FAQ
The Umm al-Qura calendar is the official civil Hijri calendar used by the Saudi government for documents, planning and administration.
Your Iqama uses the Saudi Umm al-Qura Hijri system. Other calendar apps may use moon-sighting or different regional methods, so a 1-2 day difference can happen.
Not always. Saudi Arabia confirms Ramadan and Eid by official moon sighting, which may differ by 1 day from the civil Umm al-Qura calculation.
Switch to "Hijri → Gregorian" mode, enter the day, month, and year shown on your Iqama, then click Convert. The result gives you the correct Gregorian date. Make sure you read the Hijri date correctly — day comes first, then month name, then year (AH).
Yes, it is suitable for cross-checking Saudi civil document dates. For legal deadlines, confirm the date with the issuing authority.
Disclaimer: This converter follows the Umm al-Qura calendar used for Saudi civil dates. Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha may differ by 1 day based on official moon-sighting announcements.
