Ramadan & Eid Countdown

There are 214 days until Ramadan begins (expected Sunday, 7 February 2027), 244 days until Eid al-Fitr (expected Tuesday, 9 March 2027), and 312 days until Eid al-Adha (expected Sunday, 16 May 2027). These are calculated from the standard tabular Islamic calendar — the same conversion used on our Hijri date converter — not local moon sighting, so actual observed dates can shift by a day.

These dates are a tabular (arithmetic) calculation, not based on moon sighting. The actual start of Ramadan and each Eid is confirmed locally by moon sighting or astronomical announcement and can fall a day earlier or later than shown here — always follow your local mosque or national announcement.

When does Ramadan start this year?

Based on the tabular Islamic calendar, this year's Ramadan is expected to begin around Sunday, 7 February 2027 (1 Ramadan 1448 AH). This is a calculated estimate, not a moon-sighting confirmation — your local mosque or national Islamic authority will confirm the actual start once the crescent moon is sighted (or the month is astronomically determined) the evening before.

How is this countdown calculated?

This page computes the next occurrence of 1 Ramadan, 1 Shawwal (Eid al-Fitr), and 10 Dhu al-Hijjah (Eid al-Adha) using the same tabular Hijri-to-Gregorian conversion as our Hijri date converter, so both tools share one consistent source of truth. The countdown itself then ticks down client-side in your browser using that fixed target date.

Why might the actual date differ from this countdown?

Many countries and communities confirm the start of Ramadan and each Eid by sighting the crescent moon, which depends on location, weather, and the method followed — this can shift the observed date by a day compared to a tabular calculation like this one. Treat this countdown as a reliable planning estimate, and follow your local moon-sighting announcement for the religiously observed date.

Frequently asked

Is this countdown based on moon sighting?

No. It uses a tabular (arithmetic) Islamic calendar calculation, the same standard method used by our Hijri date converter. It's a reliable planning estimate, but the religiously observed date depends on local moon sighting and can differ by a day.

Why do Ramadan and Eid dates move earlier every year on the Gregorian calendar?

The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is purely lunar, with a year of about 354 or 355 days — roughly 10 to 11 days shorter than the solar Gregorian year. That difference means Ramadan and each Eid shift earlier by about 10 days annually against the Gregorian calendar.

Does this page update automatically, or do I need to check back?

It updates automatically. Every time this page loads, the countdown targets are recalculated fresh on the server for the current date — there is no cached or stale content to refresh manually.

What is the difference between Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha?

Eid al-Fitr ("festival of breaking the fast") falls on 1 Shawwal, marking the end of Ramadan. Eid al-Adha ("festival of sacrifice") falls on 10 Dhu al-Hijjah, during the Hajj season, commemorating the Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to Allah.

Can I see the exact Hijri date for any day, not just these three?

Yes — use our Hijri ⇄ Gregorian date converter, which shares the same underlying calculation as this countdown and lets you convert any date in either direction.
