Hijri date converter: frequently asked questions
Which Hijri calendar does this use?
The Umm al-Qura calendar, the calculated Islamic calendar widely used for civil purposes in the Gulf.
Why might Ramadan or Eid fall on a different day?
Religious dates are confirmed by moon sighting committees and can differ by a day from the calculated calendar.
How long is a Hijri year?
About 354 or 355 days, which is why Hijri dates move about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year.
How many days are in a Hijri month?
29 or 30 days, depending on the month and the year.
Can I convert a date of birth?
Yes. Enter the Gregorian date of birth to get the Hijri date.
What does AH mean?
Anno Hegirae — years counted from the Hijra in 622 CE.
Why does a Hijri date say it does not exist?
Some months have only 29 days in a given year, so the 30th does not exist in that month.
