A dataset of Umm al-Qura comparative calendar including the Hijri years 1343-1500 AH.
The Umm al-Qura calendar is the lunar Hijri calendar officially adopted by Saudi Arabia for administrative purposes. It was originated from Umm al-Qura newspaper, the official newspaper of government of Saudi Arabia. The newspaper is published weekly and its first issue was on Friday, 15 Jumada al-Ula 1343 AH (12 December 1924 CE). However, the calendar has been printed and distributed separately by the Saudi government since 1346 AH (1927 CE).
The calendar is widely used in Saudi Arabia, especially by the public sector. Official documents, political letters, health care records, and education certificates, are just examples of many other documents that are dated by the Hijri calendar.
However, the Gregorian calendar is the calendar used in most of the world, and it has been implemented as the default calendar in nearly every computer and database.
Data was generated using the Hijri Converter Python package to provide an accurate comparative table for Hijri and Gregorian dates for the period from the beginning of 1343 AH (1 August 1924 CE) to the end of 1500 AH (16 November 2077 CE). Additionally, Reduced Julian Day numbers were computed assuming noon time for corresponding Gregorian dates using a published formula that is already implemented in the Hijri Converter package.
rjd: Reduced Julian Day number.
hy: Hijri year.
hm: Hijri month.
hd: Hijri day.
gy: Gregorian year.
gm: Gregorian month.
gd: Gregorian day.
