How it works
This converter uses the Umm al-Qura calendar, the official Hijri calendar of Saudi Arabia, built into modern browsers. It shows today's Hijri date automatically and converts any date in either direction for the years 1301–1599 AH.
Note that the start of some months (especially Ramadan and Shawwal) is confirmed by moon sighting, so the observed date can differ by a day from the calculated calendar.
