Ramadan Countdown

Countdown to Ramadan 2025. Track days, hours, minutes, and seconds until the holy month. Know when Ramadan starts this year.

What is Ramadan Countdown?

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs. It is a time for spiritual growth, self-discipline, and increased devotion.

Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon and lasts 29 or 30 days. The exact date varies each year in the Gregorian calendar because the Islamic calendar is lunar. This countdown helps you prepare for the holy month by showing exactly how much time remains.

Formula

Ramadan dates are determined by the Islamic lunar calendar:

Ramadan 1446 AH ≈ February 28, 2025

Ramadan 1447 AH ≈ February 17, 2026

Ramadan 1448 AH ≈ February 7, 2027

The date shifts ~11 days earlier each Gregorian year.

How to Calculate

Check the countdown to see how many days remain until Ramadan.
Use the remaining time to prepare spiritually and physically.
Plan your schedule for Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (breaking fast).
Set goals for Quran reading, prayer, and charity during Ramadan.

Example

If today is January 15, 2025, and Ramadan starts on February 28, 2025, there are 44 days remaining. That gives you over 6 weeks to prepare spiritually, plan your schedule, and set meaningful goals for the holy month.
