniversaries, Ramadan, Hajj, Eid, Muharram, Mawlid, Laylat al-Qadr — every observance on the right date, computed astronomically with moon-sighting overrides.
The Hijri year
Sacred months marked. Ramadan in gold. Pre-drafted appeals appear three weeks ahead of each major observance.
How the calendar works in the platform
Hijri-awareness is not a toggle in the settings panel. It runs through every layer.
Every contributor receipt, every appeal end-date, every recurring schedule — shown in both Hijri and Gregorian. No mental conversion required.
Months computed via astronomical new-moon. Local moon-sighting overrides supported per region (Saudi, Türkiye, Pakistan, Bangladesh all have different conventions).
Three weeks before Ramadan, Eid, Hajj, Muharram, Mawlid, Laylat al-Qadr — a draft appeal appears in the dashboard with respectful copy, suggested goal, ready-to-print khutbah QR code.
For Muslims who paid Zakat last year, a Hijri-anniversary reminder appears 11 lunar months later. Self-attested nisab; reference to last year's amount; the platform never automates the actual Zakat payment.
During the last 10 nights of Ramadan, opt-in push notifications timed to local sunset and night-prayer windows. Respectful copy ("remember this appeal in your du'a"). One per night, never more.
Automated comms respect Jumma'h prayer time. Email blasts pause during the khutbah window in the contributor's local timezone.
