    You can’t use languages other than English with the standard date/DateTime constructs in PHP. The only way to do this was to set the locale using setlocale() and use the strfttime() function… however that function is now deprecated in favor of using the INTL/ICU extension’s IntlDateFormatter class:

    function getFormattedDateIntl(
    ?DateTime $date = null,
    ?string $locale = null,
    ?DateTimeZone $timezone = null,
    string $dateFormat
) {
    $date = $date ?? new DateTime();
    $locale = $locale ?? Locale::getDefault();
    $formatter = new IntlDateFormatter(
        $locale,
        IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
        IntlDateFormatter::FULL,
        $timezone,
        IntlDateFormatter::TRADITIONAL,
        $dateFormat
    );
    return $formatter->format($date);
}

function getWeekdayIntl(
    ?DateTime $date = null,
    ?string $locale = null,
    ?DateTimeZone $timezone = null
) {
    return getFormattedDateIntl($date, $locale, $timezone, 'eeee');
}

$islamicDateRight = getFormattedDateIntl(
    new DateTime(),
    'ar@calendar=islamic-civil',
    new DateTimeZone('Asia/Tehran'),
    'eeee dd MMMM'
);
