What is today’s Hijri date?
The Hijri date shown today is Wednesday, Dhuʻl-Hijjah 3, 1447 AH. Its Gregorian match is Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
The page also includes a complete monthly Islamic calendar view so visitors can move beyond today and open any nearby date, week, or month when planning ahead.
What is the difference between Hijri and Gregorian calendars?
The Hijri calendar is the Islamic lunar calendar, while the Gregorian calendar follows the solar year. That is why Hijri months move through the seasons across the years, while major Islamic occasions stay tied to the lunar cycle.
Seeing the Gregorian match helps visitors connect Islamic dates to work schedules, travel plans, school calendars, and everyday appointments.
What is the current Hijri month?
The current Hijri month shown now is Dhuʻl-Hijjah, and the current Hijri year is 1447 AH.
The Hijri months are Muharram, Safar, Rabi al-Awwal, Rabi al-Thani, Jumada al-Awwal, Jumada al-Thani, Rajab, Shaban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhu al-Qadah, Dhu al-Hijjah.
The interactive calendar at the top of the page lets visitors move through those months instead of staying limited to the current one.
Why can the Hijri date differ between countries?
A small difference may appear between countries or institutions at the start of a Hijri month because the local authority may rely on moon sighting, calculation, or a local official announcement.
This page is a useful public reference, while the official local announcement still matters in the first days of major Hijri months and key religious occasions.
How does this help with prayer times?
Many visitors want the Hijri date together with prayer times, especially in Ramadan, Dhul Hijjah, and around Eid. That is why this page works well as a starting point before moving to the city or mosque page.
Once the date is clear, the local city page gives the next layer: prayer times, adhan, qibla direction, and the next prayer.
When should you switch to the city page?
If you only need the date, this page is enough to start. If you also need today’s prayer times, adhan, qibla, or a local mosque, the city page is the natural next step.
When local context matters after that, move to the relevant city or mosque page for the place you actually follow.
