Guide
The Eid Date Converter returns civil Gregorian dates for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in a selected Hijri year.
These dates come from the arithmetic Islamic civil calendar. They are useful for repeatable lookup, but official Eid observance can differ by location and authority.
What it handles
Calculates Shawwal 1 for the selected civil Hijri year.
In the civil calendar model, Eid al-Fitr is the first day of Shawwal immediately after Ramadan. The page maps that Hijri date to the Gregorian calendar for the year you enter.
Official Eid al-Fitr observance may still be announced through moon sighting or a national calendar authority, so treat this as a repeatable civil lookup.
Calculates Dhu al-Hijjah 10 for the selected civil Hijri year.
Eid al-Adha is calculated from the tenth civil day of Dhu al-Hijjah in the selected Hijri year. The converter uses that fixed Hijri marker and returns its Gregorian equivalent.
Dates around Dhu al-Hijjah can be sensitive to official calendar decisions, so use the result as a civil reference and verify public observance dates separately.
Returns the matching Gregorian dates for both civil Hijri observance markers.
The result gives both Eid dates together because many planning workflows need the full pair for a Hijri year. Keeping them in one panel also makes the underlying Hijri dates easier to compare.
The output does not include public holiday substitutions, weekend transfers, or local multi-day holiday policies.
How to use
Use the year for the Islamic civil calendar you want to check, such as 1448.
The input year is the Hijri year containing Shawwal 1 and Dhu al-Hijjah 10. Do not enter a Gregorian year unless you have first identified the related Hijri year.
Using the Hijri year keeps the lookup aligned with the Islamic calendar markers that define both Eid dates.
The result panel shows Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha dates in Gregorian format.
After submission, the converter maps each Eid marker through the shared civil day-count calculation and displays the Gregorian results. You can use the pair for draft calendars, notes, or cross-calendar comparison.
If you are building a table, keep the underlying Hijri marker beside each Gregorian date so the basis remains clear.
Use local official announcements when planning worship, holidays, or travel.
Eid dates are often confirmed by authorities close to the event, and public holiday schedules can include local rules beyond the calendar date itself. The civil result is not enough for final travel, school, or workplace planning.
For public communication, cite the official source used by the relevant community or country.
Examples
These are the Gregorian dates returned for the civil Hijri year 1448 AH by this implementation.
The example shows how one Hijri year produces two separate Gregorian dates for the two Eid markers. It is useful for checking the format of the result panel and for comparing civil dates with official calendars.
Because the dates are civil-calendar outputs, they should not be copied into official holiday notices without local verification.
The page maps Shawwal 1 and Dhu al-Hijjah 10 through the civil calendar.
Showing the Hijri markers makes the calculation transparent: Eid al-Fitr comes from month 10 day 01, and Eid al-Adha comes from month 12 day 10. The converter does not infer these dates from a Gregorian event list.
This is helpful when checking whether another source differs because of a different Hijri month start or because it applies public holiday rules after the calendar date.
FAQ
No. These are civil-calendar dates. Official Eid dates may be announced differently by country, community, or authority.
The converter does not receive local announcements, moon-sighting testimony, government calendars, or holiday substitution rules. It applies a deterministic civil Hijri calendar to the year entered in the form.
Use the result for repeatable lookup and early planning, then confirm official dates with the authority responsible for the audience or location.
Dhu al-Hijjah dates can depend on official calendar decisions and local policy. This page provides a deterministic civil reference only.
Dhu al-Hijjah month starts can be handled differently by official or observation-based calendars. If the month start differs, the tenth day and therefore Eid al-Adha can shift as well.
Some countries also define public holiday periods around the calendar date, which can add more differences between a civil conversion and a practical holiday schedule.
Reference
Eid al-Fitr is calculated as Shawwal 1 and Eid al-Adha as Dhu al-Hijjah 10 in the selected civil Hijri year.
Both dates are mapped through the same arithmetic civil calendar used elsewhere on the site. This keeps the lookup consistent with the Ramadan range and the single-date Hijri converters.
When the output is used outside private reference work, label it as a civil Hijri calculation and compare it with official local calendars before publishing.
Use cases
Estimate civil Gregorian dates for planning drafts before official Eid announcements are available.
Organizations often need a provisional calendar before official announcements are released. The civil lookup gives a stable draft date for internal planning, content preparation, and resource scheduling.
Mark those dates as tentative when they depend on a later local announcement.
Compare civil dates with official or observation-based calendars to see where the assumptions differ.
A side-by-side comparison can show whether a difference comes from Shawwal, Dhu al-Hijjah, or a local holiday rule. That makes it easier to explain why two date lists disagree.
This is useful for publishers and administrators who maintain calendars for audiences in multiple regions.
Label generated records with the underlying Hijri dates for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
Storing the Hijri marker next to the Gregorian result makes the record easier to audit later. It also prevents a civil conversion from being confused with a country-specific holiday table.
A clear label is especially important if the same dataset also contains official public holiday dates.
More questions
No. It returns calendar dates only and does not model public holiday substitutions, weekends, or local policy.
Many countries treat Eid as more than one public holiday date or adjust schedules around weekends. Those rules are legal or administrative policies, not part of this civil date conversion.
If you are planning closures, payroll, travel, or school calendars, use an official holiday calendar after checking the civil date.
Eid al-Fitr is tied to Shawwal 1, while Eid al-Adha is tied to Dhu al-Hijjah 10 in the selected Hijri year.
The two observances occur in different Hijri months and serve different calendar purposes. Showing them together is a convenience for users who need a yearly overview.
If you only need one of the dates, read the corresponding row in the result panel and keep its Hijri marker with the Gregorian value.
Yes. Local authorities may announce dates based on observation or official calendar policy, so verify before making final plans.
Announcements can be made close to the expected date, especially when crescent observation is part of the decision process. A civil lookup cannot predict those decisions.
For final plans, rely on the local authority and treat the converter output as a documented comparison point.
