Islamic Calendar 2025 with Important Dates

Hijri & Gregorian dates side by side!

Every date shows:

The Islamic date (like 25 Safar 1447).
The regular date (like 19 August 2025).

Let me show you something really useful – this Islamic calendar tool we created makes tracking important Muslim dates super easy. I use it myself all the time!

1. Understanding the Islamic (Hijri) Calendar

So the Islamic calendar – we also call it the Hijri calendar – works differently from the regular calendar you might use. Here’s the deal:

Muslims use it worldwide to figure out:
When Ramadan starts and stops.
The right time for Hajj.
Eid celebrations (both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha).
Important historical moments in Islam.

What makes it special?

It follows the moon (not the sun).
Runs about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar.
Started counting from 622 CE (that’s the year of Hijra).
Months alternate between 29 and 30 days.
