Welcome to the Ramadan Countdown. This page helps you find exactly how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds are left until the start of the holy month of Ramadan. As Ramadan approaches, Muslims around the world prepare spiritually, mentally, and practically for fasting, prayer, and reflection. Knowing the remaining time before Ramadan begins allows you to plan ahead with clarity and confidence.
Our Ramadan Countdown updates automatically and shows the remaining time based on accurate calculations and your local timezone.
When Does Ramadan Start?
Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new moon that marks the start of the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Because the Islamic calendar follows lunar cycles, the exact start date of Ramadan can vary by country or region depending on local moon sighting practices.
For this reason, Ramadan does not begin on a fixed date in the Gregorian calendar and moves approximately ten to eleven days earlier each year.
About Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a sacred period of fasting, prayer, self-discipline, and spiritual growth. During this month, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs while focusing on worship, charity, and good deeds.
Ramadan is a time for increased reflection, strengthening faith, and improving personal character. It is also a period that emphasizes compassion, patience, and community.
