Hijri Islamic Date Converter

Hijri Islamic Date Converter provides bidirectional conversion between the Gregorian solar calendar and the Islamic Hijri lunar calendar using the tabular Islamic calendar algorithm which is the most widely accepted computational method. The Islamic calendar is a purely lunar calendar of 354 or 355 days making it approximately 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. This causes Islamic dates like Ramadan, Dhul Hijjah, and Muharram to advance through the Gregorian calendar each year. Today\'s date is always shown simultaneously in both calendar systems updating in real time so users can instantly understand the current Islamic date.
