Islamic tools: Hijri dates, Qibla and zakat

Tools for everyday religious needs, made to be accurate and easy to use on a phone. Hijri dates use the Umm al-Qura calendar used in Saudi Arabia, the Qibla direction is calculated from your location to the Kaaba, and the zakat calculator can fill in today's gold and silver price. Dates of Ramadan and Eid are always marked as expected, because moon sighting decides.

Quick answer

Use the Hijri date converter to change any date between the Hijri and Gregorian calendars, Hijri date today for today's date, and the Islamic calendar for a whole year with the expected Ramadan and Eid dates. The Qibla finder points to the Kaaba from your location, and the zakat calculator works out 2.5% of your savings, gold and other zakatable wealth once it reaches the nisab.

Questions

Which Hijri calendar do you use?

The Umm al-Qura calendar used in Saudi Arabia. Local moon sighting can move a date by a day.

How accurate is the Qibla direction?

The bearing is calculated exactly from your location. Phone compasses can be off by several degrees near metal or electronics, so calibrate yours first.

Where does the zakat gold price come from?

From an international spot price feed, shown with its update time. You can type your own local price instead.

Is my location stored?

No. Your location is used in your browser only to work out the direction.

Are Ramadan and Eid dates confirmed?

No. They are shown as expected dates; the official dates depend on moon sighting.
