Hijri Date Converter
Find today’s Islamic (Hijri) date or convert any date between the Hijri and Gregorian calendars. A moon-sighting adjustment helps match the date announced in Pakistan.
How to use the Hijri Date Converter
- Pick a Gregorian date to see the Hijri date.
- Choose the adjustment — Pakistan is often one day behind the calculated calendar.
- To go the other way, enter a Hijri day, month and year.
Formula
Example
If the calculated calendar shows 1 Ramadan on a Saturday, Ramadan in Pakistan may begin on Sunday after the moon is sighted. Choosing “−1 day” shows the likely local date.
