How accurate are these Ramadan dates?

The dates used are widely published astronomical predictions based on the calculated crescent moon sighting. Actual start dates may vary by one day depending on official moon sighting announcements in your country.

Why does Ramadan fall earlier each year?

Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic lunar calendar, which is about 354 days long — roughly 10 to 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. This causes the Gregorian date to shift earlier each cycle.

What time zone does the countdown use?

The countdown uses your device's local date and time, so it reflects your own timezone automatically.

What if today IS the first day of Ramadan?

The tool will show 0 days remaining and indicate that Ramadan has started today. It will also show the days remaining in the current Ramadan.

Are dates available beyond 2030?
