The Hijri date Today is Wed 1445/12/20AH (26-06-2024AD) on 26th June 2024.

The Hijri calendar is different from the Gregorian calendar, which is the commonly used calendar worldwide. While the Gregorian calendar is based on the solar cycle and has 365 or 366 days in a year, the Hijri calendar follows the lunar cycle and has an average of 354 or 355 days in a year.

The Hijri calendar began in the year 622 CE, marking the migration of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Makkah to Madinah. This event is known as the Hijra, from which the calendar takes its name.

The months in the Hijri calendar are named as follows: Muharram, Safar, Rabi’ al-Awwal, Rabi’ al-Thani, Jumada al-Ula, Jumada al-Thani, Rajab, Sha’ban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa’dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah.

The Hijri calendar, also known as the Islamic calendar or the Lunar calendar, is a lunar-based calendar used by Muslims worldwide to determine religious observances, festivals, and the scheduling of Islamic events.

The Hijri calendar is based on the sighting of the moon. It consists of 12 lunar months, which can have either 29 or 30 days. The length of each month is determined by the lunar cycle, with a total of 354 or 355 days in a Hijri year.
