🌙 233 days until Ramadan (start)
Ramadan (start) falls on Sunday, February 7, 2027 in your local time.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and the holiest period for Muslims, observed with dawn-to-sunset fasting, prayer, and reflection. Because the Hijri calendar is lunar and about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian year, Ramadan moves earlier each year and can fall in any season over time. This countdown computes the start date using the Umm al-Qura calculation shipped with the site; local observation of the new moon may shift the actual start by a day. The month culminates in Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking its end.
Date rule: First day of the 9th Hijri month (Umm al-Qura calculation).
The next Ramadan (start) is Sunday, February 7, 2027 — in 234 days. The countdown at the top of this page updates every second in your own time zone, so the number stays accurate wherever you are reading from. Because Ramadan (start) is treated as an all-day calendar date rather than a fixed clock time, the countdown rolls over at midnight in your local zone, not at midnight UTC. If you are coordinating across regions, set reminders against this date and let each person's device localise it.
This year the holiday lands on a Sunday, which means it falls on a weekend — many workplaces that observe it grant a substitute day off on the nearest weekday instead. Across the next five occurrences listed below, Ramadan (start) touches 4 different weekdays and lands on a weekend 3 of those 5 years — useful when you are planning travel, time off, or a recurring event around it.
Ramadan (start) belongs to the islamic calendar tradition. First day of the 9th Hijri month (Umm al-Qura calculation). Movable dates like this are resolved from the underlying calendar rule rather than a fixed Gregorian day, which is why the date moves around the calendar each year. Timekit computes every occurrence in the table below from that same rule, so the dates stay consistent with the rest of the site's calendar tools and update automatically as the years roll forward.
