What is Hijri–Gregorian Date Converter?
A Hijri-Gregorian Date Converter translates dates between the Islamic lunar calendar (Hijri, AH) and the Gregorian calendar (CE). The Hijri calendar counts years from the Prophet Muhammad’s migration to Medina in 622 CE and its 12 lunar months total about 354 days, so it shifts roughly 11 days earlier each solar year. Enter a date such as 1448-03-10 or 2026-08-24 and the tool instantly shows both equivalents with the weekday, validates real calendar dates, and includes an Islamic New Year reference table. Everything runs locally in your browser using the tabular Kuwaiti algorithm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this Hijri date converter?
It uses the tabular Kuwaiti algorithm, the standard arithmetical Islamic calendar. Its results match the islamic-civil calendar used by most software, but dates determined by actual moon sighting may differ by about one day either way.
Why does the Islamic year start about 11 days earlier every solar year?
A Hijri year of 12 lunar months totals about 354 days — around 11 days shorter than the 365-day Gregorian year. That is why Hijri months drift through all seasons over a roughly 33-year cycle.
What do AH and CE mean?
AH (Anno Hegirae) counts years since the Prophet Muhammad’s migration (Hijra) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. CE (Common Era) is the standard Gregorian year numbering. For example, 1447 AH began in mid-2025 CE.
What happens if I enter a day that does not exist, like the 30th of Safar?
The tool validates real Hijri dates and shows an error message when the day exceeds that month’s length, since Hijri months alternate between 29 and 30 days depending on the year.
