When is the next Hijri New Year?

The calculated next 1 Muharram in Riyadh is 6 June 2027. Check the adopted local calendar for the final date.

Is 1 Muharram the first day of the Hijri year?

Yes. Muharram is month one. It follows Dhul Hijjah, the final month of the preceding Hijri year.

Does Hijri New Year have the same Gregorian date every year?

No. The lunar Hijri year is shorter than the Gregorian year, so its Gregorian equivalent changes.

Where can I convert a Hijri date?

The site’s Hijri-date page includes today’s date, the month calendar and conversion between Hijri and Gregorian dates.

What time is Fajr Adhan and when does Imsak begin in Riyadh today?

Fajr Adhan is called in Riyadh at astronomical dawn when the true dawn appears (solar depression angle of 18.5° according to the official Umm Al-Qura calendar). The call to Fajr prayer marks the formal start of fasting (Imsak) when eating and drinking cease, and the prayer window extends until sunrise.

What time is sunrise in Riyadh today and when does Fajr prayer end?

The time for Fajr prayer concludes in Riyadh the moment the upper rim of the sun rises above the horizon, which corresponds to the Sunrise time shown in our daily timetable. Voluntary prayers are prohibited during sunrise until the sun has risen to the height of a spear (~12 to 15 minutes after sunrise), when Duha prayer begins.

What time is Maghrib Adhan and Iftar in Riyadh today?

Maghrib Adhan is called in Riyadh precisely as the complete solar disc sets beneath the horizon, which marks the Islamic time to break the fast (Iftar) according to the Umm Al-Qura calendar. The exact Maghrib timing shifts by a couple of minutes daily across seasons. You can check the live countdown to today's Maghrib Adhan and Iftar at the top of this page.

When does Isha prayer time end and when does the Last Third of the Night begin in Riyadh?

The preferred window for Isha prayer ends at Islamic midnight (the midpoint between sunset and true dawn). The Last Third of the Night begins after the first two thirds of the night elapse, representing the most virtuous time for Tahajjud (night vigil prayers) and supplication in Riyadh, lasting until Fajr dawn.

Why do prayer times change daily in Riyadh?

Prayer times shift by a few minutes each day because of Earth's orbit around the sun, which gradually changes sunrise and sunset times year-round. We update the schedule daily using precise astronomical data for Riyadh's location.
