How many days until Ramadan 2027?
There are 88 days until Ramadan 1448 AH. The first day of fasting is expected on Monday, February 8, 2027, with the first Taraweeh prayer on the evening of Sunday, February 7, 2027.
When does Ramadan 1448 start?
In the Umm al-Qura calendar, 1 Ramadan 1448 AH falls on Monday, February 8, 2027. An Islamic day begins at sunset, so the month actually opens on the evening of Sunday, February 7, 2027. That is the night of the first Taraweeh prayer and the first suhoor.
This is a calculated date. The official announcement comes on the evening of 29 Shaban, after the crescent moon is looked for. If it is seen, fasting starts the next day. If it is not, Shaban runs to 30 days and Ramadan starts a day later. We update this page as soon as the announcement is made.
How long is Ramadan this year?
An Islamic month has 29 or 30 days. In the Umm al-Qura calendar, Ramadan 1448 lasts 29 days, which puts Eid al-Fitr on Tuesday, March 9, 2027.
Why does Ramadan move every year?
The Hijri year is lunar and runs 354 or 355 days, about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian year. Ramadan therefore arrives earlier each year and passes through every season over roughly 33 years. Someone who fasts in midsummer today will be fasting in winter about fifteen years from now.

Where the dates come from Hijri dates are calculated with the Umm al-Qura calendar through UmmahAPI and cross-checked against the Umm al-Qura tables in the ICU library. Islamic months officially begin with the sighting of the crescent, so the observed date can differ by one day from country to country. How we calculate dates
