Convert any date between the Gregorian and Islamic (Hijri) calendars, or work out your age in Hijri years. Pick a Gregorian date and you get the Hijri day, month name, year and weekday; enter a Hijri year, month and day and you get the Gregorian date back. The converter opens on today's date, so it also doubles as a quick way to check today's Hijri date. The age mode compares your Hijri and Gregorian ages and tells you when your next Hijri birthday falls. Dates come from the Umm al-Qura calendar, the official calendar of Saudi Arabia, which is a table built from astronomical calculation rather than a simple arithmetic rule. It covers 1300 to 1600 AH (12 November 1882 to 25 November 2174). Because a Hijri year has about 354 days, 11 fewer than a Gregorian year, your Hijri age moves about one year ahead every 33 years. Ramadan, Eid and other religious dates are often announced after the crescent moon is sighted, so the day observed where you live can differ by one or two days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is today's date in the Hijri calendar?
A. The converter opens on today's date, so today's Hijri day, month and year appear as soon as the page loads. It follows Saudi Arabia's Umm al-Qura calendar, so a mosque or country that starts months by moon sighting may be one day apart.
Q. When does Ramadan start each year?
A. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Hijri calendar. A Hijri year has only 354 or 355 days, so Ramadan arrives about 11 days earlier every Gregorian year. To find a given year, check the current Hijri year in Gregorian → Hijri mode, then switch to Hijri → Gregorian and enter that year, Ramadan and day 1. The result follows the Umm al-Qura calendar; many countries confirm the start only after the crescent is sighted, so the date where you live may differ by a day or two.
Q. How do I convert a Gregorian date to Hijri?
A. Choose the Gregorian to Hijri mode and pick a date. The converter shows the Hijri year, month name, day and weekday right away. To go the other way, switch to Hijri to Gregorian and enter the Hijri year, month and day.
Q. Why is my age in Hijri higher than my Gregorian age?
A. A Hijri year has about 354 days, roughly 11 days fewer than a Gregorian year. Those days add up, so your Hijri age gains about one extra year every 33 years. The Hijri age mode shows both ages side by side.
Q. How accurate is this Hijri date converter?
A. It matches the Umm al-Qura calendar exactly for 1300–1600 AH, Saudi Arabia's official calendar for civil dates. Countries that start months by moon sighting or by their own calculation can differ by one or two days, especially around Ramadan and the two Eids.
