About these tools
Each countdown shows the days, hours, minutes and seconds left, with the date in both the Gregorian and Hijri calendars. Eid dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar and are confirmed by moon sighting, so they can move by a day.
You can share any countdown on WhatsApp in one tap, or make your own countdown to a wedding, a trip or a graduation and send the link to family and friends.
