Hijri New Year Countdown
Expected first day: 01-01-1449 AH
A calculated calendar date. The final date follows the calendar and announcements adopted in Saudi Arabia.
When does the next Hijri year begin?
A new Hijri year starts on 1 Muharram, the first day of the first lunar month. The countdown above shows the next calculated occurrence and its Gregorian equivalent in Riyadh. This page is for the year change; the separate Hijri-date tool provides today’s date, a month calendar and date conversion.
Why does 1 Muharram move in the Gregorian calendar?
A Hijri year has twelve lunar months, each usually 29 or 30 days. It is shorter than a Gregorian year, so the same Hijri date appears earlier in the Gregorian calendar as the years pass. You should therefore check the converted date each year rather than reuse last year’s Gregorian appointment.
From Dhul Hijjah to Muharram
Dhul Hijjah is the twelfth Hijri month; Muharram follows it as month one of the next year. Eid al-Adha belongs to Dhul Hijjah, while the next Ramadan is in month nine. The illustration below puts these dates in calendar order so you can understand how the countdowns relate.
Understanding the time shown
The timer ends at 00:00 at the start of the displayed calendar date in Riyadh. The preceding Islamic night begins after sunset. Calendar conversion is useful for planning, but local adopted calendars and official announcements can affect the final date. A Hijri year change does not by itself specify a school or workplace holiday.
