About Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when Muslims fast from dawn to sunset for 29 or 30 days. It is a month of prayer, charity and reading the Quran, and each day's fast is broken at sunset with iftar.
Ramadan is set by the Islamic lunar calendar, so it starts about 11 days earlier each year. In 2027 it lands on a Tuesday, in week 6 of the year. Expected date in Pakistan. Pakistan usually marks Islamic dates one day after Saudi Arabia, and the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee confirms the final date after the moon is sighted.
How long until Ramadan?
Counting from today, Sunday, October 4, 2026, there are 128 days until Ramadan 2027. That works out to 18 weeks and 2 days, or about 4 months and 5 days.
If you only count working days, there are 92 business days (Monday to Friday) left, with 18 weekends in between. Kids counting down can think of it as 128 sleeps, and in hours that is about 3,072.
