Ramadan is the ninth Islamic month and is based on the lunar calender. Because the lunar calendar is about 11 days shorter than the solar calendar, Ramadan is always moving. As of 2010, Ramadan is expected to begin on or around August 11, 2010 and will finish on or around September 10, 2010. Eid is the holiday after Ramadan and starts on the first of Shawwal, the tenth month of the lunar year.
the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar of of approx 355 days. Ramadan is an entire month of 28 to 30 days, depending when the new moon is sighted. Since we in the West follow a solar calendar of 365 .25 days, it stands to reason, the Islamic calendar month of Ramadan would fall ten days earlier every year. So it takes approx 30 years to make its way completely around the calendar and for about 3 years every 30, Christmas Day conincides with the month of Ramadan.
5th of Dhu al-Hijjah 1393
Muslims stop fasting when they can see the new moon that is the first day of next Islamic calendar month.
Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset every day for the full month of Ramadan. Ramadan is itself the name of a month in the Islamic Calendar. As the Islamic Calendar has only 354 days in its year, the month of Ramadan does not stay consistent with one Gregorian month. This year, Ramadan falls roughly within the Gregorian month of July, but has been within every month from January to December.
This year (2014) it will be the month of July. Last year it was in July-August. Ramadan is according to the Islamic calendar but also by moon sighting so it usually moves every year on when exactly it starts.
