This free Hijri calendar shows Islamic dates as a practical planning and overview tool.

The Islamic calendar (Hijri calendar) is based on the moon. Therefore, Islamic months shift each year relative to the Gregorian calendar. For many Muslims, the Hijri date is important for periods such as Ramadan , Dhul Hijjah , and days like Eid al-Fitr .

What is the Hijri calendar?

The Hijri calendar has 12 lunar months. A month begins when the new moon is visible (or according to a calculation method). Therefore, the start of a month can sometimes vary by one day depending on the country or method .

Why is this important?

The Hijri calendar helps you to:

• Islamic months and moments to plan better

• to recognize important days and periods in time

• to live more consciously around prayer, fasting and worship
