Your browser can’t calculate Hijri dates
This page needs the Umm al-Qura calendar that up-to-date browsers include. Rather than show a wrong date, nothing is converted. Try an up-to-date browser.
How the dates are worked out
Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you pick is sent anywhere.
- Umm al-Qura calendar
- Uses the Umm al-Qura calendar built into your browser, the calculated calendar Saudi Arabia uses for civil dates. Month lengths (29 or 30 days) come from the same calendar.
- Local adjustment
- −1 or +1 moves every Hijri date on the page by one day, for places whose calendar runs a day behind or ahead. Hijri → Gregorian takes the same adjustment into account, so both directions agree.
- When the day changes
- At midnight on your device, not at sunset. Today’s date updates by itself when midnight passes while the page is open.
- Supported years
- 1300 to 1600 AH (12 November 1882 to 25 November 2174).
- Official dates
- This is a calculated date. Official dates in your country, such as the start of Ramadan or Eid, may follow government announcements instead.

Questions
Why is the Hijri date different in my country or at my mosque?
Many countries and mosques start each month after a local moon sighting or follow their own official calendar, so their date can be a day ahead or behind the calculated Umm al-Qura date. Official dates, such as the start of Ramadan or Eid, follow government announcements, so check those for religious occasions.
What does the local adjustment do?
It moves every Hijri date on this page by one day, earlier (−1) or later (+1), to match a local calendar that differs from Umm al-Qura. It applies to today’s date and to both conversions, and it is remembered on this device only.
When does the Hijri day change here?
At midnight on your device. In the Islamic calendar the day traditionally begins at sunset, but working out sunset needs your location, which this page doesn’t ask for. Between sunset and midnight, the next Hijri date may already have started where you are.
Which years can I convert?
From 1300 to 1600 AH, which is 12 November 1882 to 25 November 2174. That is the range of the Umm al-Qura calendar built into your browser, so dates outside it are not converted rather than guessed.
