Hijri calendar

The card at the top of this page carries it: the Islamic date for today in the Umm al-Qura calendar, with the Gregorian day beside it. The page is generated on the server, so the date moves with the day rather than with a release.

Umm al-Qura, computed by the platform's own Islamic calendar. No third party supplies the dates and none of them is typed in by hand.

Two months: the Gregorian month you are in and the one after it. Every single day in both carries its Hijri day number.

Because the Umm al-Qura calendar is calculated in advance, while in many countries the month begins with the sighting of the moon. The lede above the calendars says the same thing, and a difference of one day is normal.

A gold dot marks the first day of every Hijri month inside the grid, and the list under the calendars names each of those months with the Gregorian day it falls on.

Yes. Each month has its own download, and the sheet it produces carries one row per day with the Gregorian date and the Hijri date side by side.

The large number is the Gregorian day and the small one is the Hijri day. The legend above the calendars shows the same pair.

The Previous and Next links in the bar above each calendar jump between the two months on the page.

Yes. The weekday names, the Gregorian month names and the Hijri month names are all written in the language of the page you are reading, and the switcher in the header moves you between them.

No, and the note at the foot of the page says so: fasting and eid dates follow the announcement of your own local authority. For the daily prayer times, the prayer times pages carry a table for each city.
