Age in Hijri Calculator

Find your exact age in the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, plus your Hijri date of birth. Your Hijri age runs a little higher than your Gregorian age.

Your age in the Islamic calendar

Because the Hijri lunar year is about eleven days shorter than the solar year, your age in Hijri years is slightly higher than in Gregorian years - by roughly one extra year every thirty-three. This tool gives your exact Hijri age and your Hijri date of birth.

How it is calculated

Your Gregorian date of birth is converted to its Hijri date using the Umm al-Qura calendar, then compared with today's Hijri date to give your age in Hijri years, months, and days. As with any Hijri date, the calculated day can differ by one from a local moon sighting.

Why it is useful

Knowing your Hijri age ties your life to the Islamic calendar - helpful for noting when a child reaches the age of religious responsibility (buloogh), and for milestones linked to the lunar months.

Common questions

Why is my Hijri age higher than my Gregorian age?

The lunar year is about eleven days shorter, so Hijri years pass a little faster - you gain roughly one extra Hijri year every thirty-three Gregorian years.

How accurate is it?

It uses the Umm al-Qura calculated calendar. The exact day can differ by one from a local moon sighting, which may shift the count by a day around a birthday.

Is my date of birth private?

Yes. Your date of birth is used only in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere or saved. Free forever, funded as sadaqah.
