📆 What Is the Hijri (Islamic) Calendar?

The Hijri calendar, also known as the Islamic calendar, is a lunar-based calendar used by Muslims around the world to determine the dates of important islamic events. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which is solar-based, the Hijri calendar follows the cycle of the moon. Each Islamic month begins when the new crescent moon (hilal) is sighted in the sky.

This calendar is essential for tracking Islamic holidays such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and other sacred days in the Muslim faith. For Muslims, knowing the exact Hijri date helps in performing islamic duties, fasting, Hajj planning, and more. This app provides a modern, responsive, and accurate way to view today's Islamic date alongside its Gregorian equivalent.
