About the Hijri Calendar in Iraq

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

Iraq uses Arabia Standard Time throughout the country. For this reason, this country page uses Asia/Baghdad 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 Iraq page.

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