Frequently asked questions

Why is my Islamic age higher than my normal age?

The Islamic calendar is lunar, and a lunar year (about 354 days) is roughly 11 days shorter than the solar year (about 365 days). Over a lifetime those days add up, so your age in Hijri years is a little higher — by about one year every 33 years.
