Umm al-Qura is Saudi Arabia's calculated civil calendar for 1 Muharram 1420 AH to 29 Dhu al-Hijjah 1450 AH (17 April 1999 to 13 May 2029). Dates can differ by a day from local moon-sighting announcements; do not use them to decide Ramadan, Eid or Hajj. The month data matches independent datasets but has not been directly verified against the official KACST service.
How this calculator works
Inputs
- Hijri month and year (month, year (AH))
- The month shown in the calendar, 1 to 12 and a year from 1420 to 1450.
- Gregorian date (date (YYYY-MM-DD))
- A date to convert to its Hijri equivalent.
Results
- Hijri date
- Day, month name and year (AH) of the selected day.
- Gregorian date
- The matching Gregorian day, month and year, and the weekday.
Formulas
Lookup, not a formula
Each Hijri month start is looked up in a table of calculated Umm al-Qura month starts; a month is 29 or 30 days long as the table says.
Worked example
The Gregorian date 1 October 2026 (a Thursday) is 20 Rabi' al-Thani 1448 AH.
Assumptions
- Dates come from the Umm al-Qura calendar, Saudi Arabia's calculated civil calendar. It is not a moon-sighting calendar and can differ by a day from local announcements, so it must not be used to decide the start of Ramadan, Eid or Hajj.
- Only 1 Muharram 1420 AH (17 April 1999) to 29 Dhu al-Hijjah 1450 AH (13 May 2029) is supported. Dates outside this range are refused, never estimated.
- The Gregorian date shown for a Hijri day is the calendar day on which that Hijri day mostly falls (the Hijri day itself begins at the previous sunset).
- The month data was cross-checked against independent datasets (hijridate, ICU/CLDR and ummalquracalendar.org), which agree on every month start in this range. It has NOT been directly verified against the official KACST Umm al-Qura service, whose API requires authenticated signing.
- Month and weekday names are in English. Arabic, right-to-left layout and other languages are not supported yet.
