Each row is a Hijri year: the start of Ramadan (1 Ramadan) and its length on the calendar, Eid al-Fitr (1 Shawwal), the Day of Arafah (9 Dhu al-Hijjah) and Eid al-Adha (10 Dhu al-Hijjah), all with Gregorian dates and weekdays. The current Hijri year is highlighted.

Ramadan moves about 11 days a year

Ramadan starts on 1 March 2025, 18 February 2026, 8 February 2027 and 28 January 2028, earlier every year, because a Hijri year has only 354 or 355 days. It falls in winter in these years, then moves back through autumn and summer, returning to the same season after about 33 years.

29 or 30 days?

It varies: Ramadan has 30 days in 1447 AH and 29 in 1448 AH on the calendar. The actual length each year is settled by the sighting of the Shawwal crescent. Dates here follow Umm al-Qura, which is ideal for planning, while official announcements follow moon sighting. See The Umm al-Qura calendar explained and the live countdown.

Frequently asked questions

When does Ramadan 1448 start?

On the Umm al-Qura calendar, Monday 8 February 2027, with Eid al-Fitr on Tuesday 9 March 2027. The official start follows moon sighting.

Why does Ramadan come earlier every year?

The Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so Ramadan arrives 10–11 days earlier each year and cycles through all seasons in about 33 years.

Does the table match official announcements?

Often, but not always. The start of Ramadan, Shawwal and Dhu al-Hijjah is announced after moon sighting and can differ by a day.
