About the Hijri Calendar in Sri Lanka

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

Sri Lanka uses Sri Lanka Standard Time throughout the country. For this reason, this country page uses Asia/Colombo 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 Sri Lanka page.

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