How the date works
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, which is lunar. A lunar year is about 11 days shorter than a solar year, so Ramadan starts roughly 11 days earlier on the Gregorian calendar each year.
The month lasts 29 or 30 days and ends with Eid al-Fitr at the sighting of the new moon of Shawwal.
The dates here are astronomical estimates. The official start depends on moon sighting or on a calculated calendar, and can differ by a day between countries and communities. Confirm with your local mosque or religious authority.
Fasting runs from dawn to sunset, so daily prayer and fasting times depend on your location.
