Countdown to Ramadan 1447 AH | Days Left Until Ramadan 2026

Ramadan Mubarak

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, and it is a blessed month that holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims around the world. During this holy month, Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn until sunset, dedicating themselves to worship and drawing closer to Allah. Ramadan is considered a month of mercy and forgiveness, and it includes Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), which is better than a thousand months.

Ramadan is characterized by a unique spiritual atmosphere. Mosques are filled with worshippers, acts of charity and generosity increase, and families and friends gather around the iftar table. It is a month of forgiveness and social solidarity, and an opportunity to renew faith and purify the soul from sins.

Benefits of Fasting During Ramadan Mubarak

Fasting in Ramadan is not only a spiritual act of worship; it also has many benefits that include health, psychological, and social aspects:

Spiritual Benefits

Fasting strengthens faith and enhances one’s connection with Allah. It teaches patience, endurance, and empathy for the poor and needy. It is an opportunity for repentance and returning to the straight path.

Health Benefits

Fasting helps cleanse the body of toxins and improve digestion. It also contributes to weight loss and helps regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Fasting gives the digestive system a period of rest, allowing it to renew and recover.

Psychological Benefits

Fasting enhances a sense of achievement and self-discipline. It reduces stress and anxiety by focusing on worship and remembrance of Allah. It also improves mood and increases feelings of happiness and contentment.

Social Benefits

Ramadan strengthens family and social bonds through gatherings for iftar and suhoor, and it promotes social solidarity through charity and feeding the poor.

How Many Months Are Left Until Ramadan?

As of today (December 2025), approximately two and a half months are remaining until the beginning of Ramadan 1447 AH, which is expected to start at the end of February or the beginning of March 2026 (Gregorian).

Since the Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle, the start of Ramadan shifts each year by about 10–11 days compared to the Gregorian calendar. This means that Ramadan moves through all the seasons over a cycle of approximately 33 years.

How Long Until Ramadan 2027?

Ramadan 2027 (Ramadan 1448 AH) is expected to begin around mid-February 2027. From today’s date, there are approximately one year and two months remaining until the start of Ramadan 2027.

In days, this is about 420 days, noting that the exact date depends on the sighting of the Ramadan crescent moon.

How Long Until Ramadan 2026?

Ramadan 2026 is Ramadan 1447 AH and is expected to begin at the end of February or the beginning of March 2026, specifically around February 28, 2026.

From today’s date (December 21, 2025), only the countdown mentioned above remains until the beginning of this blessed month. This means that Muslims are very close to welcoming the holy month of Ramadan, and it is time to prepare spiritually and physically for it.

How Long Until Ramadan 2030?

Ramadan 2030 (Ramadan 1451 AH) is expected to begin in early January 2030, meaning it will occur during the winter season.

From today’s date, there are approximately four years and two weeks remaining until the start of Ramadan 2030, which is about 1,475 days.

How Long Until Ramadan 1447?

Ramadan 1447 AH is the upcoming Ramadan, expected to begin at the end of February or the beginning of March 2026.

As mentioned earlier, from today’s date (December 21, 2025), there are approximately 69 days remaining until the beginning of Ramadan 1447. The exact start will be determined by the sighting of the Ramadan crescent moon, which is the traditional Islamic method based on visual observation of the new moon.

How Long Until Ramadan 3000?

Ramadan in the year 3000 (Gregorian) is extremely far in the future! From today’s date (December 21, 2025), there are approximately 974 years and 9 days remaining until the beginning of the year 3000.

Due to the difference between the Hijri and Gregorian calendars (the Hijri year is about 11 days shorter), Ramadan in the year 3000 Gregorian will roughly correspond to the year 3426 AH. Ramadan in that year is expected to occur around mid-August 3000.

Of course, these are purely astronomical estimates, and Allah knows best what the future holds.

How Long Until Ramadan 4000?

Ramadan in the year 4000 (Gregorian) is even further in the future. From today’s date, there are approximately 1,974 years remaining until the beginning of the year 4000.

At that distant time, the year 4000 Gregorian will approximately correspond to the year 4456 AH. Based on astronomical calculations, Ramadan in that year is expected to occur in late May or early June 4000.

These distant dates remind us that the Islamic calendar is a precise and continuous system, and that the month of Ramadan will continue to move through the seasons as long as life continues on Earth, by Allah’s will.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

When will Ramadan 2026 start?

Ramadan 2026 (Ramadan 1447 AH) is expected to begin at the end of February or around March 19–20, 2026, specifically around February 19, 2026. The exact date is determined by the sighting of the Ramadan crescent moon and is usually announced one or two days before the month begins.

In which month did Ramadan 2025 occur?

Ramadan 2025 (Ramadan 1446 AH) began in early March 2025 and ended in early April 2025. That year, Ramadan occurred during the spring season, resulting in moderate fasting hours and mild weather in most Arab and Islamic countries.

Why does Ramadan 2026 start so early?

Ramadan appears to “start earlier” each year because of the difference between the Hijri and Gregorian calendars. The Hijri year consists of 354 or 355 days (based on the lunar cycle), while the Gregorian year has 365 or 366 days.

This difference of about 10–11 days causes Ramadan to move earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar. Therefore, if Ramadan 2025 began on March 1, Ramadan 2026 would begin around February 18–19, about 10–11 days earlier. This is not early in an absolute sense; it is simply part of the natural cycle of the lunar calendar.

What is the timing of Ramadan 2026?

Expected Ramadan 2026 schedule:

• Start of Ramadan 1447 AH: around February 19, 2026 (subject to moon sighting)

• End of Ramadan and start of Eid al-Fitr: around March 19 or 20, 2026

Daily fasting times (imsak and iftar) vary depending on geographical location. In Arab countries, Ramadan 2026 will fall in late winter and early spring, which means:

• Moderate to shorter fasting hours (about 12–14 hours, depending on the country)

• Mild and suitable weather for fasting

• Daylight hours gradually increasing throughout the month

It is recommended to follow local calendars and official announcements from religious authorities in each country to know the exact start and end of Ramadan, as well as daily fasting times.
