About the Hijri Calendar in Afghanistan

The Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar made up of twelve Islamic months. It is widely used in Afghanistan to identify Islamic dates and important religious occasions, including Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and other significant dates.

Afghanistan uses Afghanistan Time throughout the country. For this reason, this country page uses Asia/Kabul as its reference time zone when determining the current Gregorian date.

The corresponding Hijri date is then retrieved using the selected calendar configuration for the Afghanistan page.

This page is designed specifically for Afghanistan rather than displaying a visitor’s own local Hijri date.
