Ethiopian to Hijri (Islamic) Date

Enter a date in the Ethiopian calendar and the tool returns the equivalent date in the Hijri (Islamic) calendar using the standard relationship between the two systems.

1. 1

   Step 1

   Enter the complete Ethiopian date — day, month, and year.

2. 2

   Step 2

   We apply both systems' rules: a Ethiopian year runs about 365 days against the Hijri (Islamic) 354 (≈11 days apart each year).

3. 3

   Step 3

   The result shows the correct Hijri (Islamic) day, with Hijri (Islamic) leap years applied date by date.

• 1

  Ethiopian 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 Ethiopian date and read the Hijri (Islamic) equivalent instead of shifting the year by a fixed offset.

• 2

  Enter the Ethiopian–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.

• 3

  Watch century boundaries and very old dates in the Ethiopian–Hijri (Islamic) system: historical calendars dropped or added days when they were adopted, which is invisible in daily use but material for long-range historical calculations here.

• Anniversaries do not survive conversion unchanged: a Ethiopian date maps to a fixed Hijri (Islamic) date, but next year's Ethiopian anniversary lands on a different Hijri (Islamic) date. Reconvert each occurrence instead of adding one year to the last result.

• Reversing the direction is a silent trap: converting from the Hijri (Islamic) calendar back to the Ethiopian calendar needs the inverse relation, and off-by-one errors cluster at month boundaries where the systems disagree. Verify the round trip returns your original date.
