Hijri date today in Saudi Arabia

Today, Thursday 1 October 2026, is 20 Rabi' al-Thani 1448 AH in Saudi Arabia, on the Umm al-Qura calendar.

The Umm al-Qura calendar is Saudi Arabia's official Hijri calendar. It is calculated astronomically, so its dates are known in advance; the start of Ramadan and the Eids is still confirmed by moon sighting.

Choose the Hijri day, month and year in the converter above and it shows the matching Gregorian date instantly, following the Umm al-Qura calendar. It works the other way round too.

A Hijri month has 29 or 30 days, following the moon, so a Hijri year has 354 or 355 days — about 11 days shorter than a Gregorian year. That is why Ramadan and the Eids come about 11 days earlier every year.
