Swap Hijri & Gregorian Dates in Seconds!
Look, I’ve been there – frantically Googling “when is Ramadan this year” three days before it starts, or trying to figure out if I can squeeze in that business trip before Eid al-Adha. The whole Hijri-Gregorian calendar conversion mess used to drive me up the wall.
That’s exactly why I built this free converter tool after one too many family arguments about when to book our flights to visit the grandparents for Eid. Trust me, this thing has saved more family gatherings than I can count!
Last year, my cousin Farah swore Eid al-Fitr would fall on a Thursday. I was positive it was Friday. We had a whole WhatsApp group debate raging for days. Turns out we were both wrong – it was Wednesday! Classic moon-sighting drama.
Here’s the thing nobody tells you: the Hijri calendar slips backward through the Gregorian year by about 11 days annually. That’s why Ramadan feels like it “moves” through the seasons (remember those brutal summer fasts a few years back? Oof). This tool cuts through all that confusion in seconds.
My mom still calls me every year asking, “Beta, when should I book my ticket for Eid?” Now I just punch it in and give her exact dates.
Want Gregorian → Hijri or Hijri → Gregorian? Just click the right option.
Type in whatever date you’re curious about. Need to know when 15 Sha’ban is this year? Just enter it.
Done. That’s it. Seriously.
No account creation, no email signups, no “please turn off your ad blocker” nonsense. I hate that stuff as much as you do.
I won’t bore you with details, but basically:
This is why your non-Muslim coworkers are always confused about why your days off for Eid are different every year. (And why does explaining “it depends on the moon” get old fast?)
Ever tried coordinating an Eid dinner for a family spread across three continents? This tool has prevented more scheduling disasters than I can count.
Your HR department will appreciate specific dates instead of “sometime in April, depending on the moon.”
My friend Aisha wanted her nikah on 27 Rajab (a blessed day). This tool helped her book the venue five months in advance on the right Gregorian date.
When my nephew needed to include Hijri dates for his Islamic history presentation, we knocked it out in minutes.
Look, I get it. Moon sighting can be contentious. This tool uses the Umm al-Qura calendar calculation method, which is what Saudi Arabia officially uses.
Is it perfect? No. Local moon sighting might still vary by a day. Always double-check with your local mosque for the final word on important dates like Ramadan and Eid.
Yep. I traced my grandparents’ anniversary back to 1947 without breaking a sweat.
Remember those 11 days I mentioned? They add up! That’s how Ramadan cycles through all the seasons every 33 years or so.
Nope. Just bookmark the page and you’re golden.
Next time someone asks you “when exactly is the 15th of Sha’ban this year?”, you can pull up this tool instead of doing that awkward “let me check and get back to you” dance.
Give it a try. It’s free, it’s simple, and it works.
P.S. If you find any bugs or have suggestions, let me know. This is a labor of love, and I’m always improving it.
