How the date is worked out
We read the time from your device and convert it to the Hijri date with the Umm al-Qura calendar used officially in Saudi Arabia. If you are outside Saudi Arabia, switch to Saudi time to see the date as it is in Makkah — near midnight the date can differ between countries.
The date on this page changes at midnight, which is how official calendars work. In Islamic practice a day starts at sunset, so the night before Friday, for example, begins after Maghrib on Thursday.
