Computed from the Umm al-Qura calendar. The days of Ramadan and the two Eids are announced by religious authorities in each country and can differ by a day. Days until Ramadan has a live countdown.

How the Islamic calendar works

The Islamic, or Hijri, calendar is a purely lunar calendar. Each of its twelve months begins with the new crescent moon and lasts 29 or 30 days, so a year has 354 or 355 days, about 11 fewer than the solar year. It makes no attempt to stay in step with the seasons: Ramadan moves through summer and winter and returns to the same season after about 33 years. Years are counted from the Hijra, the Prophet Muhammad’s emigration from Mecca to Medina, and carry the letters AH, which the US Naval Observatory expands as Anno Hegira. The first day of the calendar, 1 Muharram AH 1, corresponds to Friday, July 16, 622 in the Julian calendar.

Sighting the moon

For religious purposes, many Muslims begin each month when the thin crescent of the new moon is first seen. The moment of the astronomical new moon can be calculated exactly; whether the crescent will be visible on a given evening, from a given place, cannot be known with the same certainty, because it depends on the Moon’s age and altitude, the clearness of the sky and the observer’s position. That is why the start of Ramadan or the day of Eid can differ from one country to another, and why it is announced the evening before.

The Umm al-Qura calendar

Saudi Arabia’s official calendar, Umm al-Qura, is calculated in advance by the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology from astronomical data for Mecca. It is the calendar used for civil purposes in Saudi Arabia and by much software, and it is the one this page shows. Its publisher notes that the dates of religious occasions may differ by one day from actual sighting in some countries. Two examples from official sources: Iran’s calendar authority, the University of Tehran’s Calendar Center, dated March 20, 2026 as 30 Ramadan 1447, while Umm al-Qura already had 1 Shawwal; and Singapore celebrated Hari Raya Puasa (Eid al-Fitr) on March 21, 2026, one day after Umm al-Qura’s 1 Shawwal.

The tabular calendar

A third system ignores the Moon altogether. The tabular Islamic calendar gives the odd months 30 days and the even months 29, and adds a day to the last month in 11 of every 30 years (years 2, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 18, 21, 24, 26 and 29 of the cycle). It is predictable for any date, past or future, and is what some computer systems call the “civil” Islamic calendar; another variant starts one day earlier. On average it keeps close to the Moon, but on any given day it can be a day away from Umm al-Qura, so we show it beside the main date for comparison.

Reading the date

A Hijri date is written day, month, year: 1 Ramadan 1448 AH. In Arabic the same date is written with Arabic-Indic digits, ١ رمضان ١٤٤٨ هـ, where هـ abbreviates هجري (Hijri). Month names have several transliterations: Rabi’ al-Awwal is also Rabi I, Jumada al-Ula is Jumada I or Jumada al-Awwal, and Dhu al-Hijjah is also Dhul-Hijja.

About the dates on this page

We compute Umm al-Qura dates from the month-length table that the Unicode ICU library publishes for 1300–1600 AH, which reproduces the published Umm al-Qura calendar; outside that range we fall back to the tabular calendar. The date changes at midnight in your time zone, like the Gregorian date shown with it. If your community follows a different start of the month, the ±1 day buttons shift the displayed date and remember your choice on this device.

Questions

What is the Islamic date today?

The date at the top of this page is today’s date in the Umm al-Qura calendar, the official calendar of Saudi Arabia, worked out for your time zone, with the same date in Arabic script below it. Where the month is started by local moon sighting, the date can be one day behind; use the adjustment buttons to match your local calendar.

Why is the Islamic date different in my country?

Because there are several ways to start a month. Saudi Arabia’s Umm al-Qura calendar is computed in advance from astronomy; many countries and communities begin each month when the new crescent is first seen, which depends on weather and position; and some software uses a purely arithmetic “tabular” calendar. The three can differ by a day, sometimes two.

How do I convert a Gregorian date to Hijri?

Enter the date in the converter above. It gives the Umm al-Qura date for 1300–1600 AH (1882–2174 CE) and the tabular date for any year. To go the other way, choose a Hijri day, month and year.

What is Jumada al-Ula?

The fifth month of the Islamic calendar (جمادى الأولى), also written Jumada al-Awwal or Jumada I. It is followed by Jumada al-Akhirah (Jumada II). Like every Hijri month it has 29 or 30 days.

How many days are in an Islamic year?

354 or 355. Twelve lunar months of 29 or 30 days fall about 11 days short of the solar year, so Islamic dates move through the seasons, a full cycle in about 33 years.

Is today Eid?

If today is 1 Shawwal (Eid al-Fitr) or 10 Dhu al-Hijjah (Eid al-Adha) in the Umm al-Qura calendar, the line under the date says so. The table of key dates lists the next ones; the actual days are announced by each country’s authorities.
