Using this tool
Enter a date in the Baha'i calendar and the tool returns the equivalent date in the Hijri (Islamic) calendar using the standard relationship between the two systems.
- 1
Step 1
Enter the complete Baha'i date — day, month, and year.
- 2
Step 2
We anchor each system's epoch, then convert day by day — Baha'i: year 1 = 1844 CE (Naw-Rúz ≈ 21 March); Hijri (Islamic): epoch 622 CE (2026 CE ≈ AH 1447–1448).
- 3
Step 3
Read the exact Hijri (Islamic) date: a year spanning 354–355 days, counted month by month.
Use Cases
Schedule across both calendars
A Baha'i year runs about 365 days against the Hijri (Islamic) 354, roughly 11 days apart annually, so plan across the two by converting full dates instead of shifting a year or month by hand.
Track Baha'i occasions on the Hijri (Islamic) calendar
Keep Baha'i anniversaries, religious dates, and deadlines visible in Hijri (Islamic) terms: the same Baha'i date lands on a different Hijri (Islamic) date every year, so each occurrence is reconverted rather than advanced by one year.
Tips
- 1
Baha'i and Hijri (Islamic) dates do not map one-to-one — the two systems start from different epochs and count leap years differently, so enter the full Baha'i date and read the Hijri (Islamic) equivalent instead of shifting the year by a fixed offset.
- 2
Leap rules differ between the calendars behind Baha'i–Hijri (Islamic), so a span that looks like whole years in one system can land a day or two off in another; trust the converted result rather than a fixed mental offset.
- 3
Enter the Baha'i–Hijri (Islamic) dates in YYYY-MM-DD format to avoid ambiguity — some conventions read 03/04 as March fourth and others as April third, and a swapped month and day silently shifts every result this page derives.
Common Mistakes
Anniversaries do not survive conversion unchanged: a Baha'i date maps to a fixed Hijri (Islamic) date, but next year's Baha'i anniversary lands on a different Hijri (Islamic) date. Reconvert each occurrence instead of adding one year to the last result.
Epoch offsets are pair-specific: day zero of Baha'i and of Hijri (Islamic) are different dates, and constants borrowed from another calendar pair are silently wrong by days or years. Use the Baha'i → Hijri (Islamic) relation itself, not a remembered number.
