You might be wondering, why are we discussing the Islamic New Year in a real estate gathering? It's because  our ethos at Aviva Real Estate is not just about bricks and mortar. It's about understanding and respecting the diverse cultures and traditions of our clients and partners. We believe that true success in our industry comes from a deep understanding of the people we serve, and a recognition of the values and tradition that holds immense significance to millions of people across the world. 

     As we turn towards the future, let us consider the date of the Islamic New Year in 2024. According to the lunar calendar, the Hijri New Year will be expected to fall on the evening of 7th July 2024. However, it's important to note that these dates may vary and are subject to change based on lunar movement and sightings. 

     This keynote is not just about the date, but about what it represents - a time of beginnings, a time of reflection, a time of community. The Islamic New Year is not just a date on the calendar, but a powerful symbol of the enduring strength and resilience of the Islamic culture and tradition.
