Topic: Other days of the Islamic calendar
Does Taiwan have Other days of the Islamic calendar?
Not observed here
Taiwan's Act on Commemorative Days and Holidays contains no Islamic observance at all; neither the Islamic New Year nor the Prophet's birthday appears in it. The state's single point of contact with the Islamic calendar is what the Workforce Development Agency does for Eid al-Fitr: it asks employers to arrange or agree to leave around the day so migrant workers can attend collective prayers. That is an administrative appeal rather than a holiday, and it covers Eid al-Fitr only. Mawlid and the Islamic New Year receive not even that; the actual observance happens at the Taipei Grand Mosque and other prayer halls, arranged by the community itself and never entering the state calendar.
What is this topic?
Beyond Ramadan and the two Eids, the Islamic calendar carries several more days: the New Year on 1 Muharram, Ashura on 10 Muharram, the Prophet's birthday, and Isra Mi'raj. Of the seven places compared here, only Indonesia and India put any of them on the official calendar — and the two do not mark the same day. Indonesia takes 1 Muharram; India's gazetted "Muharram" is the tenth, Ashura, a full ten days later in 2026. Their Mawlid dates fall a day apart. How the date is fixed, and by whom, tells you more than the date itself.
