This page is not a snapshot. The figures are recalculated every time it loads, using the -04:00 time zone, so tomorrow the count will be one day smaller. If you bookmark the page you will always see the current gap rather than the number that was true on the day you saved it, and nobody has to edit anything for that to stay correct.

Planning around the date

For work and school planning the useful numbers are working days and weekends. Between today and Laylat al-Qadr there are 1,124 weekdays (Monday to Friday), 225 Saturdays and 225 Sundays. Take out public holidays in your region and you have a realistic count of working days left. If you are paid every two weeks, expect about 112 paydays before then, and about 224 if you are paid weekly.

Some people prefer to break a long wait into stages. The quarter mark of the range is Thursday, October 28, 2027, the halfway point is Saturday, November 25, 2028, and the three-quarter mark is Sunday, December 23, 2029. By the time Laylat al-Qadr arrives, 5.8% of 2031 will have gone by. There are 225 Fridays in the range, which is handy if your deadlines or deliveries land at the end of the week.

About Laylat al-Qadr

The 27th night of Ramadan, commonly observed as Laylat al-Qadr, computed from the tabular Hijri calendar. Because Laylat al-Qadr is a religious observance, many families organize travel, meals, services and time off around it. Congregations usually publish their own schedules, so treat the date here as the calendar date and confirm local timings with your community.

Laylat al-Qadr follows the Islamic lunar calendar, whose months last 29 or 30 days. The date here comes from the tabular Hijri calendar; when a community sights the crescent moon locally, the observed date can differ by a day.
