Date Writing Format Guide — Writing Dates in Arabic Style
Writing dates in Arabic utilizes specific conjunctions and layouts. The day number is written first, followed by the month name, and ended by the year. For formal cards, a connector like "الموافق" (corresponding to) is used between the Hijri and Gregorian dates.

English to Arabic Date: Write a Date for Invitations and Certificates
This converter runs from an English-written date toward its Arabic form, and its natural home is presentation: wedding invitations, Nikah certificates, birth announcements, graduation cards, and mosque notices that carry both languages. The need here is not a private lookup but a public wording, a date that will be printed, framed, or read aloud, so accuracy of wording matters as much as accuracy of arithmetic. A month name spelled wrong on an invitation is a different kind of error from a day miscounted in a diary.
Take a worked example through the full journey. An English date of 1 January 2026 becomes 12 Rajab 1447 AH (local moon sighting may shift this by a day), and this page shows that result in Arabic wording and script suitable for copying onto a card or certificate. Checking the wording here before printing saves the embarrassment of reprinting, and it lets a bilingual family confirm that both versions of the invitation say the same day.
How this page differs from its siblings: the Arabic date converter helps you read an Arabic-script date you already have, while this page helps you produce one from an English starting point, for display. For a private numeric conversion with no presentation need, use the Gregorian to Hijri converter; for wording a date for an invitation or certificate, this page is the right one.
