About Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, in which Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. It commemorates the revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad and is a time of prayer, charity and reflection.
The Islamic calendar is lunar and about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so Ramadan moves earlier each year. The date shown is the expected first day; the exact day depends on the local sighting of the crescent moon and can differ by a day between countries.
In 2029 it falls on a Tuesday. This countdown runs to the first moment of January 16 in the time zone you choose, so the figure matches the calendar day on your wall.
How Ramadan is celebrated
- Fasting from dawn (suhoor) to sunset (iftar)
- Special night prayers called Taraweeh
- Giving to charity (zakat and sadaqa)
- Gathering with family and friends for iftar
- Reading the Quran
