Ramadan 2026: Dates, Significance, and Eid al-Fitr Projections

Ramadan is a special month for Muslims where they fast from sunrise to sunset.

This year, 2026, it is expected to start around February 19th.

The Islamic calendar follows the moon, so Ramadan starts a little earlier each year.

It's a time for praying, thinking about God, and being kind to others.

Ramadan lasts for about a month.

When it ends, there's a big celebration called Eid al-Fitr.

This holiday is expected to be on March 20th, 2026.

It's like a holiday to celebrate finishing the month of fasting.

The exact dates depend on when people can see the new moon in the sky.
