The Hijri calendar is lunar. This page converts both ways with Umm al-Qura when your browser supports it, otherwise a tabular calendar, and always reminds you that official announcements can differ by a day.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Hijri calendar?
An Islamic lunar-year calendar; months have 29 or 30 days by sighting or calculation.
What is Umm al-Qura?
Saudi Arabia’s calculated Hijri calendar; the default in many digital tools.
Why can dates differ by ±1 day?
Moon sighting and national calendars (e.g. Diyanet) can disagree with Umm al-Qura. Official announcements win.
Why might Diyanet differ from this tool?
In Turkey, Diyanet publishes its own calendar; we show a ±1 day notice and defer to official notices.
When is Ramadan 2027?
About 8 February 2027 on Umm al-Qura — approximate; confirm with your country’s official announcement.
What about Laylat al-Qadr and Eids?
The list below shows approximate dates, each with a ±1 day note.
What is the tabular calendar?
A fixed arithmetic alternative — used when Umm al-Qura isn’t available, or for comparison.
Can I convert both ways?
Yes: Gregorian ↔ Hijri.
What does Today show?
Today’s Hijri/Gregorian pair for your device’s local calendar day and the selected calendar kind.
Does it work on older Safari?
If this browser can’t use Umm al-Qura, we switch to the tabular calendar and show a notice.
What about years outside the AH range?
Umm al-Qura in browsers covers roughly 1356–1500 AH; outside that we use the tabular calendar and note it.
Arabic-Indic digits?
Optional on the Arabic UI; results use bidi isolation.
Where is the Persian (Shamsi) calendar?
On the Persian date converter — this page is for lunar Hijri (قمری).
Prayer times or zakat?
Separate tools later; this page only converts dates.
How should I use Ramadan / Eid dates?
The tool gives estimates; for fasting, Eid and holidays follow your country’s official announcement (e.g. Diyanet).
Is anything uploaded?
No — conversion stays in your browser.
How do I confirm my country’s official calendar?
Diyanet, your local religious authority, or the official gazette.
Which language are month names in?
Arabic, Turkish and Persian use local names; English and Azerbaijani use their translations.
