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 larger. 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.

There are 133 Fridays in the range, which is handy if your deadlines or deliveries land at the end of the week.

About the start of Ramadan

The first day of Ramadan, computed from the Umm al-Qura Hijri calendar (observed start dates can shift ±1 day with local moon sighting). Because the start of Ramadan 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.

the start of Ramadan 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.

Using this month counter

Months are approximate by nature because they run from 28 to 31 days. This page counts complete calendar months: it stops at the same day of the month as today, or one month earlier if the target day comes first. The remainder in days is shown so you can see how close the next full month is.
