About Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Hijri calendar. Muslims fast from dawn until sunset throughout the month. The countdown uses the Gregorian date corresponding to 1 Ramadan in the Umm al-Qura calendar for planning. The start of the month in Saudi Arabia is confirmed by the official moon-sighting announcement, so the displayed date remains provisional until that announcement.
Frequently asked questions
Does Ramadan start on the same Gregorian date each year?
No. Ramadan follows the Hijri calendar, so its Gregorian date changes each year. Its official start is confirmed by the competent Saudi authority.
