Frequently asked questions
›Aaj islami tareekh kya hai? (What is today's Islamic date?)
The date at the top of this page is today's Hijri date. For Pakistan's date (usually one day behind Saudi Arabia), choose Pakistan below or open the Urdu page.
›What is today's Islamic date?
The box above shows today's Hijri date, calculated for your device's date. It updates automatically every day.
›Why does the Islamic date change at sunset?
In Islam, a new day begins at Maghrib (sunset). The calendar here changes at midnight like most printed calendars, so after sunset the Islamic date is technically already the next day.
›Is the Hijri date the same in every country?
Not always. Countries that rely on local moon sighting, such as Pakistan and India, are often one day behind Saudi Arabia.
