Hijri date converter
Convert between the Islamic (Hijri) calendar and the Gregorian calendar in either direction.
How Hijri dates work
The Hijri calendar is lunar. Each month starts with the new crescent moon and lasts 29 or 30 days, so a Hijri year is about 354 days. That is why Ramadan and Eid move about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year.
This converter follows the Umm al-Qura calendar used officially in Saudi Arabia. Many countries start months by local sighting, which can make their date one day later. Tick the local sighting box to see that version.
