Understanding the Hijri (Islamic) Calendar
The Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar based on the cycles of the moon. It consists of 12 months, beginning with Muharram and ending with Dhu al-Hijjah. Islamic years are counted from the year 622 AD, marking the Hijra—the migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Mecca to Medina.
Understanding the Gregorian Calendar
The Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar based on the earth’s orbit around the sun. It has 365 days (366 in leap years) and is the international standard for civil use.
How Islamic Date Conversion Works
Because the lunar calendar is about 11 days shorter than the solar calendar, dates do not line up statically. Our date converter uses precise calculations to convert years and days between the two systems, helping you plan for Islamic holidays, historical research, and community events.
