Eid al-Fitr 1448 countdown
Expected 9 March 2027 · 1 Shawwal 1448
Eid al-Fitr 1448 is expected on 9 March 2027 — the morning the fast ends and Shawwal begins. Like the start of Ramadan, it waits on the new crescent: if the moon is sighted a day later, so is Eid.

About this date
The countdown targets 9 March 2027, the 1 Shawwal 1448 date on the Umm al-Qura calendar. It is marked expected for a reason: Eid al-Fitr 1448 follows the moon, not the algorithm. When the crescent is sighted a day early or late, the real date moves and this countdown will be a day off — that is the system working as intended, not an error.
