Frequently asked questions
What is today's Hijri date?
The converter above shows today's date in the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, based on the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia. The Hijri year has about 354 days across 12 lunar months.
Why do Hijri dates differ between countries?
Islamic months traditionally begin with the sighting of the new crescent moon, and sighting conditions differ by location. Calculated calendars like Umm al-Qura may therefore differ by a day from local moon-sighting announcements.
When is the next Ramadan?
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin around early February 2027, subject to moon sighting. See the events list above and our Ramadan page for live countdowns.
