How to read the table

Each row is one Hijri year. The first date is the expected first day of fasting. The second is the first day of Eid al-Fitr, the day after Ramadan ends. The gap between them is the length of the month, either 29 or 30 days.

How reliable are the dates far ahead?

The Umm al-Qura calendar is computed astronomically in advance, so these dates are fixed within it. What can differ is the official announcement in each country, because that depends on the crescent actually being seen. When there is a difference it is normally a single day.

The table is useful for planning ahead: booking Umrah, arranging leave, or seeing which season Ramadan will fall in years from now. You will notice the month moves about eleven days earlier each Gregorian year.

Frequently asked questions

When is Ramadan 2027?

Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday, February 8, 2027, and to end with Eid al-Fitr on Tuesday, March 9, 2027.

Can Ramadan happen twice in one Gregorian year?

Yes. Because the Hijri year is about eleven days shorter, Ramadan falls twice in the same Gregorian year roughly once every 33 years. The next time is 2030, once in January and again in December.

Why does Ramadan start on different days in different countries?

Some countries rely on a local moon sighting, some on astronomical calculation, and some follow another country's announcement. Those differences can shift the start by one day.

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
