Return Value: This method returns the current Hijrah date according to the Hijrah calendar system from the specified clock.

Below are the examples to illustrate the now() method:

Example 1:

Java




// Java program to demonstrate now() method
  
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
  
            // Creating and initializing ZoneId
            ZoneId id = ZoneId.systemDefault();
  
            // Creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate = HijrahDate.now(id);
  
            // Display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahDate: "
                               + hidate);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can"
                               + " not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

HijrahDate: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1441-06-25

// Java program to demonstrate now() method
  
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // Creating and initializing ZoneId
            ZoneId id = ZoneId.of("Z");
  
            // Creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate = HijrahDate.now(id);
  
            // Display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahDate: "
                               + hidate);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can"
                               + " not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
