Ramadan 1448 AH falls in early 2027 (Gregorian). The exact start date varies by 1–2 days between communities depending on which method they follow:
| Method | 1 Ramadan 1448 = Gregorian date |
|---|---|
| Tabular Islamic calendar (civil, Friday-epoch) | 8 February 2027 (Monday) |
| Saudi Umm al-Qura (calculated visibility at Mecca) | 18 February 2027 (Thursday) (per Islamic Finder reference) |
| Local moon sighting | ±1 day around 18 February 2027 |
QiblaWeb uses the tabular calendar for date display because it is deterministic and runs without external data. Every Ramadan page on the site shows this disclaimer, and we recommend you follow your local community for the actual fast.
