Countdown to Ramadan 1448 AH
Ramadan 2027 Overview
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar. It is a sacred month of fasting, spiritual reflection, prayer, and community. Because the Islamic calendar is strictly lunar—lasting about 354 days—Ramadan shifts approximately 11 days earlier each year relative to the 365-day Gregorian solar calendar.
In 2027, Ramadan falls during the late winter and early spring months of February and March for the Northern Hemisphere. This generally means shorter fasting days and cooler temperatures, making the fast physically easier than the summer Ramadans of the previous decade.
