Hijri month calendar
Hijri months begin with the sighting of the new moon, so the real date in your country can differ by a day from the tabular calendar. Use the adjustment above to match your local announcement.
How to use Hijri Calendar
See today's Hijri date
The page opens on today's date in both calendars. If your country announced the month a day earlier or later, use the ±1 day adjustment to match your local sighting.
Convert a date
Enter a Gregorian date to see its Hijri date — or enter a Hijri day, month and year to see the Gregorian date. Both directions work instantly.
Browse a Hijri month
Pick a Hijri month and year to see the whole month as a calendar, with the Gregorian date under every Hijri day. Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhul-Hijjah and all twelve months are there.
Example: Example: 12 November 2026 is 1 Jumada al-Akhirah 1448 on the tabular calendar (Pakistan announced the same day; the Umm al-Qura calendar says 2 Jumada al-Thani — a one-day sighting difference).
About Hijri Calendar
The Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar: twelve months of 29 or 30 days, following the moon, so the Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year and Islamic months move through the seasons. This converter uses the tabular (Kuwaiti) Islamic calendar, the standard arithmetic calendar used by most converters, and it is exact within that system — 12 November 2026 converts to 1 Jumada al-Akhirah 1448, and 1 Ramadan 1448 converts to 8 February 2027, matching the Umm al-Qura civil calendar.
One honest note: the real start of a Hijri month depends on the sighting of the new moon, so different countries can announce the same month on different days — usually by one day. That is why the tool has a ±1 day adjustment: if your country or mosque announced the month a day earlier or later, set the adjustment and every date on the page follows it. For religious dates such as Ramadan and Eid, always follow your local moon-sighting announcement.
Frequently asked questions
What is today's Hijri date?
It is shown at the top of this page, in both calendars. The tabular calendar date can differ by a day from your country's announced date — use the ±1 day adjustment to match local sighting.
How does the converter work?
It uses the tabular (Kuwaiti) Islamic calendar, the standard arithmetic calendar: Hijri months alternate 30 and 29 days, with a leap day added in 11 years of every 30-year cycle. The conversion is exact within that system.
Why do different sites show different Hijri dates?
Because the real month starts with the sighting of the new moon, and countries announce it on different days. Most converters also differ by whether they follow the Umm al-Qura civil calendar or the tabular calendar — usually by one day.
When does Ramadan start?
Ramadan 1448 is expected to start on Monday 8 February 2027 (Umm al-Qura civil calendar), subject to moon sighting. Use the Ramadan Countdown tool for the live countdown.
What are the twelve Hijri months?
Muharram, Safar, Rabi al-Awwal, Rabi al-Thani, Jumada al-Ula, Jumada al-Akhirah, Rajab, Sha'ban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhul-Qa'dah and Dhul-Hijjah.
Can I see a full Hijri month?
Yes. Pick a Hijri month and year below the converter and the whole month appears as a calendar, with the Gregorian date under every Hijri day.
