How to check the Hijri date online?
Search for “today’s Hijri date” (التاريخ الهجري اليوم) or use Islamic calendar apps and sites like (tareekhalyawm.com).
Is the Hijri date the same worldwide?
Not necessarily. Since it is calendared based on moon sightings, some countries may start the new month a day earlier or later than others.
What’s the Hijri date today in Saudi Arabia vs Egypt?
In Saudi Arabia, the date follows the Umm Al-Qura calendar, while Egypt may adjust based on local moon sightings, so the Hijri date today may differ by one day.
Why do some Muslims fast on different days?
Because Islamic months are based on the lunar calendar, countries (or sects) may begin the month at different times depending on whether they follow calculation or visual sighting of the moon.
How accurate is the Umm Al-Qura calendar?
It’s very accurate for civil planning in Saudi Arabia, but for religious acts like fasting or Hajj, some scholars prefer visual sightings. That’s why Hijri dates may vary elsewhere.
Can I trust the Hijri date shown by Google or mobile apps?
Not always. Some apps use fixed algorithms, not country-specific calendars. It’s better to check trusted sources like tareekhalyawm.com or your local mosque.
Do Shia and Sunni follow the same Hijri calendar?
Not always. Shia Muslims may follow different marjaiya authorities like Ayatollah Sistani, which can result in a different start date for the Hijri month.
Why is today’s Islamic date not the same everywhere?
Because the Islamic calendar is based on the moon, and sighting it depends on the location. This causes some countries to be a day ahead or behind others.
What’s the difference between Hijri and Gregorian years?
Hijri is lunar (354–355 days), while Gregorian is solar (365–366 days). That’s why Islamic months shift each year in the Gregorian calendar.
Can I find today’s date in Arabic and English both?
Yes! On tareekhalyawm.com, you can view Hijri and Gregorian dates together in both Arabic and English, fully updated based on Umm Al-Qura.
How do I convert an old Islamic date like 10 Muharram to Gregorian?
Use our Hijri to Gregorian converter tool — it supports historical dates, including events like Ashura or Hijrah milestones.
Is there a difference between “Islamic date” and “Hijri date”?
No difference. Both refer to the same lunar-based calendar starting from the Hijrah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
