How it works
The date is first turned into a day count. A fixed set of arithmetic steps then gives the Hijri year, month and day, using the tabular calendar that repeats on a fixed cycle of years.
Tabular dates can differ by a day from dates set by moon sighting in some places, so check your local source for religious dates.
Worked example
2026-11-05 in the Gregorian calendar is day 24 of Jumada al-Ula in Hijri year 1,448.
Questions
Does this match the date in my country?
It may differ by a day. Moon sighting and local calendars can set a different start to the month, so check your local source.
Why is the Hijri year different from the Gregorian year?
The Hijri year is shorter than a Gregorian year, so the two year numbers drift apart over time.
Can I convert a Hijri date back?
This page converts in one direction only. A published converter can handle the other direction.
