Understand the Islamic date at a glance
Each day pairs its Gregorian date with the full Hijri day, month and year. Gold accents mark Fridays, while a labelled divider shows exactly where a new Islamic month begins.
Gregorian date
The large top number follows the civil calendar used for everyday planning.
Hijri date
The lower date follows the Islamic lunar calendar used for worship and observances.
Local confirmation
Confirm Ramadan, Eid and other moon-dependent dates with trusted local authorities.
Use Gregorian and Hijri dates together
The Gregorian calendar supports everyday appointments while the Hijri calendar organises Islamic months and observances. Reading both together makes it easier to prepare without confusing an expected date with a locally confirmed one.
Check today
Find the highlighted civil date and its corresponding Hijri day, month and year.
Plan ahead
Move between months to prepare for fasting, family worship and important Islamic occasions.
Confirm locally
Use trusted local announcements for observances that depend on verified crescent sighting.
The moon helps people measure time
The Quran connects the phases of the moon with timekeeping and pilgrimage. This is why Hijri months follow the lunar cycle and move through the seasons.
The Islamic year contains twelve months
The Quran identifies twelve months and notes that four are sacred. Learning their order helps place fasting, Hajj and other observances in their proper month.
Islamic calendar questions
What is today’s Islamic date?
The highlighted Today card shows the current Gregorian date beside its calculated Hijri date. A locally observed Hijri date can differ by one day.
Why can the Islamic date differ between countries?
Communities may use local crescent sighting, national announcements or established calendar methods. These approaches can begin a Hijri month on different evenings.
When does an Islamic date begin?
An Islamic date begins at sunset, not at midnight. The evening therefore belongs to the next Hijri day even while the civil date changes later.
How do I view another month?
Use the previous and next controls above the calendar. Select Today whenever you want to return to the current month and highlighted date.
Can I use this calendar for Ramadan and Eid?
Use it to plan ahead, then confirm the beginning of Ramadan, Eid and Dhul Hijjah with a trusted local mosque or authorised moon-sighting announcement.
How can I convert an older or future date?
Open the Islamic Date Converter to convert a chosen Gregorian date to Hijri, or a Hijri date to its corresponding Gregorian date.
