Hijri and gregorian calendars

Hijri and Gregorian Calendars Explained

The Islamic calendar (hijri calendar) is a lunar-based system used in many Islamic countries. It consists of 12 lunar months, but since the lunar year is about 10–12 days shorter than the solar Gregorian calendar, the two calendars do not align exactly.

The Gregorian calendar is the internationally recognized calendar, used for civil purposes worldwide. It is a solar-based system that follows a 365-day cycle, except for leap years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hijri and Gregorian Date Conversion

Converting dates between the Islamic (Hijri) calendar and the Gregorian calendar can be confusing because one is lunar and the other is solar. This FAQ answers common questions about Hijri–Gregorian conversion, calculation methods, and key Islamic events to help you find accurate dates quickly

A Hijri to Gregorian converter is a tool that transforms dates from the Islamic (Hijri or Arabic) calendar into the Gregorian calendar. The converter accounts for the lunar nature of the Hijri calendar, which makes it approximately 10-12 days shorter than the solar Gregorian year.

Converting Hijri to Gregorian dates is simple:

  1. Enter the Hijri day, month, and year into the converter above
  2. Click the convert button
  3. The tool instantly calculates and displays the corresponding Gregorian date

The conversion uses standard astronomical calculations for accurate results.

Yes. Qweem allows bidirectional conversion—you can convert Hijri dates to Gregorian and Gregorian dates to Hijri using the same date converter tool. This makes it perfect for planning Islamic holidays or converting historical dates in either direction.

To convert today's Gregorian date to Hijri:

  • Use the Gregorian to Hijri converter section on this page
  • The converter automatically shows today's Islamic date based on the current lunar cycle
  • You can also enter any specific Gregorian date to see its Hijri equivalent

A Hijri calendar converter (also called an Islamic calendar converter or Arabic calendar converter) is a tool that converts dates between the Hijri lunar calendar and the Gregorian solar calendar in both directions. It allows you to:

  • Convert Hijri dates to Gregorian dates
  • Convert Gregorian dates to Hijri dates
  • Calculate dates for Islamic holidays and events
  • Convert historical Islamic dates for research

The Hijri to Gregorian conversion is highly accurate and uses standard astronomical calculations commonly accepted worldwide for civil and historical date conversion. Minor variations (±1 day) may occur depending on:

  • Local moon sighting methods used in different regions
  • Whether a region follows calculated or observation-based dates
  • Differences in time zones and geographical locations

The Hijri calendar follows lunar months, making each Islamic year about 354-355 days long—approximately 10 to 12 days shorter than the Gregorian year. This causes Hijri dates to move earlier in the Gregorian calendar annually. For example:

  • Ramadan occurs about 10-12 days earlier each Gregorian year
  • Over 33 years, a Hijri date completes a full cycle through the Gregorian calendar
  • This is why Islamic holidays shift dates every year

To find the Gregorian date for any specific Hijri date (such as 13 Jumada al-Thani 64 AH):

  1. Enter the Hijri day (13)
  2. Select the Hijri month (Jumada al-Thani)
  3. Enter the Hijri year (64)
  4. Click convert to see the corresponding Gregorian date

The converter works for any historical or future Hijri date instantly.

Yes. The Hijri to Gregorian calculator works for historical Islamic dates from early Islamic history, including:

  • Dates found in biographies and historical records
  • Religious texts and scholarly works
  • Events from the time of the Prophet Muhammad and beyond
  • Dates used in Islamic manuscripts and documents

This makes it an essential tool for historians, researchers, and students of Islamic history.

Absolutely. You can use the Islamic calendar converter to find future Gregorian dates for Islamic holidays and important dates such as:

  • Ramadan - the holy month of fasting
  • Eid al-Fitr - the festival marking the end of Ramadan
  • Eid al-Adha - the festival of sacrifice
  • Islamic New Year (1 Muharram)
  • Mawlid (Prophet's birthday)
  • Any other significant Islamic dates

This helps with planning and scheduling religious observances and celebrations.

"Miladi" (also spelled "Milady") is an Arabic term for the Gregorian calendar. It comes from the word "milad" meaning "birth," referring to the birth of Jesus Christ on which the Gregorian calendar is based.

A Hijri to Miladi converter converts Islamic (Hijri) dates into Gregorian (Miladi) dates—the same function as a Hijri to Gregorian converter. This term is commonly used in:

  • Arabic-speaking countries
  • Middle Eastern regions
  • Muslim-majority nations that use both calendar systems

These terms refer to the same calendar system:

  • Hijri calendar - named after the Hijra (Prophet Muhammad's migration from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE)
  • Islamic calendar - used by Muslims worldwide for religious purposes
  • Arabic calendar - commonly called this because it uses Arabic month names

All three names describe the same lunar calendar consisting of 12 months based on moon phases, totaling approximately 354-355 days per year.

Yes. This tool functions as a complete Hijri date calculator that allows you to:

  • Calculate the Gregorian equivalent of any Hijri date
  • Calculate the Hijri equivalent of any Gregorian date
  • Find dates for upcoming Islamic events
  • Convert historical dates between both calendars
  • Determine today's date in both calendar systems

It serves as both a converter and a calculator for all your Hijri and Gregorian date needs.
