How to Convert a Date
Choose the conversion direction you need — Hijri to Gregorian or Gregorian to Hijri — then enter the day, month, and year, and select your country based on the calendar system it follows. Click "Convert" to get the matching date instantly.
You can even enter your date of birth to instantly find out your Islamic date of birth and the Hijri year you were born in, which is especially useful since most households only keep a printed Islamic calendar for the month of Ramadan.
What Is the Hijri Calendar?
The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar that begins from the year the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated from Makkah to Madinah — an event known as the Hijrah, meaning "migration." This migration marked the start of the Hijri era and is the reference point from which all Hijri years are counted.
Because it follows the moon rather than the sun, the Hijri calendar has 354–355 days a year compared to the 365–366 days of the Gregorian calendar. Its twelve months are Muharram, Safar, Rabi al-Awwal, Rabi al-Thani, Jumada al-Awwal, Jumada al-Thani, Rajab, Sha'ban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhul Qadah, and Dhul Hijjah — four of which are considered sacred months.
Why Does the Hijri Date Differ by Country?
Some countries determine the start of a new Hijri month using astronomical calculation, while others rely on physically sighting the new moon. This is why the Hijri date can differ by a day between countries in certain months when converting between Hijri and Gregorian dates.
