The expected date for the beginning of Ramadan 1448 AH in the United Arab Emirates has emerged, with astronomical calculations indicating that the holy month could begin on Monday, February 8, 2027.

According to calculations by the International Astronomical Centre, the new moon marking the beginning of Ramadan is expected to be born at 3:56am UTC on Saturday, February 6, 2027.

Astronomical authorities are expected to assess the possibility of sighting the Ramadan crescent on February 6 and 7. The pre-calculated Hijri calendar also indicates February 8 as the likely first day of Ramadan.

If the UAE’s official religious calendar follows the astronomical calculations, Muslims across the country are expected to observe their first fast on February 8.

However, the final date will depend on the official sighting of the crescent moon. Since Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new crescent, the first day of fasting can vary by one day between countries.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Hijri calendar and holds special religious significance for Muslims worldwide. During the holy month, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset and observe additional prayers, charity and other religious practices.
