Common Use Cases

Why Hijri Dates Matter
The Islamic calendar holds deep spiritual significance for Muslims. Many religious observances, including the five pillars of Islam, are tied to specific Hijri dates. Fasting during Ramadan, the Hajj pilgrimage, and the celebration of Eid all follow the lunar calendar established in 622 CE when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated from Mecca to Medina.
The Sunset Distinction
Unlike the Gregorian calendar where days change at midnight, Islamic days begin at Maghrib (sunset). This is why our converter includes a sunset adjustment option. For example, if your child was born at 8 PM on a Tuesday, their Hijri birthday is actually Wednesday's date in the Islamic calendar.
Pro Tip: Save Important Dates

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a Gregorian date to Hijri?
Simply enter your Gregorian date using the date picker in our converter above, then click "Convert Date". The tool will instantly show you the corresponding Hijri (Islamic) date. You can also enable the Maghrib toggle if the event occurred after sunset.
What date format does the converter use?
Our converter accepts Gregorian dates in the standard format (YYYY-MM-DD) through the date picker. The result displays both the formatted Hijri date (e.g., "15 Ramadan 1446") and the numeric format (day/month/year).
Why is the Maghrib (sunset) option important?
In the Islamic calendar, a new day begins at Maghrib (sunset), not midnight. If someone was born at 9 PM, their Hijri birthday is actually the next day. Enabling this option adds one day to account for events that occurred after sunset.
How accurate is this Hijri date converter?
Our converter uses established astronomical algorithms from recognized Islamic organizations. We support 6 calculation methods (Umm al-Qura, ISNA, Muslim World League, Egyptian, Karachi, and Dawoodi Bohra) to match different community standards.
