Ramadan 1448 is the ninth month of the Islamic year. The calendar is lunar, so Ramadan comes about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year: in 2026 it began on 18 February, in 2027 it is expected on 8 February.
If Ramadan lasts 29 days, Eid al-Fitr falls on Tuesday 9 March 2027; if it lasts 30, on Wednesday 10 March.
