Apple has supported the Hijri date in its systems for a long time, but unfortunately there is something essential that this feature is missing, which is the ability to modify the Hijri date by adding or subtracting days, and this is what makes us resort to external applications that add the correct Hijri date via a widget with the ability to modify it, and the iPhone application Islam supports the Hijri date widget, as well as the ability to modify it. In this article, we will learn how to add the Hijri date to the system, and how to add the Hijri date widget from the iPhone Islam application and modify this date if necessary.
How to add the Hijri calendar to your iPhone
Go to device settings, then tap Calendar
Click on Alternate Calendars
And choose the Hijri date

Can the Hijri calendar be modified on the iPhone?
Unfortunately, Apple does not provide the option to modify the “Hijri” calendar, and we hope that Apple will listen to us and put the option to modify the Hijri calendar, because it is often wrong. Perhaps one of the Arab Apple engineers who follow the iPhone Islam makes a suggestion for that, and the followers can also submit a suggestion to Apple with this via this sitePerhaps if Apple sees a lot of desire for this feature, it will put it in the next update.

All edited, thanks for the add
Hi
Thank you very much for your effort
But I have a comment regarding the modification of the Hijri date in the small lock screen widget at the bottom of the clock. It cannot be modified. I pressed it once to open the conversion from Hijri to AD. Or you must add the demolition directly from within your application, like some other applications, please search for the problem and try to solve it
iPhone 8
It should be pressed while in release mode and not after you have closed release mode and normal use
I modified it from Edit Widget
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
Today's Hijri date is Shawwal 18, and you found the Islam iPhone application, Shawwal 17?
The iPhone Islam application is for converting between dates, so the date cannot be set in it, otherwise the conversion will be ruined in the previous days. Modify the Hijri date as we mentioned in the article, the widget.
Nice service, I immediately started using it 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the wonderful article
There is no misunderstanding, I told you that it is known that the Hijri date cannot be modified, but rather the iPhone, but it is automatically modified by Apple in some countries, including Saudi Arabia
O Tariq Mansour, this is not true in Saudi Arabia, and in some countries, Apple adjusts the date according to the sighting of the crescent. The biggest example we have in Saudi Arabia, for example, is tomorrow, one of Ramadan, and on the iPhone 29 Sha’ban, it will be 12:00, one of Ramadan, and vice versa. I have never seen the date advanced in the month. iPhone For example, on the 30th of Shaaban, we went to the one of Ramadan with an iPhone.
Hello Ali Hussain Al Marfadi! 😊 There seems to be a misunderstanding regarding the subject of the Hijri date. In the same article, I mentioned that Apple supports the Hijri date in its systems, but there is no option to modify the Hijri date directly from the system settings. Therefore, we recommend using the iPhone Islam Widget, the Hijri date that can be modified. 📱🌙
Ok, I use voiceover, so how do I modify the Hijri date?
Welcome, Arwa Wael! 😊 As for adjusting the Hijri date using VoiceOver, unfortunately there is no direct way to modify the Hijri date from the system settings of your device. But you can use the Phone Islam application to add the Hijri date widget and adjust this date if necessary. After adding the widget, long press on the Hijri date widget, then press Edit widget using VoiceOver, so you can adjust the Hijri date by adding or subtracting any days from the settings. 🗓️🌙
Peace be upon you. We have requested from Apple on the website you mentioned to allow us to modify the Hijri date in the upcoming updates.
May Allah reward you
I used it for a while, but I did not know about the modification feature until today. May God reward you with all the best
Thank you for always conveying this clarification
Beautiful, creative and practical
Thank you, very useful topic
The Gregorian date is the correct one, and the whole world follows it. Forget about the Hijri date, which is not necessary
Did you attend Ramadan in Gregorian calendar? And Eid al-Fitr in AD? And the great birthday feast?
The Hijri calendar is the Islamic calendar and includes Islamic events
It is relative, there is no such thing as correct?! The Gregorian calendar depends on the sun and the Hijri depends on the moon. The reason for the Hijri difference sometimes is not due to its inaccuracy, but rather because the majority of Muslims depend on the Hijri based on vision and not astronomical calculations, although it is more accurate and you can calculate the whole year for you exactly like the Gregorian calendar. Umm Al-Qura Hijri calendar, for example, gives you the whole year and is accurate 100%, but Islamic countries do not adopt it for holidays and Ramadan, because the Messenger, peace be upon him, told us: “Fast when you see it and break your fast when you see it.” Likewise, the Hijri year is 11 days less than the Gregorian year, so that is why the beginning of Ramadan varies every year, and not because it is “not necessary.”
This is your opinion only and it is better to leave it to you alone
Also, Muslims rely on the Hijri date, and because it is a date belonging to Islam, it is important for Muslims, and this is something agreed upon among them
As for you, if you do not like the Hijri date, then you are free, do not depend on it and do not use it, but specialize in yourself and learn the etiquette of speech, do not interfere and impose your opinion on anyone and do not speak in this rude manner and say that it is not necessary, then this is false talk and only non-Muslims will say it
And we know that whoever is not a Muslim does not depend on the Hijri date and does not use it, and this is a natural matter because the Hijri date belongs to Muslims only.
Also, Fon Islam is an Islamic site, and all those who follow it are Muslims and are interested in everything that is Islamic.
It is impossible to be a Muslim, because a Muslim is proud of his religion and among the things in his religion is the Hijri calendar, the Hijri calendar is the migration of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, you have no honor. Another thing is that it is impossible to fast Ramadan and rejoice with the Muslims on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. If you do that, then you are an ignorant person because this does not happen with the Gregorian calendar, and by the way, the Gregorian calendar will not benefit the Muslim except to a small extent other than the Hijri calendar. Why? You will definitely know it, you ignorant person. Shame on you. Sorry to the readers, but this has upset me and people like him. It is impossible that I hear some people who do not give the Hijri calendar any importance, and the development was that we forgot the Hijri calendar.
