About Ramadan starts
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and a sacred period for Muslims worldwide. The month is widely observed through dawn-to-sunset fasting, increased prayer, Qur'an recitation, reflection, and acts of charity. The first day depends on the start of the Hijri month, so the Gregorian date shifts earlier by about eleven days each year. In many places, the start is confirmed by religious authorities after moon-sighting reports, while calendar-based dates are used for planning. This page uses the Ramadan start date already present in timekit's 2026-2035 religious holidays data, computed with the site's Hijri engine. Local observance can vary by one day.
Calendar note: Computed with the local Hijri Umm al-Qura-aligned engine; local crescent sightings may differ.
