Ramadan timetable 2026

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُونَ

“O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.” (Quran | Surah Baqarah:183).

*Please keep in mind that the dates for the start of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are not set in stone and will be confirmed when the new moon is seen. The East London Mosque gave us the information we needed to make this 2026 Ramadan timetable, which is only for London.

Thekabarnews.com—The Muslim World League calendar has provided the times for the Ramadan timetable in 2026. Most Muslims will start Ramadan on the evening of Tuesday, February 17, 2026, and end it on the evening of Wednesday, March 18, 2026. The moon’s visibility determines the exact dates.

Sawm, or fasting, is the fourth pillar of Islam. Fasting takes place during the month of Ramadan, which is a holy month in the Islamic calendar (lunar calendar).
The month of Ramadan contains the most blessed of nights, also known as Laylatul Qadr, about which Allah ﷻ asks us:

“Indeed, We sent the Qur’an down during the Night of Decree.

And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.

Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.”

[Quran | Surah Al-Qadr:1 – 5).

As the Islamic calendar is based around the lunar cycle, the holy month of Ramadan rotates by approximately 10 days each year. The month of Shaban, the eighth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, finishes, and Ramadan officially begins. On Tuesday, February 17, most Muslims this year marked the start of the holy month of Ramadan.
