Example: your birthday in the Hijri calendar
Someone born on 1 January 2000 was born on 24 Ramadan 1420 AH, in a Hijri month that had 30 days in the Umm al-Qura table.
Your Hijri birthday falls on a different Gregorian date every year, about 11 days earlier each time, because the Islamic year is shorter.
A quick estimate without a converter
To find the Hijri year roughly, subtract 621.6 from the Gregorian year and divide by 0.97. For example (2026 − 621.6) ÷ 0.970 ≈ 1447.5, so 2026 falls between 1447 and 1448 AH.

Does the Hijri day start at sunset?
In religious terms, yes: each day begins at sunset, so the night of a date comes before its daytime. Calendars and official documents change the date at midnight, matching one Gregorian day to one Hijri day, as this converter does.
Why might the Hijri date be different in my country?
Saudi Arabia uses the Umm al-Qura calendar. Countries that start each month by local moon sighting or their own calculation can be a day ahead or behind, especially around Ramadan and the Eids.
