How to Convert Hijri Dates to Gregorian
Converting Hijri (Islamic) dates to Gregorian dates is essential for Muslims living in countries that primarily use the Gregorian calendar. Whether you're tracking a child's Hijri birthday, planning for Ramadan, or remembering a loved one's anniversary, accurate date conversion ensures you never miss these meaningful moments.
Understanding the Islamic Calendar
The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Each month begins with the sighting of the new moon. Because the lunar year is shorter than the solar year, Hijri dates move approximately 11 days earlier on the Gregorian calendar each year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a Hijri date to Gregorian?
Enter the Hijri day (1-30), select the Hijri month, and enter the Hijri year in our converter above. Click "Convert Date" to instantly see the corresponding Gregorian date. You can also toggle the Maghrib (sunset) option if the event occurred after sunset.
Why do Hijri dates change each year on the Gregorian calendar?
The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is a lunar calendar with 354-355 days per year, while the Gregorian calendar is solar with 365-366 days. This difference of about 11 days causes Hijri dates to shift earlier on the Gregorian calendar each year.
What is the Maghrib (sunset) adjustment?
In the Islamic calendar, a new day begins at Maghrib (sunset), not midnight. If an event occurred after sunset but before midnight, it actually happened on the next Hijri day. Our converter accounts for this with the Maghrib toggle.
Which calculation method should I use?
Different Muslim communities use different calculation methods. Dawoodi Bohra uses precise astronomical calculations, Umm al-Qura is the Saudi official calendar, ISNA is common in North America, and Muslim World League is an international standard. Choose the method your community follows.
Can I save the converted date to my calendar?
Yes! After converting a date, click "Save This Date" to create a recurring event in HijriMinder. The date will automatically sync to your calendar (Google or Microsoft), and you'll receive reminders before each occurrence.
