Hijri date converter
Convert in either direction, then enter your birth date to see your age in Hijri years.
Your Hijri age
These tools calculate; they do not rule. Where your mosque, local authority or scholar says otherwise, follow them.
How it works
Conversion uses the Umm al-Qura calendar built into your browser. Hijri months are 29 or 30 days, following the moon, which is why there is no fixed formula and a converter is needed.
Because a Hijri year is about 354 days, your Hijri age is higher than your Gregorian age — roughly one extra year for every 33.
Questions
Can the converted date be a day out?
Yes, for dates that depend on local moon sighting. The calculated calendar is exact for Saudi Arabia and a close guide elsewhere.
What is my Hijri birthday used for?
Nothing obligatory — some people mark it, and it is also how some rulings count ages, such as the lunar year of zakat.
