Hijri and Gregorian dates, age, days between dates and countdowns
Daftary’s date tools use the official Umm al-Qura calendar to convert between Hijri and Gregorian dates, and calculate age and the time between any two dates in years, months, weeks and days.
There are also countdowns to the dates people wait for: Ramadan and Eid, Saudi payday and the school holidays.
Many countries start each Hijri month by sighting the new moon, while Umm al-Qura is an astronomical calendar adopted in Saudi Arabia, so it can differ by one day from another country’s announcement.
A Hijri year has 354 or 355 days and a Gregorian year 365 or 366, so the difference is about 11 days a year — which is why Ramadan comes earlier every year. See the article on the Hijri vs Gregorian year.
Yes, with the Hijri age calculator: it converts your birth date to Hijri and gives your age in Hijri years next to your Gregorian age.
