Amir Hasan Al-Mohammed Saleh
The date is right after crescent was sighted, Sheikh Tawfiq visits Amir in his home in the Zuqijan neighborhood in the city of Al-Ahsa, after collecting the prayer times for the entire month. After humble hospitality, Amir takes up the ruler and the pen, draws tables and decorates them with beautiful sermons and wisdom. This visit was the first seed of a blessed effort and a leaf that we have grown over the years, and it has borne fruit as ears of goodness and blessings, thanks to God. As Sheikh Tawfiq used to dictate the timings and Amir would write them down number by number. The Al-Ahsa calendar was the beginning, and then it included three calendars for Dammam, Dhahran, Al-Khobar, and Al-Qatif combined, and a separate calendar for the cities of Jubail and Riyadh. So the sessions of this blessed effort extended for four years until the end of 1414 AH. That dictates and the other writes numbers and times for it. These sessions in which a cup of hospitality was a blessing, a ruler of light and a pen of blessing that bore fruit schedules for prayer times, ready for printing and distribution to comuunity. May Allah reward you with the best reward and the best reward for every male and female slave who completed his ablution and prepared for his prayers because of the calendar (Safar 1411/August 1990 to Dhul-Hijjah 1414/May 1994).
Yassin AbdulHamid Al-Baghly
The calendar inspired Yassin and motivated him to improve it and bring it out in a better format and way. So he started working simple at the beginning of the year 1415 AH, as he relied on entering the prayer times in the schedules only. Then, Yassin devoted himself to studying and understanding the astronomical equations for calculating prayer times, then programmed them into the computer, until the process of issuing the calendar gradually turned into an automatic process that required choosing the day on which the crescent was fixed only. The commitment was great and the achievement impressive in a period that lasted until 1435 AH and for more than (20) years that resulted in a huge computer program that calculates prayer times for any city in the world according to the coordinates entered, in addition to calculating solar and lunar eclipses and crescent sighting information on a monthly basis for any city. It also contains important information such as the births and deaths of the Ahl al-Bayt, may the best of prayers and peace be upon them, important monthly events, the solar date, the star, the days of Scorpio, Mahag and Kawamel. The credit for this mighty work was pure to God, as it was the reason for the expansion of the calendar circle, and it became issued to (143) cities around the world at the request of the residents there who contacted Sheikh Tawfiq to obtain the calendar for their city. Congratulations for what you presented to God, Abu Ghassan (Muharram 1415 / June 1994 to Rajab 1435 / April 2014).
Hasan Mohammed Al-Abd Al-Salam
When the calendar became an integral part of society and was issued on a monthly basis, Hasan was the one who pledged himself to sit down every month to prepare the monthly calendar and make ready for printing using the program founded by Yassin Al-Baghli. Tirelessly, Hasan made this effort for ten continuous years. So You shall be rewareded by Allah for such great efforts Hasan (Muharram 1415 / July 1994 to Dhu al-Hijjah 1424 / January 2005).
The first text ads
The month is Ramadan Al-Khair for the year 1415 AH, when the first humble attempt to transform the calendar into an advertising medium began. In the photo library on the home page, you will find the first text ad posted on the back page of the calendar. This modest initiative lasted for several months, but ended as modestly as it began (February 1995).

Al-Duwail Forum
The credit was given to the owners of the Al-Duwail Forum in lifting up and transforming the calendar into a prestigious paper advertising medium for cities whose calendars are printed out. Where the calendar was re-produced and beautiful formats were introduced, and it changed monthly in a manner consistent with the main events of the month, which made it an attractive means for local advertisements, which was successfully managed by the owners of the forum. In the photo library on the home page, you can see one of the paper copies of the advertisements that were published with the calendar (Shawwal 1428/October 2007 to Dhul Qi’dah 1440/June 2019).
Imam Al-Hadi Committee website
In the month of Shawwal for the year 1429 AH, the initiative to upload electronic copies of the calendar for (143) cities around the world began on the website of the Imam Al-Hadi Committee, peace be upon him, www.alhadi.ws. So it became the main destination for obtaining Al-Hadi calendar around the world. And until the month of Jumada al-Awwal for the year 1443 AH, the number of downloads for the electronic copies of the calendar reached more than two million times for all cities for which the calendar is issued. Behind this charitable work was Hasan Habib Al-Haddad for nearly fourteen years of relentless effort. Where he was uploading calendars on the site on a monthly basis for (143) cities around the world. May Allah reward you for that Hasan (Shawwal 1429/October 2008 to Jumada Al-Awwal 1443/December 2021).
Adopting Al-Hadi Calendar Name
The name Al-Hadi Calendar was adopted in the month of Rabi` al-Akhar for the year 1430 AH, corresponding to March 2009.
Hani Naser Al-Buali
Hani took the initiative to prepare the monthly calendar using the program that was done by Yassin Al-Baghly. Then, Hani sends the calendar for printing at the Al-Duwail Press, until the paper printing stopped and he continued to issue the electronic version of the calendar on a monthly basis. This effort and commitment extended for five years tirelessly. May Allah reward you on behalf of the community (Rabi Al-Awwal 1439 - November 2017).
Hasan AbdulHadi Al-Sabti
The initiative was personal and smart when Hasan presented the www.sabti-h.com page to the community after preparing it to display AlHadi calendar with the addition of a countdown to the next prayer and a prominent display of the time of the next prayer. It was a trial work by Hasan, but in a few months it turned into a central and important page that many rely on to know prayer times. Allah has ordained for her a great fortune of success and repayment, as the number of visits to his page reached more than (15) million visits from the year 1439 AH to the time of writing these lines. The zakat of your knowledge, Hasan, was great, and we ask Allah Almighty to perpetuate your success (Rabee Awwal 1439 / November 2017).
