Why Day of Arafah falls when it does in 2028
Day of Arafah is fixed in the Hijri calendar, which is purely lunar with no leap month at all. Twelve lunar months run about eleven days shorter than a solar year, so the Gregorian date walks steadily backwards through the seasons and returns to the same point roughly every thirty-three years — 10 days earlier than in 2027.
