It finds 1 Ramadan inside the Gregorian year in the Umm al-Qura table. End = 1 Shawwal - 1 day, length 29 or 30 days, and Eid al-Fitr = 1 Shawwal.
Example
Inputs: Gregorian year = 2,026. Result: First day of Ramadan: Wednesday, 18 February 2026 (2026-02-18); Hijri year: 1447 AH; Last day of Ramadan: Thursday, 19 March 2026 (2026-03-19).
Limits and caveats
- Dates come from Umm al-Qura; fasting officially starts with the sighting announcement and can differ by a day.
- Countries that follow local sighting may start Ramadan on a different day.
Questions about this tool
When is Ramadan 2027?
In Umm al-Qura, Ramadan 1448 AH starts on 8 February 2027; the official announcement follows sighting.
How can Ramadan start twice in one year?
If it starts in early January it returns about 354 days later before the end of December, as in 2030.
Why does Ramadan move earlier each year?
A Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than a Gregorian year, so Ramadan cycles through all seasons in about 33 years.
