## How to call it through Zero

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need accurate Umm al-Qura Hijri calendar conversions with Arabic-language output (month names, formatted strings) for Islamic event planning, Arabic document generation, or scheduling around Ramadan, Hajj, or other Islamic occasions. Prefer this over generic date libraries when you need official Arabic month names and formatted Arabic date strings rather than just numeric equivalents.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format (non-YYYY-MM-DD or non-iYYYY-iMM-iDD) returns an error
- Dates outside supported Umm al-Qura calendar range may return errors or null values
- Missing required query params defaults to today's date (Gregorian to Hijri)
- Network or payment authorization failure results in 402 or 5xx errors
