Accurate Umm al-Qura based Hijri ⇄ Gregorian conversion with a day adjustment for local moon sighting.
What is the Islamic Date Converter?
See today’s Islamic (Hijri) date and convert any Gregorian date to Hijri or any Hijri date to Gregorian. The converter uses the Umm al-Qura calendar (used in Saudi Arabia) with an optional day adjustment, because in Pakistan and India the new month often begins one day later after local moon sighting.
It also lists this year’s important Islamic dates – Islamic New Year, Ashura, Mawlid, Shab-e-Miraj, Shab-e-Barat, Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Day of Arafah and Eid al-Adha – with their estimated Gregorian dates.
How to use the Islamic Date Converter
- Check today’s Hijri date at the top and set the local adjustment.
- Pick a Gregorian date to convert to Hijri.
- Or enter a Hijri day, month and year to get the Gregorian date.
About the Hijri calendar
The Islamic calendar is lunar: 12 months of 29 or 30 days, about 354 days a year, so Islamic dates move about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year. Month starts depend on moon sighting, so final dates are announced by local committees (such as the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee in Pakistan).
