The converter uses the Islamic calendars built into your browser (Umm al-Qura, used in Saudi Arabia, and the tabular civil calendar). Local moon sighting in Pakistan, India and elsewhere can make the actual date one day different. Convert between Gregorian and Islamic (Hijri) dates and see today’s Hijri date.
What does this tool do?
Converts between Gregorian and Hijri (Islamic) dates, showing the Hijri day, month and year for any civil date — essential for Ramazan, Hajj and Islamic event planning. Both conversion directions are supported.
Because the math runs locally, the Hijri Date Converter works offline after the page loads and never queues behind a server — handy during load-shedding or on slow mobile data. There is nothing to install and no account to create; the page is the whole application, ready in the time it takes to open a tab.
The interface keeps things practical: the inputs are “Gregorian date”, “Calendar”, “Day”, “Month” and “Year (AH)”; the “cal” control offers “Umm al-Qura (Saudi)”, “Tabular (civil)” and “Astronomical”; the “hm” control offers “Muharram”, “Safar”, “Rabi al-Awwal”, “Rabi al-Thani”, “Jumada al-Ula”, “Jumada al-Akhirah”, “Rajab” and “Shaban” and more. Results update live as you work — there is no waiting and nothing to submit.

How does it work?
Conversion uses the tabular (astronomical) Islamic calendar algorithm: days are counted from the Hijri epoch (16 July 622 CE) using the 30-year leap cycle (11 leap years), then mapped to the Gregorian calendar. Month lengths follow the arithmetic 29/30-day pattern.
The formula used is the standard one taught and published for this calculation — the tool does not invent methods. Where conventions differ (rounding, day-count, tax treatment), the page follows the common Pakistani practice and says so, so the result matches what local institutions expect.
Use cases in Pakistan
Pakistani life runs on both calendars: Ramazan, Eidain, Muharram and Rabi-ul-Awwal dates, Hajj flight schedules, and moon-sighting announcements all reference Hijri dates. Note the official Pakistani date follows the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee’s moon sighting, which can differ by a day from the astronomical calendar — always confirm religious observances locally.
Families use it for household budgeting and school-fee planning; small businesses for pricing and payroll math; students for everything from BISE numericals to CSS preparation. Wherever the same calculation is repeated monthly — bills, salaries, savings targets — this page replaces the phone-calculator ritual.
Limitations
This is the astronomical/tabular calendar; actual month starts in Pakistan depend on moon sighting and may differ by ±1 day. For religious observance, follow the Ruet-e-Hilal announcement, not the arithmetic date. Historical dates before 622 CE are out of scope.
Assumptions are stated on the page — read them before trusting the headline number for money, health or legal decisions. A calculator amplifies the quality of its inputs: careful numbers in, trustworthy numbers out.
Frequently asked questions
Why does it differ from the announced date?
Pakistan starts Hijri months by moon sighting (Ruet-e-Hilal Committee). The converter uses the astronomical calendar, which can differ by a day. For figures that go into applications or documents, double-check the inputs against the source — the math is exact, but only for the numbers you enter.
What Hijri year is it?
Enter today’s date above — the converter shows the current Hijri year and month instantly. Try varying one input at a time to see which assumption drives the result; that sensitivity check is often more valuable than the headline number.
When is Ramazan 2027?
Convert the expected Gregorian dates above — but confirm with the moon-sighting announcement closer to the time. Save or screenshot the result with its inputs when the figure matters later — reconstructing “what did I enter?” is harder than it sounds.
Is the Islamic calendar lunar?
Yes — 12 lunar months of 29–30 days make a 354/355-day year, which is why Ramazan moves ~11 days earlier each Gregorian year. For figures that go into applications or documents, double-check the inputs against the source — the math is exact, but only for the numbers you enter.
Is my data uploaded or stored?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — what you type or paste never leaves your device, is never sent to a server, and is never stored. Closing the tab removes all trace. Try varying one input at a time to see which assumption drives the result; that sensitivity check is often more valuable than the headline number.
Is it really free? Do I need an account?
Yes, free, and no account needed. Open the page and use it — no sign-up, no trial, no watermark on results. Save or screenshot the result with its inputs when the figure matters later — reconstructing “what did I enter?” is harder than it sounds.
