The 12 Hijri months

A Hijri year is about 354 days (355 in a leap year), with 11 leap years in every 30-year cycle. That is why Hijri dates move about 10–11 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar each year.

Please note: This is a calculated reference using the Umm al-Qura calendar. For Ramadan, Eid, and Hajj, follow your local official moon-sighting announcement — it may differ by one day.

Frequently asked questions

Why can the Hijri date differ by one day from my local calendar?

The Hijri calendar is based on the moon. Different countries and mosques use different moon-sighting announcements, while this converter uses the calculated Umm al-Qura calendar. A one-day difference from a local sighting announcement is normal and expected.

What calendar does this converter use?

The calculated Umm al-Qura calendar, as built into modern browsers. It is a practical reference for planning, not a replacement for your local official moon-sighting announcement for Ramadan, Eid, or Hajj.

How long is a Hijri year?

About 354 days in a normal year and 355 days in a leap year. There are 11 leap years in every 30-year cycle, which is why Hijri dates move about 10 to 11 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar every year.

Can I convert a Hijri date of birth to Gregorian?

Yes. Enter the Hijri day, month, and year in the second converter. It finds the Gregorian date that matches that Hijri date on the Umm al-Qura calendar.

What are the Hijri months?

Muharram, Safar, Rabi al-Awwal, Rabi al-Thani, Jumada al-Awwal, Jumada al-Thani, Rajab, Shaban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhul-Qidah, and Dhul-Hijjah. Ramadan is the 9th month, the month of fasting.
