This means that almost all the Muslim World will witness the beginning of the 11th Hijri month of Dhul Qi’dah of the year 1438 on Monday the 24th, regardless of your location.

Dhul Qi’dah, or Dhu’l Qa’dah, according to what Imam al-Nawawi believes to be the most correct and traditionally widespread transliteration of the month, is one of the four sacred months in Islam during which warfare is prohibited, hence the name “Master of Truce”.
