How do I convert a Gregorian date to Hijri?
Enter the Gregorian date and the converter shows the matching Hijri (Islamic) date instantly, using the Umm al-Qura calendar. Tap the swap button to convert the other way — Hijri to Gregorian.
Which Islamic calendar does this use?
The Umm al-Qura calendar — the Saudi standard used across much of the Muslim world. Because months can begin on a local moon sighting, the observed date in your country may differ by a day; confirm locally for religious dates.
Why put the Hijri date on a wedding invitation?
Many Muslim families include both the Hijri and Gregorian dates on a Nikah or Walima invitation, out of tradition and for elders who follow the Islamic calendar. A digital invitation can display both side by side.
Is the Hijri date converter free?
