myRes[0] = day; //calculated day (CE)

myRes[1] = month-1; //calculated month (CE)
myRes[2] = year; //calculated year (CE)
myRes[3] = jd-1; //julian day number
myRes[4] = wd-1; //weekday number
myRes[5] = id; //islamic date
myRes[6] = im-1; //islamic month
myRes[7] = iy; //islamic year
return myRes;
}
function writeIslamicDate(adjustment) {
var wdNames = new Array("Ahad","Ithnin","Thulatha","Arbaa","Khams","Jumuah","Sabt");
var iMonthNames = new Array("Muharram","Safar","Rabi'ul Awwal","Rabi'ul Akhir",
"Jumadal Ula","Jumadal Akhira","Rajab","Sha'ban",
"Ramadan","Shawwal","Dhul Qa'ada","Dhul Hijja");
var iDate = kuwaiticalendar(adjustment);
var outputIslamicDate = wdNames[iDate[4]] + ", "
+ iDate[5] + " " + iMonthNames[iDate[6]] + " " + iDate[7] + " AH";
return outputIslamicDate;
}

This converts current computer date to hijri. And with a little modification you can achieve that this snippet change any date to
islamic
document.write(writeIslamicDate(1));

Excellent, can you please tell me what this adjustment / adjust variable is used for?? AtanuCSE Jun 19 '14 at 5:19
"Adjust" variable is used to correct the shift in Hijri dates which occurs because of variable moon status and visibility on different months. Ahmed Said Apr 1 '15

If you need only the year of Hijri date converted from Gregorian date (Miladi date) you can simply write this equation in javascript:
var GregorianYear = (new Date()).getFullYear();
var HijriYear = Math.round((GregorianYear - 622) * (33 / 32));

you can use this simple equation in the footer in master page like ...
<script type="text/javascript">document.write((new Date()).getFullYear())</script> - <script type="text/javascript">var y = (new Date()).getFullYear();
var h = Math.round((y - 622) * (33 / 32));document.write(h)</script>

you will get: 1435 - 2014 ...

you can also use C# embedded in asp page as:
<%= DateTime.Now.Year %> - <%= Math.Round((DateTime.Now.Year - 622) * 1.03125) %>

will return : 2014 - 1436
