Live Hijri (Islamic) date widget — shows today's Hijri date, weekday, sacred-month status, Arabic month name, and countdowns to Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Islamic New Year.
The Hijri Date Today widget shows the current Islamic (Hijri) date — day, month name (English + Arabic in RTL), and year — alongside the corresponding Gregorian date and a live local clock that ticks every second. It flags sacred months (Muharram, Rajab, Dhu al-Qi'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah — the four months in which warfare was forbidden in pre-Islamic Arabia and Islam preserved the prohibition per Quran 9:36) and shows a special Ramadan badge during the holy month. Crucially, it computes live countdowns in days to the four major upcoming Islamic events: 1 Ramadan (start of fasting), 1 Shawwal (Eid al-Fitr), 10 Dhu al-Hijjah (Eid al-Adha / Bakra Eid), and 1 Muharram (Islamic New Year).
Formula
Today's Hijri = Aladhan gToH/{today_gregorian} → Umm al-Qura tabular conversion. Days until event = (Aladhan hToG/{1 Ramadan / 1 Shawwal / 10 Dhu al-Hijjah / 1 Muharram} for current Hijri year) − today; if past, +1 Hijri year (~354 days).You're filling out a form that asks for the Hijri date, or someone in the WhatsApp family group wants to know exactly how many days until Ramadan starts, or you're a teacher trying to coordinate when Eid holidays will fall in the school calendar. This widget shows today's Islamic date — English ('15 Ramadan 1446 AH') and Arabic ('١٥ رمضان ١٤٤٦ هـ' rendered right-to-left), alongside the corresponding Gregorian date and a live ticking local clock. It flags sacred months (Muharram, Rajab, Dhu al-Qi'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah — the four months Quran 9:36 identifies as forbidden for warfare in pre-Islamic Arabia and preserved in Islam) and shows a special Ramadan badge during the holy month with the day count. The most useful feature is the live countdown to the four major upcoming events: 1 Ramadan (start of fasting), 1 Shawwal (Eid al-Fitr), 10 Dhu al-Hijjah (Eid al-Adha / Bakra Eid), and 1 Muharram (Islamic New Year). Two caveats worth knowing every Pakistani family deals with annually. First, the Islamic day starts at sunset (Maghrib), not midnight — so 'tonight' after Maghrib is actually already the next Hijri day. Second, this widget uses the Umm al-Qura tabular calendar (the standard for Saudi Arabia and most civil Hijri documentation); your local Ruet-e-Hilal Committee may declare a month start a day off based on actual moon sighting. The countdowns are accurate for planning, but always cross-check with your local mosque for ceremonial timing.

Date conversion uses the Aladhan API which implements the official Umm al-Qura tabular calendar; local moon-sighting may shift the actual day by ±1.
The Hijri / Islamic calendar is a purely lunar calendar of 12 months alternating between 29 and 30 days, totaling 354 or 355 days per year — about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian solar year. This means Islamic dates shift backward through the Gregorian seasons, completing a full cycle every ~33 years. The Umm al-Qura calendar (used in Saudi Arabia and adopted by most Muslim governments for civil purposes) is a tabular calendar: each month's length is prescribed in advance based on astronomical calculation, not actual moon sighting. Local moon-sighting committees (Pakistan: Ruet-e-Hilal Committee; Morocco: Ministry of Awqaf) may declare a month begin one day earlier or later — so the actual community date may differ by ±1 day from this widget.
1 Hijri year = ~354 days (vs Gregorian 365.25 days) → Hijri dates shift backward 11 days/year through the Gregorian calendar.
By age 33 solar years, you've lived ~34 Hijri years — Hijri 'birthdays' come about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year.
The Hijri calendar epoch (1 Muharram 1 AH) corresponds to 16 July 622 CE — the migration of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Mecca to Medina.
Worldwide, ~1.8 billion Muslims use the Hijri calendar for religious observances — Ramadan, Hajj, Eid, fasting recommendations, and major Islamic anniversaries.
Today's Hijri date is shown live in both English (e.g., '15 Ramadan 1446 AH') and Arabic (e.g., '١٥ رمضان ١٤٤٦ هـ' in RTL).
If today is in Ramadan, a special green Ramadan badge appears showing day number out of 30 — useful to track your fast count.
Countdown to next Ramadan: e.g., 'Ramadan 1447 begins in ~234 days' — useful for planning, donations, time off work.
Countdown to Eid al-Fitr (1 Shawwal): celebrated globally with prayer, charity (Zakat al-Fitr), and family gatherings.
Countdown to Eid al-Adha (10 Dhu al-Hijjah): the day of Qurbani — see our /qurbani-cost-calculator to plan your sacrifice.
Countdown to Islamic New Year (1 Muharram): a sacred month commemorated by many Muslims with extra fasting and remembrance, especially the day of Ashura on 10 Muharram.
