About the Hijri Calendar
The Hijri (Islamic) calendar is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. It is used to determine the proper days of Islamic holidays and rituals, such as the annual period of fasting and the time for the Hajj pilgrimage.
- Each month begins with the sighting of the new moon
- The calendar started in 622 CE (year 1 AH)
- Odd months have 30 days, even months have 29 days
- A Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than a Gregorian year
Convert dates between the Gregorian calendar and the lunar Hijri calendar for study, scheduling, Ramadan and Eid planning, and historical reference. Hijri dates can vary by moon sighting and official local calendars, so the result should be treated as a practical estimate unless your country publishes an official date.
