How many days until the last ten nights of Ramadan?
There are 108 days until the last ten nights of Ramadan 1448 AH. They begin with the 21st night, at sunset on Saturday, February 27, 2027.
When do the last ten nights start and end?
They begin at sunset on the 20th day of Ramadan, which is Saturday, February 27, 2027. Their first daytime is Sunday, February 28, 2027. They end at sunset on the last day of Ramadan, the eve of Eid al-Fitr, expected on Tuesday, March 9, 2027.
When the month has 29 days there are nine nights, and when it has 30 there are ten. They are called "the ten" either way.
Why people look up the date early
Laylat al-Qadr is sought in these nights, and this is when i'tikaf, the retreat in the mosque, is observed. Anyone planning i'tikaf or Umrah needs the Gregorian dates weeks ahead to arrange leave and bookings. Makkah and Madinah are busier in this period than at any other point in the month.
The odd nights
The odd nights are the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th. Each begins on the evening of the day before: the 27th night, for example, begins at sunset on 26 Ramadan.

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
