Frequently asked questions
Why might the Hijri date differ by a day?
This converter uses the Umm al-Qura calculated calendar. Many communities begin each Islamic month by actually sighting the new moon, which can fall a day earlier or later than the calculation — so religious dates like Ramadan and Eid may differ locally.
What does 'AH' mean?
AH stands for Anno Hegirae — 'in the year of the Hijra'. The Islamic calendar counts years from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ migrating from Makkah to Madinah in 622 CE.
