Why Do You Need to Convert from Hijri to Gregorian?

- Official Documents: Aligning contracts, visas, and legal paperwork.
- Salary and Banking: Knowing exact payout dates in standard banking systems.
- Travel and Booking: Booking flights or accommodations that strictly operate on the Gregorian timeline.
- Medical Appointments: Ensuring health records match international dating systems.
What is the Core Difference Between the Calendars?
The Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar based on the Earth's revolution around the sun, lasting approximately 365.24 days. In contrast, the Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar based on the moon's phases, lasting about 354 or 355 days. This creates an annual difference of around 11 days, which is why Islamic months shift backwards through the Gregorian seasons each year.

How the Umm al-Qura Calendar Ensures Accuracy
Our tool relies entirely on the Umm al-Qura Calendar algorithm. This system, adopted as the official Islamic Calendar in Saudi Arabia and widely respected globally, uses precise astronomical calculations for the coordinates of Mecca to predict the birth of the new moon. This minimizes the margin of error significantly compared to basic tabular Islamic calendars.
Why Might Converted Dates Differ by One Day?
Because the Hijri calendar fundamentally depends on the actual lunar sighting (the physical observation of the new moon), astronomical calculations—no matter how precise—can sometimes differ by one day from the official declaration of a new month in your local country. If you are calculating a date for fasting or Eid, always consult your local Islamic authority.
