Hijri Gregorian Date Converter

The Hijri calendar is the Islamic lunar calendar used across Muslim-majority countries. It consists of 12 lunar months totalling 354 or 355 days — about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. Year 1 AH marks the migration (Hijra) of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina.

The Hijri calendar governs Islamic religious observances including Ramadan, Eid Al Fitr, Eid Al Adha, and the Hajj pilgrimage. In Saudi Arabia, it is the official calendar for government documents. UAE and other Gulf states use both calendars officially.

A Gregorian year is approximately 365.25 days while a Hijri year is approximately 354.37 days. This means the Hijri calendar advances about 11 days per Gregorian year, causing Islamic events to rotate through all seasons over a roughly 33-year cycle.
