How to use
Enter a date in the Hijri (Islamic) calendar and the tool returns the equivalent date in the Samaritan calendar using the standard relationship between the two systems.
- 1
Step 1
Enter the complete Hijri (Islamic) date — day, month, and year.
- 2
Step 2
We anchor each system's epoch, then convert day by day — Hijri (Islamic): epoch 622 CE (2026 CE ≈ AH 1447–1448); Samaritan: a 13th leap month lands 7 times in each 19-year cycle.

Step 3
Read the exact Samaritan date: a year spanning 353–385 days, counted month by month.
Use Cases
Convert Hijri (Islamic) dates to Samaritan
Translate any complete Hijri (Islamic) date, day, month, and year, into its exact Samaritan equivalent; the relation applies each system's own epoch and leap rules rather than a fixed offset, so the result holds to the day.
Schedule across both calendars
A Hijri (Islamic) year runs about 354 days against the Samaritan 365, roughly 11 days apart annually, so plan across the two by converting full dates instead of shifting a year or month by hand.
Tips
- 1
Hijri (Islamic) and Samaritan dates do not map one-to-one — the two systems start from different epochs and count leap years differently, so enter the full Hijri (Islamic) date and read the Samaritan equivalent instead of shifting the year by a fixed offset.
- 2
Before a Hijri (Islamic)–Samaritan date goes into a booking or a flight, re-enter it in a second tool as a cross-check — pages like Hijri (Islamic) to Samaritan Date Converter apply fixed rules and cannot warn about a transposed input digit.
- 3
Watch century boundaries and very old dates in the Hijri (Islamic)–Samaritan 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.
Common Mistakes
Anniversaries do not survive conversion unchanged: a Hijri (Islamic) date maps to a fixed Samaritan date, but next year's Hijri (Islamic) anniversary lands on a different Samaritan date. Reconvert each occurrence instead of adding one year to the last result.
The Hijri (Islamic) and Samaritan calendars differ in year length and leap pattern, so a fixed-day offset — 365, 354, any memorized constant — drifts the Samaritan date badly. Convert the complete date so both leap rules apply.
