Common questions
What is today's Hijri date?
See the blue banner at the top of this page — it shows today in both calendars. Note that official moon-sighting announcements can shift it by a day.
Why does the Hijri date differ between websites?
The Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, and months officially begin with the sighted crescent moon. Calculators use either the Umm al-Qura (Saudi) calendar or the arithmetical calendar, which can differ by a day from each other and from local moon-sighting committees.
How do I convert my Gregorian birthday to Hijri?
Use the Gregorian → Hijri tab above and enter your birth date.
How many days are in a Hijri year?
354 days in a common year, 355 in a leap year — about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, which is why Ramadan moves through the seasons.
