Hijri Smart Calendar

التقويم الهجري

The Hijri calendar month by month, with the dates of the Ahl al-Bayt (a) — Ashura, Ghadir, the births and martyrdoms of the Imams — and the White Days (13th–15th) marked. Dates follow the astronomical Umm al-Qura tables; the start of a month announced by the Union after local moon sighting may differ by a day.

About the Islamic calendar

The Hijri calendar is the Islamic lunar calendar of twelve months in a year of 354–355 days. Ummi computes dates from the astronomical Umm al-Qura tables and marks the dates observed by the Ithna-ashari community.

They are the 13th, 14th and 15th of each Hijri month — nights of the full moon, when the Prophet ﷺ encouraged fasting. Ummi highlights them and can export them to your calendar.

A Hijri month begins after the crescent is sighted, so the date announced by the Union or your Marja‘ can fall a day before or after the astronomical table used here. When they differ, follow the announcement.

Today's Hijri date is shown at the top of the page and today's cell is highlighted in the grid — it updates automatically on your device.
