What is Ramadan?

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer, reflection, and community. It commemorates the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad. Fasting occurs from dawn (suhoor) to sunset (iftar) each day for about 29–30 days, ending with Eid al-Fitr.

Significance of Ramadan

A time for spiritual growth, self-discipline, and empathy for the less fortunate.
Strengthens community bonds through shared meals (iftar) and prayers (Taraweeh).
One of the Five Pillars of Islam, obligatory for adult Muslims.

How to Calculate Days Manually

No calculator? Here's how to count days to Ramadan 2025 by hand:

Method 1: Simple Subtraction

If today is in February 2025:

Subtract today’s date from Ramadan’s date.
Example: On February 1, 2025, 28 - 1 = 27 days.

If today is before February 2025:

Add remaining days in the current month, days in the months until January, plus Ramadan’s date in February.
Example: On June 26, 2025, 4 days (June) + 31 (July) + 31 (August) + 30 (September) + 31 (October) + 30 (November) + 31 (December) + 31 (January) + 28 (February) = 247 days.

Month	Days
June	30
July	31
August	31
September	30
October	31
November	30
