Today’s date in the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, read live from your device.
The big date at the top of this page is today’s Hijri date, read live from the Umm al-Qura calendar built into your device — the same calendar used officially in Saudi Arabia.
Hijri months begin with the sighting of the new moon. Countries that follow local sighting (such as Pakistan’s Ruet-e-Hilal announcements) can start a month a day earlier or later than the calculated Umm al-Qura calendar, especially around Ramadan and the two Eids.
Traditionally the Islamic day begins at sunset (Maghrib). Calendar dates on this page follow the civil convention used by digital calendars, changing at midnight; during Ramadan evenings many people check both.
29 or 30, depending on the moon. This page shows the current month’s length according to the Umm al-Qura calendar.
The page reads today’s date from your device clock and converts it with the Umm al-Qura calendar built into your browser (the Intl islamic-umalqura calendar) — the calculated calendar used officially in Saudi Arabia. No server and no lookup table is involved: the conversion happens on your device, and yesterday’s and tomorrow’s Hijri dates are shown alongside, so you can see exactly where the day boundary falls.
On Saturday 7 November 2026 the page shows 27 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH in big type, with “Yesterday — 26 Jumada al-Ula” and “Tomorrow — 28 Jumada al-Ula” beside it, and the Gregorian date and weekday (Saturday) underneath.
The Umm al-Qura (calculated) calendar provided by your browser. Some apps instead use the older arithmetic (tabular) Islamic calendar, which can run one day different — for 7 November 2026 the tabular calendar gives 28 Jumada al-Ula where Umm al-Qura gives 27. Neither is a mistake; they are two different reckoning systems.
This page is today-only by design. For any other date, open the Hijri Calendar page and step to the month you want — every cell there shows the Gregorian and Hijri dates together, which works for birthdays, anniversaries and historical dates alike.
A Hijri year is twelve lunar months — about 354 days — while a Gregorian year follows the sun at about 365 days. The Islamic year therefore ends roughly 11 days earlier each Gregorian year, and Ramadan and the two Eids travel through all four seasons over a cycle of about 33 years.
For religious observances, follow your local announcement — this page carries the same advice in its own note. Local authorities may follow the sighting of the moon rather than the calculated calendar, especially for Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, and a difference of one day is normal.
Yes, once it has loaded. The conversion is performed by your own browser from your device’s clock, so the date displays correctly even with no signal — just make sure your device’s date itself is set correctly.
