Frequently asked questions

Which calendar does the conversion use?

The converter uses the Umm al-Qura Hijri calendar as the browser's standard date library implements it, the same source the Hijri calendar pages of this site use.

Can the result be used for worship dates?

The conversion is calculated; the start of a month and the religious occasions follow the announcement of each country's official authority.

Why does the converter reject my date?

A date is rejected when its format is wrong, the day does not exist in that month, or the Hijri year falls outside the available Umm al-Qura range.
