This is a tabular (arithmetic) calculation, not based on local moon sighting. Your country or mosque's announced Islamic date can be a day earlier or later — always follow your local moon-sighting announcement for religious observances like the start of Ramadan or Eid.
How is today's Hijri date calculated?
This page computes the Hijri date on our server, for every visitor, using a tabular (arithmetic) Islamic calendar — a fixed 30-year cycle of 11 leap years, the same category of calculation used in many published Hijri converters and calendar libraries. It does not depend on moon-sighting reports, so it is fully predictable and available today for any date, past or future.
Why might this differ from my local moon-sighting date?
Many countries and communities confirm the start of a new Hijri month by physically sighting the crescent moon, which can vary by a day depending on location, weather, and the method (or madhhab) followed. A tabular calculation like this one is consistent and reproducible everywhere, but it is an approximation of the real lunar cycle — it can sit a day before or after your local moon-sighting announcement, especially near the start of Ramadan, Shawwal, or Dhu al-Hijjah.
What is the tabular Islamic calendar?
It is an arithmetic rule-based Hijri calendar in which months alternate 30 and 29 days, with an extra day added to the twelfth month (Dhu al-Hijjah) in 11 out of every 30 years to keep the calendar aligned with the lunar cycle on average. Because it uses a fixed rule instead of observation, it can be calculated instantly for any date — which is what powers the converter on this page.
