When is Ramadan 2027?
On the calculated Umm al-Qura calendar used by The Dunya Files, 1 Ramadan 1448 AH falls on Monday, February 8, 2027. In traditional Islamic day reckoning, the new day begins at sunset, so the transition into Ramadan would begin on the evening before the first fasting day.
That does not make February 8 a universal religious announcement. The actual beginning observed in your location can depend on a local or national moon-sighting decision. As Ramadan approaches, follow the mosque, authority or scholarly body you normally rely on for the confirmed start.

Why can the date differ by one day?
The Islamic calendar is lunar. The start of a month can be established differently depending on the authority a community follows. Some rely on local or regional crescent sighting, while others use a calculated calendar for civil planning.
This is why two reliable sources can publish slightly different Ramadan dates before the month is officially confirmed. A countdown is useful for preparation, but it should stay clearly labelled as an estimate until the relevant local announcement is made.
Why does Ramadan move earlier each year?
The Hijri year is based on lunar months and is shorter than the Gregorian solar year. As a result, Ramadan generally moves roughly 10 to 11 days earlier through the Gregorian calendar from one year to the next. That is why Ramadan can fall in different seasons over time.
