رمضان
Ramadan 1447 AH
The month of fasting, from dawn to sunset, and of Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, in its last ten nights.
Begins on Wednesday 18 February 2026 and runs 30 days, to Thursday 19 March 2026.
Projected from the Umm al-Qura calendar, as ActivePray reckons it. A Hijri month truly begins when the new crescent is seen, so it can open a day either side of this. Like every day of the Hijri year, each day begins at sunset the evening before.
