Calculated calendars can differ by a day from dates announced after a local moon sighting. Islamic days begin at sunset, so each Hijri date starts on the evening before the Gregorian date shown.

How to use the Hijri Calendar
See today's Hijri date at the top; the calendar opens on the current Islamic month.
Move between months with the arrows (or the left and right arrow keys), or pick a month and year and press Show month.
Choose the method: Umm al-Qura for the official Saudi calendar, or Tabular for the arithmetic Islamic calendar.
Read each day: the large number is the Hijri day and the small one is the Gregorian date; holidays are labeled.
Print the month or download it as a CSV for a spreadsheet or planner.
The 12 months of the Hijri calendar
Each Hijri month starts with the new crescent moon and lasts 29 or 30 days. Four months (Muharram, Rajab, Dhu al-Qadah and Dhu al-Hijjah) are traditionally called the sacred months.

How the dates are calculated
Umm al-Qura dates come from the Umm al-Qura tables built into modern browsers (the official calendar of Saudi Arabia, available for 1300–1600 AH). Outside that range, and when you choose Tabular, the calendar uses the arithmetic Islamic calendar: months alternate 30 and 29 days, and in 11 years of every 30-year cycle (years 2, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 18, 21, 24, 26 and 29) Dhu al-Hijjah gets a 30th day, giving 10,631 days per cycle. Its epoch is 16 July 622 in the Julian calendar.
A quick rule of thumb: Gregorian year ≈ Hijri year × 0.97 + 622, and Hijri year ≈ (Gregorian year − 622) ÷ 0.97. For example, 1448 AH runs from mid-2026 to mid-2027.
Tips for planning with the Islamic calendar
For Ramadan and Eid, plan with the calculated date but be ready to shift by one day when your community announces the moon sighting.
Remember that Islamic days start at sunset: a fast on the Day of Arafah starts at dawn on the Gregorian date shown, but the night prayers of Laylat al-Qadr are on the evening before.
Use the CSV download to put a whole Hijri month into a spreadsheet, school timetable or shift planner.
To convert a single date in either direction, use the Hijri date converter.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Hijri calendar?
The Hijri or Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar of 12 months of 29 or 30 days, about 354 or 355 days a year. Year 1 AH (Anno Hegirae) begins with the year of the Prophet Muhammad's migration (Hijra) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. It is used to set Ramadan, the two Eids, Hajj and other religious dates.
What is the difference between Umm al-Qura and the tabular calendar?
Umm al-Qura is the official calendar of Saudi Arabia, based on astronomical calculation of the new moon as seen from Mecca. The tabular calendar uses a fixed arithmetic rule: a 30-year cycle with 11 leap years in which the last month gets 30 days. The two usually agree but can differ by a day.
Why might my local mosque's date differ from this calendar?
Many communities begin each month only after the new crescent moon is sighted locally, and others follow a different calculation. Sighting depends on weather and location, so the start of Ramadan or Eid can come a day earlier or later than any calculated calendar.
When does an Islamic day begin?
An Islamic day begins at sunset. So 1 Ramadan, for example, begins on the evening before the Gregorian date shown, and the first Tarawih prayer is that night. The calendar lists the daytime Gregorian date that matches each Hijri date.
Why do Ramadan and Eid move every year?
Because 12 lunar months add up to about 354 days, 11 days shorter than the 365-day solar year, Islamic dates move about 11 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar each year and pass through all seasons in roughly 33 years.
What are the white days?
The white days (Ayyam al-Bid) are the 13th, 14th and 15th of each Hijri month, when the moon is near full. Many Muslims choose to fast on these days. They are marked with a small dot on the calendar.
Can I print the Islamic calendar?
Yes. Click Print this month to print only the calendar grid with its holidays, or choose Save as PDF in the print dialog to keep a copy.
