No. The package is abandoned (last update 2017-12-26), has an unclear license ('Waqef' with no SPDX mapping), and carries high install friction. While it has no known vulnerabilities and no dependencies, the lack of maintenance and legal clarity make it unsuitable for production use.

What it is and what it does
ummalqura is a Python library for bidirectional conversion between Gregorian and Hijri (Islamic) calendar dates. It provides localized month and day names in both Arabic and English, along with utility methods to query Hijri dates for specific calendar boundaries and current dates.
The package wraps date conversion logic into a HijriDate class that accepts either Gregorian or Hijri dates as input and exposes properties for retrieving the equivalent date in the other calendar system. It has no runtime dependencies, making installation straightforward, but the project has been unmaintained since its final release on 2017-12-26.
Use it for
- Convert user-submitted Gregorian dates to Hijri equivalents for Islamic calendar applications or localized interfaces.
- Display Hijri month and day names in Arabic for applications serving Arabic-speaking users.
- Query the start and end dates of a given Hijri month for scheduling or calendar planning features.
- Retrieve current Hijri date and month for real-time Islamic calendar displays or event tracking.
