FAQs About Hijri and Gregorian Conversion
Q1. What is a Hijri date converter?
A: It’s an online tool that translates dates between the Islamic lunar calendar (Hijri) and the solar Gregorian calendar used in most of the world. It is essential for anyone needing to convert date Hijri and Gregorian formats.
Q2. Why do Hijri dates change every year on the Gregorian calendar?
A: The Hijri calendar is based on the moon's cycles, resulting in a year that is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar year. This is why Islamic holidays like Ramadan appear to "move" forward by about 11 days each year on the Western calendar.
Q3. Are Hijri dates the same in all countries?
A: Not always. The beginning of a Hijri month is traditionally determined by the physical sighting of the new moon. This can cause a one-day variation between different countries. This hijri calendar date converter uses a widely accepted astronomical algorithm for conversions.
