How to Calculate Your Age in Hijri Calendar?

The Islamic or Hijri calendar is based on the lunar cycle. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, it has only 354 or 355 days. This difference makes your age in the Hijri calendar slightly older than your age in the Gregorian calendar.

What is the Hijri Calendar?

The Hijri calendar started in 622 AD, with the migration (Hijrah) of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Makkah to Madinah. It is used worldwide by Muslims to determine Islamic events like Ramadan, Hajj, and Eid.
