Hijri ↔ Gregorian Converter

About Hijri ↔ Gregorian Converter

The Hijri and Gregorian Date Converter changes an English date to the Islamic date and an Islamic date to the English date, with the weekday and month names in English and Urdu. It also shows today in both calendars.

The base calendar is Umm al-Qura. Pakistan follows local moon sighting, so the Hijri date can be one or two days behind Saudi Arabia. A setting lets you choose the same date as Saudi Arabia or one or two days later. The official start of a month is announced after moon sighting, so confirm important dates.
