Which Hijri calendar is this?

This converter uses Umm al-Qura, the calculated calendar that Saudi Arabia uses for official and administrative dates. Months have 29 or 30 days and a year has 354 or 355 days, about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, which is why Ramadan moves earlier every year.

Religious dates such as the start of Ramadan or Eid are confirmed by moon sighting and can differ from Umm al-Qura by a day. For official paperwork, Umm al-Qura is the reference.

Common uses

Iqama, visa and passport dates: many Saudi documents show the Hijri date; convert it to plan renewals in the Gregorian calendar.
Contracts and HR: probation periods, notice periods and leave are sometimes written in Hijri months.
Developers: PHP's IntlDateFormatter with @calendar=islamic-umalqura and JavaScript's Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-u-ca-islamic-umalqura') give the same result as this page.

FAQ

Why is my Hijri date one day different from another website?

Some sites use the arithmetic (tabular) Hijri calendar or moon sighting. This page uses Umm al-Qura, the official calendar in Saudi Arabia, so it matches government documents.

What is today's Hijri date?

Open the page: the Gregorian box starts on today's date and shows the Hijri date next to it.

How many days does a Hijri month have?

29 or 30. When you enter a Hijri date, the converter tells you how many days that month has; entering the 30th of a 29-day month shows a warning.

Does it work offline?

Yes, once the page is loaded. The conversion uses the calendar data built into your browser.
