Afghan Date Converter (afghandateconverter.com) is a free web app for converting and understanding dates across the Afghan Shamsi (Solar Hijri) calendar, the Miladi calendar, and the Islamic lunar Hijri calendar. It exists because people in Afghanistan and the diaspora constantly move between these systems for school, travel, family records, and official paperwork.
The site is developed and maintained by Khalid Danishyar. The goal is practical, transparent tools: clear conversions, honest explanations, and enough editorial content that visitors can learn when to use each calendar—not only how to click convert.
Afghan Date Converter is an independent web project by Khalid Danishyar. It serves people in Afghanistan and the Afghan diaspora worldwide. For support, contact us at the address below.

Enter a date in Shamsi, Miladi, or Islamic Hijri on the home converter; the other calendars update in your browser. Year calendars, guides, and related tools help with planning and explanations. Conversion algorithms run client-side—we do not require accounts or file uploads for core date tools. Advertising and analytics partners may use cookies as described in the Privacy Policy.
Primary audiences include people filling Afghan civil forms that use Shamsi dates, families comparing birth dates across Shamsi and Miladi certificates, students and teachers planning around Nowruz, and anyone who needs lunar Hijri context for religious observances without confusing it with Solar Hijri. International colleagues who only see Miladi dates can convert into Shamsi before coordinating with partners inside Afghanistan.
Conversions follow standard Solar Hijri / Jalali and Islamic calendar algorithms used across reliable calendar libraries, including leap-year handling for Hut in Shamsi and February in Miladi. Results are intended for everyday planning and document preparation. For high-stakes legal filings, always cross-check against the issuing authority’s own calendar rules and local moon-sighting announcements when lunar dates matter.
Islamic Hijri on this site means the lunar calendar. Afghan Shamsi is Solar Hijri. Mixing those labels is the most common source of user error; our Guides section explains the difference in plain language.
