Hijri to Gregorian Converter: frequently asked questions

Which Hijri calendar does this converter use?

The Umm al-Qura calendar, the official calendar of Saudi Arabia. The conversion uses the Umm al-Qura data built into your browser's date engine, so no server lookup is needed.

Why can the result differ by one day from the announced date?

Because Umm al-Qura is a calculated calendar, while the start of months such as Ramadan, Shawwal and Dhu al-Hijjah is often confirmed by moon sighting. For religious occasions, follow the official announcement in your country.

Which Hijri years can I convert?

Years 1300 to 1600 AH, roughly 1882 to 2174 CE. A year outside that range shows an error asking for a date within the supported range.

What happens if I enter day 30 of a 29-day month?

The converter shows an error instead of guessing. Umm al-Qura months have 29 or 30 days, so try day 29 or check the month in the original document.
