Ramadan follows the Islamic lunar calendar, so it starts about eleven days earlier each Gregorian year. The date here comes from the Umm al-Qura calendar used across the Gulf; where the month begins with a local moon sighting it can start a day either side.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and that calendar runs on the moon. 🌙 A lunar year is about 354 days, roughly 11 days shorter than the one on your wall, so Ramadan starts about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year.
Over three decades it walks all the way around the seasons. Fast in midsummer once and you will fast in midwinter about 16 years later.
- The month runs 29 or 30 days, ending with Eid al-Fitr.
- Dates here come from the Umm al-Qura calendar used across the Gulf. Where the month begins with a local moon sighting it can start a day either side.
- Set a target time to count to the first iftar rather than to midnight. 🕌

Questions people ask
Why is the date approximate?
Because in many places the month begins when the new crescent is actually seen. The calculated date can be a day out either way.
Does the counter know my local sunset?
No. It counts to midnight your time, or to a target time you set yourself.
