About today’s Hijri date
What Islamic month is it?
The current Islamic month is shown in today’s dynamic Hijri date above. Visit the Islamic months guide for the month’s meaning, place in the year, significant dates, and recommended acts.
Why can today’s Islamic date vary?
The Islamic calendar follows lunar months. Communities may use local or global crescent observation, astronomical visibility criteria, or a calculated civil calendar. As a result, the locally observed date can differ from this calculated reference.
When does the Islamic date change?
An Islamic day begins at sunset. The Gregorian calendar day changes at midnight, so the two dates do not turn over at the same time.
