How It Works
Three simple steps to finding your Hijri date of birth.
1
Enter Gregorian Date
Provide your standard date of birth using the solar Gregorian calendar you use every day.
2
Adjust for Sunset
The Islamic day begins at Maghrib (sunset). If you were born after sunset, add 1 day to adjust.
3
Get Your Hijri Date
Instantly view your precise date, month, and year of birth according to the Islamic lunar calendar.
Understanding Your Islamic Birthday
1. How does the Hijri Calendar work?
The Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Because it is roughly 11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar year, Islamic dates shift backward each year relative to the Gregorian calendar.
2. Why is the time of birth important?
In the Islamic calendar, a new day begins at sunset, not at midnight. Therefore, your Hijri birthday might change depending on the time of day you were born:
- Before Sunset: Your Hijri date remains standard.
- After Sunset: You were technically born on the next Islamic day, so you should add 1 day to the adjustment field.
3. The Significance of the Hijri Year
The Hijri calendar begins with the Hijrahβthe migration of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. Knowing your Islamic birthday connects you to this rich historical timeline and helps you track important religious milestones.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Hijri dates and calculations.
We use standard astronomical algorithms to convert the solar Gregorian calendar to the lunar Hijri calendar. The exact date can sometimes vary slightly based on actual moon sightings.
The Islamic day begins at sunset (Maghrib). If you were born in the evening after sunset, your Islamic birthday is actually the next day in the Hijri calendar.
While cultural practices vary widely and many do not actively celebrate birthdays, knowing your Hijri birthday is culturally and historically significant for many Muslims to mark their age in lunar years.
A Hijri year consists of 12 lunar months and is roughly 354 or 355 days long. This means it is about 11 days shorter than the standard Gregorian solar year.
