### Description
I used to use Date Picker with Hijri dates, using native adabter and every thing works fine, after updating to angular 18.1 I got this issue:
* in main.ts => regist SA locale
```
import LocaleSA from '@angular/common/locales/ar-SA';
registerLocaleData(LocaleSA, LanguageEnum.AR);
```
* in app.config.ts => provide native adapter
```
provideNativeDateAdapter(),
{ provide: MAT_DATE_LOCALE, useValue: 'ar-SA' },
```

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the locale registration in main.ts and the native date adapter and MAT_DATE_LOCALE configuration in app.config.ts. Reproduce the date picker with the ar-SA locale, then verify that the displayed Hijri month and day match the selected value, specifically 22 Muharram rather than 30 Shawal.
