About the Hijri Calendar
The Hijri calendar is an Islamic lunar calendar based on the moon's cycles, used throughout the Muslim world to determine important religious dates such as Ramadan, Hajj season, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha. The Hijri calendar began with the migration (Hijra) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE.
The Hijri calendar consists of 12 lunar months, with each month lasting between 29 and 30 days based on the moon cycle. A Hijri year contains 354 or 355 days, making it approximately 10-11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. Therefore, Islamic occasions advance in the Gregorian calendar each year.
The twelve Hijri months are: Muharram, Safar, Rabi' al-awwal, Rabi' al-thani, Jumada al-awwal, Jumada al-thani, Rajab, Sha'ban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhu al-Qi'dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah. Among these months, four are sacred: Muharram, Rajab, Dhu al-Qi'dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah.
Our interactive calendar uses the Aladhan API to provide accurate conversion between Hijri and Gregorian dates. The calendar is based on the Umm al-Qura method used in Saudi Arabia, taking into account your geographic location and timezone to display correct dates.
Uses of the Hijri Calendar: Knowing when Ramadan starts, determining Hajj and Umrah dates, finding out when Islamic holidays occur, identifying blessed days like Arafat Day and Ashura, and organizing religious and social events in the Muslim world.
