Today's Hijri date is shown live at the top of this page, pulled directly from the Aladhan API. The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar made up of 12 months totalling 354โ€“355 days, roughly 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year.
When does Ramadan start in the UK this year?
The Start of Ramadan card in the Events section above shows the calculated date and a live countdown. The exact date is confirmed closer to the time by moon sighting.
When is Eid ul-Fitr?
Eid ul-Fitr falls on the 1st of Shawwal, marking the end of Ramadan. Check the Events section above for the calculated date and countdown.
When is Eid ul-Adha?
Eid ul-Adha falls on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, during the Hajj season. See the Events section above for the calculated date and countdown.
What are the 12 months of the Islamic calendar in order?
Muharram, Safar, Rabi' al-Awwal, Rabi' al-Thani, Jumada al-Awwal, Jumada al-Thani, Rajab, Sha'ban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhul Qa'dah, and Dhul Hijjah. See the full breakdown in the 12 Months section above.
How do I convert a Hijri date to Gregorian, or vice versa?
Use the converter tool in the Hijri Calendar section above โ€” pick a Gregorian date and it instantly shows the matching Hijri date, calculated live via the Aladhan API.
Why is the Islamic calendar shorter than the Gregorian calendar?
The Hijri calendar follows the moon's cycle rather than the sun's, so each year is about 10โ€“12 days shorter than a Gregorian year. Over time this means Islamic months shift earlier through the seasons.
What is Laylat al-Bara'ah?
Laylat al-Bara'ah is the night of the 15th of Sha'ban, regarded by many as a night of mercy and forgiveness, often marked with extra worship and dua.
