Islamic Age Calculator - What Is My Age in Hijri?

How old am I in Hijri? Use this free Islamic age calculator to find your exact age in Islamic (Hijri) years. You’re probably older than you think!

Our Hijri age calculator instantly shows your age in both lunar (Islamic) and solar (Gregorian) years, months, and days. Just enter your birthdate below.

Why Hijri Age Matters

The Islamic calendar holds special significance for Muslims:

1. Religious observances are based on Hijri dates
2. Age-related religious duties (like Zakat eligibility) may reference Hijri age
3. Spiritual milestones are often discussed in terms of lunar years
4. Historical context - the Islamic calendar began with the Hijra (migration) to Madinah

Understanding the Difference

Important Islamic Age Milestones

7 Years (Hijri)

• Age to begin teaching children prayer
• Start of religious education

10 Years (Hijri)

• Age of accountability for prayer
• Children should be praying regularly

15 Years (Hijri)

• Traditional age of religious maturity (bulugh)
• Full religious obligations apply

40 Years (Hijri)

• Age of full spiritual maturity
• Age when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received revelation
• Many prophets reached prophethood at this age

How It’s Calculated

The Hijri year is approximately 354.36667 days long, while the Gregorian year averages 365.2425 days. This difference of about 11 days annually means:

• Every 33 Gregorian years ≈ 34 Hijri years
• Your Hijri age is always slightly higher
• The gap increases as you get older

Fun Facts

• If you’re 30 Gregorian years old, you’re approximately 31 Hijri years old
• Someone born on the same Gregorian day as you has the same Hijri birthday, but the Gregorian date of that Hijri birthday changes each year
• The Islamic calendar will complete a full cycle through all seasons in about 33 years
