Ramadan countdown! Status

Note that in the Muslim calendar, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Muslims will celebrate Ramadan on the sunset of Friday, the 1st of April.  Although Ramadan is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar.  This difference means Ramadan moves in the Gregorian calendar approximately 11 days every year.  The date of Ramadan may also vary from country to country depending on whether the moon has been sighted or not.  The dates provided here are based on the dates adopted by the Fiqh Council of North America for the celebration of Ramadan.  Ramadan in 2022 will start on Saturday, the 2nd of April (2/4/2022) and will continue for 30 days until Sunday, the 1st of May.  Note that these dates are based on astronomical calculations to affirm each date, and not on the actual sighting of the moon with the naked eyes.
