Date in Riyadh time. You can switch to your device’s time zone in Settings.
“Today” is determined in Riyadh time (UTC+3) and shown on both calendars:
the Hijri date on the Umm al-Qura calendar, used for civil purposes in Saudi Arabia, as built into modern browsers;
the Gregorian date.
The date rolls over automatically at midnight without reloading the page, and you can switch to your device’s time zone in Settings.
When does a Hijri day begin?
In civil use, printed calendars and transactions, the Hijri date changes at midnight, exactly like the Gregorian date. In religious reckoning a Hijri day begins at sunset, which is why the first night of Ramadan is the evening before its first day.
Numeric formats
Each date is shown in full, such as “12 Rabi al-Akhir 1448 AH”, and numerically as day/month/year, such as “12/04/1448”, the order used on forms and documents in Saudi Arabia.
It is shown at the top of the page on the Umm al-Qura calendar, the official calendar in Saudi Arabia, in full and numeric form, with the month’s name, number and length.
Is the Arabic date the same as the Hijri or Islamic date?
Yes. “Arabic date”, “Islamic date” and “Hijri date” all mean the date on the lunar Hijri calendar, which Saudi Arabia keeps with the Umm al-Qura calendar.
When does the Hijri date change?
In civil use and printed calendars the Hijri date changes at midnight, like the Gregorian date, and that is what this page uses. In Islamic law the Hijri day begins at sunset.
Why might another source show a different Hijri date?
Some calendars do not use Umm al-Qura, and the start of Ramadan, Shawwal and Dhu al-Hijjah is announced after moon sighting and can differ from the calendar by a day.
