About this site
An independent site that answers "how many days until?" for Islamic occasions and the dates people care about, with figures whose source is stated.
Why this site exists
Before every Ramadan and every Eid, people search for the same thing: how many days are left? What they usually find is a number with no source, or a date presented as final when it is a calculation that may still change. We built this site to give the number together with what you need to understand it: where the date comes from, whether it is confirmed or expected, and what could change it.
What we commit to
- Stating the source: every Hijri date here is calculated with the Umm al-Qura calendar, and the method is explained on the methodology page.
- Separating expected from confirmed: we do not call a date confirmed before the official announcement.
- Staying current: counts are recalculated every day, and dates are reviewed after each official announcement.
- Few pages: we prefer a small number of useful pages to hundreds of near-identical ones.
- No religious rulings: where a well-known point of practice is relevant we mention it briefly, and refer you to scholars for the details.
Two languages
The site is available in Arabic and English. The Arabic text is written in Arabic, not machine translated.
