About the Hijri Calendar
The Hijri calendar, also called the Islamic calendar, is a lunar calendar made up of twelve months of 29 or 30 days, giving a year of 354 or 355 days. Because it follows the moon rather than the sun, it runs about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, so Islamic dates fall earlier each year. The calendar begins with the Prophet Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina, and its months – from Muharram to Dhul-Hijjah – mark the rhythm of religious life, including Ramadan, the Hajj and the two Eids.
Most Muslims know the Gregorian date at a glance, but converting it to the Hijri date by hand is fiddly. This converter does the work instantly: pick any Gregorian date and it will show you the matching Hijri date, along with today’s Hijri date for quick reference. It is ideal for planning religious events, checking the start of Ramadan or simply satisfying your curiosity about the Islamic date today.
