A number of main days recorded in the calendar are marked as follows:

- Ramadan Hayit - March 20;
Eid al-Adha - May 27-29.
The department notes that although these dates are based on scientific and astronomical calculations, there is a possibility that they will shift forward or backward by one day depending on the new moon. Therefore, the calendar is partially updated every year depending on the phase of the moon.
As known, Ramadan is considered a month of spiritual purification, fasting, worship, charity, and goodness.
