About the Ramadan Countdown
How long until Ramadan? This free Ramadan countdown shows a live count of the days, hours, minutes and seconds until the estimated first day of the holy month, so you can prepare spiritually and practically in good time.
Because the Islamic calendar is lunar and months begin with the sighting of the crescent moon, the start date is an estimate that may shift by a day. The tool also lists the expected Ramadan dates for the next several years, all calculated in your browser with no signup.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does Ramadan start this year?
The tool shows the estimated first day based on astronomical calculations. The actual start is confirmed by local moon sighting, so it can differ by a day from the estimate.
Why is the date only an estimate?
The Islamic calendar is lunar and each month begins when the new crescent moon is sighted, which depends on location and weather. Calculated dates are close but not guaranteed.
Does the countdown update automatically?
Yes. The timer ticks down live while the page is open, showing the remaining days, hours, minutes and seconds until the estimated start.
Is any data collected?
No. The countdown is computed entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
