About the dates shown
Calculated with the tabular (arithmetic) Islamic calendar — a fixed mathematical rule, not local moon sighting. This is why real-world announced dates for Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha can differ by a day. Always confirm exact dates with your local mosque or national religious authority before making plans.
Conversion logic verified against api.aladhan.com's MATHEMATICAL calendar method across dates spanning 1850–2025, and round-trip tested. 100% client-side.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate are these dates?
This uses the tabular (arithmetic) Islamic calendar, the same mathematical approximation used by most software calendars. Real-world Islamic dates, especially the start of Ramadan and the two Eids, officially depend on local moon sighting or astronomical calculation announced by religious authorities, and can differ from this tool by 1 day (occasionally 2). Always confirm the exact date with your local mosque or national authority.
Why is Laylat al-Qadr not a single fixed date?
Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree) is well-established as one of the odd-numbered nights in the last ten nights of Ramadan, most commonly associated with the 27th, but its exact night is not definitively fixed in the sources — this tool marks the 27th as the most commonly observed night, while noting the full range.
