The Hijri calendar sets the rhythm for a Muslim year: when Ramadan begins, when Hajj takes place, when the new year turns. This site exists for the small daily question — what Hijri date is it today? — and for the bigger ones around it, like converting a birthday or counting down to Eid.
Every date here is calculated two ways: the tabular arithmetic calendar, and Saudi Arabia's Umm al-Qura calendar. They usually agree and sometimes differ by a day, because in the end each month begins when the new crescent is actually seen. That is why every tool on this site carries the same honest line: this is the calculated date, and your country's moon-sighting announcement has the final say.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Hijri date today?
Today, Tuesday 13 October 2026, is 2 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH (02/05/1448) on the Umm al-Qura calendar used by Saudi Arabia. On the tabular calendar it is 1 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH. Local moon sighting can shift it by a day in your country.
What is the Islamic date today in Arabic?
In Arabic, today's Hijri date is ٢ جمادى الأولى ١٤٤٨ هـ.
What Hijri year is it now?
It is 1448 AH. The Hijri year has 354 or 355 days, about 11 fewer than the Gregorian year.
Is this Hijri date accurate?
It is the calculated date. The observed Hijri date depends on the moon sighting in your country and may differ by a day or two — for Ramadan and Eid, always follow your local announcement.
Why does the date differ from my country's announcement?
Countries start Islamic months on different days because the crescent moon becomes visible at different times around the world. This site shows the calculated date; your moon-sighting committee has the final say.
What is the difference between Tabular and Umm al-Qura?
Tabular is a pure arithmetic calendar with a 30-year cycle — the same everywhere. Umm al-Qura is Saudi Arabia's official calendar, based on moon-visibility calculations for Mecca. Our methodology page explains both.
