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.
