This page is not a snapshot. The figures are recalculated every time it loads, using the Asia/Karachi 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.

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.
