Frequently Asked Questions

What is today’s Islamic date?

The Islamic (Hijri) date today follows the lunar Hijri calendar, which began with the migration (Hijrah) of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Makkah to Madinah. Because the Hijri calendar is lunar, each month starts with the sighting of the new moon, so today’s Islamic date can shift by a day depending on your country and the moon-sighting method followed locally.

Why does the Islamic date differ from country to country?

Different countries and Islamic authorities use different methods to confirm the start of a new Hijri month — some rely on local physical moon sighting, others follow astronomical calculations, and some follow the sighting announced in Saudi Arabia. This is why the Islamic date today in Pakistan, for example, can sometimes be one day ahead of or behind the Islamic date today in Saudi Arabia or Indonesia.

How is the Hijri date calculated?

The Hijri calendar has 12 lunar months of 29 or 30 days each, totaling roughly 354 days a year — about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar year. Each month begins at the sighting (or calculated conjunction) of the new crescent moon, which is why the Islamic date shifts earlier each year relative to the Gregorian calendar.

How can I find the Islamic date today for my country?

Select your country from the list on this page to see the Islamic date today for that specific location, based on the moon-sighting method commonly followed there.

Moon-Sighting Disclaimer: The Hijri date shown above is calculated using astronomical estimation and is provided for general reference only.
