# What is today’s Hijri date in the UK?

Updated 2026-07-28

Quick Answer

UK mosques generally follow moon-sighting (often aligned with the London Unified table). Arithmetic (tabular) converters can differ by about one day — always check your local mosque’s announcement for Ramadan and Eid.

## In detail

The Hijri calendar is lunar: 12 months of 29–30 days, about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year.

Our converter shows the arithmetic calendar and notes when the London Unified moonsighting date differs.

For Ramadan and Eid, follow your mosque or a recognised UK sighting body — communities can differ by a day.

This answer is not

A substitute for the board at the mosque you will pray in. Start times and iqamah differ. We do not sell listings or calculation methods.
