FAQ
When does Ramadan start in 2021?
The tabular calendar has one Ramadan period touching 2021: 13 April 2021 to 12 May 2021. A period can cross a Gregorian-year boundary, so the start or end may fall in a neighbouring year. Confirm the observed date with your local authority because moon sighting can shift it by about a day.
Why is there one date in 2021?
A Hijri year is about eleven days shorter than a Gregorian year. Near the turn of the Gregorian year, one Ramadan can continue from December into January and another can begin the following December.
Can the Ramadan 2021 date change?
Yes. This page uses a deterministic tabular calculation for planning. Religious dates follow the sighting or official determination of the new moon and can differ by a day, occasionally two.
