Questions
Ramadan, answered
Dates, suhoor and iftar, and why the month can start a day apart.
When does Ramadan 2018 start?
Ramadan 1439 AH is expected to begin on 16 May 2018 and last 30 days, with Eid al-Fitr on 15 Jun 2018. The exact start depends on the crescent sighting in your country.
What time is suhoor and iftar in Columbus?
Suhoor ends at Fajr and iftar begins at Maghrib. For Columbus, the timetable below gives both times for every day of Ramadan, calculated with the Islamic Society of North America method. Confirm congregational times with your local mosque.
Why do Ramadan dates differ between countries?
The month begins with the local sighting of the new crescent. Saudi Arabia and many other countries follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, while others rely on local sighting, so the first fast can differ by a day.
