Hijri Date Converter
Convert between Hijri and Gregorian dates instantly, with a moon-sighting adjustment for Bangladesh. Shows the Bangla and English month name, the weekday, and today's Hijri date.
The tabular Islamic calendar is accurate to within a day of announced dates. Local moon sighting decides the final date, so the adjustment shifts the result by up to ±2 days.
How it works
The converter uses the tabular Islamic calendar, the arithmetic standard behind printed calendars, and matched every announced Saudi and Bangladesh date within one day when tested.
Choose the Bangladesh adjustment and the result shifts one day later, because Bangladesh usually starts its month a day after Saudi Arabia — the moon is seen over Dhaka a night later than over Makkah.
Both directions work: type a Gregorian date to get the Hijri date with its Bangla month name, or enter a Hijri date to see the Gregorian equivalent and weekday.
Ramadan, Eid and other key dates from this converter feed the Ramadan countdown page, so both always agree with each other.
Frequently asked questions
What Hijri date is today?
Pick today's date in the converter with the Bangladesh adjustment on. The result shows today's Hijri date, the Bangla month name and the weekday, computed instantly in your browser.
Why does the result differ by a day from my wall calendar?
Announced dates come from actual moon sighting, which no arithmetic calendar can predict perfectly. The adjustment selector shifts the tabular result by up to two days to match how your country starts the month.
Which year is it in the Hijri calendar?
The Hijri year is about 354 days, so it moves about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year and the two calendars never stay in step. The converter always shows which Hijri year a Gregorian date falls in.
Is the Hijri calendar used officially in Bangladesh?
Bangladesh follows the Gregorian calendar for official purposes, with Islamic dates printed alongside for religious events. Mosques and newspapers publish the Hijri date daily.
