Ramadan Countdown
Count down to the expected beginning of the next Ramadan using the Umm al-Qura calendar as a practical planning reference.
When is Ramadan confirmed?
Ramadan begins with the start of the ninth Islamic month. Communities may rely on different moon-sighting authorities or calculation policies, so the confirmed local beginning can differ from a pre-calculated calendar date.
What does this countdown measure?
The countdown measures whole calendar days between today and the calculated first day of Ramadan in the Umm al-Qura calendar. It is designed for planning rather than for issuing a religious announcement.
What should I follow when Ramadan is close?
As Ramadan approaches, use the announcement from the mosque, authority or scholarly body you normally follow. The countdown remains useful for preparation, but a local confirmed date takes precedence over a generic calculated estimate for your own observance.
