Ramadan 1448 countdown
Expected 8 February 2027 · 1 Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on 8 February 2027. This countdown ticks toward that expected date — the actual start is declared when the new crescent is sighted, so treat the final day or two as approximate. The first taraweeh prayer is held the evening before.

About this date
The countdown targets 8 February 2027, the 1 Ramadan 1448 date on the Umm al-Qura calendar. It is marked expected for a reason: Ramadan 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.

Frequently asked questions
When does Ramadan 2027 start?
Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on 8 February 2027 (1 Ramadan, Umm al-Qura calendar). The observed start depends on the moon sighting and may differ by a day in your country.
How accurate is this countdown?
It counts down to the calculated expected date. The real announcement comes from moon-sighting committees — usually on the evening of 29 Sha’ban.
What if the moon is sighted a day early or late?
Then Ramadan starts a day early or late, and this countdown will be off by that day. That is normal — the countdown follows the calculation, the month follows the moon.
When is the first taraweeh?
Taraweeh begins on the night before the first fast — the evening before 8 February 2027, once the crescent has been confirmed.
