Hijri Age Calculator – Calculate Your Age in Islamic (Hijri) Calendar
The Hijri Age Calculator helps you find your exact age according to the Islamic lunar calendar. Many Muslims use the Hijri system to calculate age for religious events, Islamic birthdays, fasting eligibility, Zakat rules, and other cultural needs. This tool instantly converts your Gregorian (English) date of birth into Hijri age, showing your age in Hijri years, months, and days.
If you want to quickly know “How old am I in Hijri years?”, this tool gives you accurate results based on the Islamic lunar cycle of 354 or 355 days.
What Is a Hijri Age Calculator?
A Hijri Age Calculator is an online tool that calculates your age using the Islamic lunar calendar, also known as the Hijri or AH (Anno Hegirae) calendar.
While the Gregorian calendar uses 365 days, the Hijri calendar uses 354 days, making your Hijri age different (usually slightly higher).
For example:
If you are 20 years old in the Gregorian calendar,
you will be around 20.6 years old in Hijri.
This tool performs accurate conversions using your date of birth and the lunar cycle.
Why Do People Use the Hijri Age Calculator?
People use Hijri age for several important Islamic and cultural reasons:
✔ Checking Islamic Birthday (Milad)
Helps users find their exact Islamic birth date according to the Hijri calendar.
✔ Zakat Eligibility
Certain Zakat-related rules depend on Hijri age and lunar years.
✔ Islamic Events & Fasting
