Countdown How Many Days Until Ramadan 2026?

Surabaya – The start of the month of Ramadan in Islam depends on the observation of the crescent moon and the calculation of the Hijri calendar. In Indonesia, the official determination is made through a meeting called isbat by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia.
The Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar used by Muslims worldwide to determine the dates of significant events and religious observances. It has 12 lunar months in a year of about 354 days, resulting in the Islamic year being shorter than the Gregorian year.
The sighting of the new moon marks the beginning of the month of Ramadan, a time of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community for Muslims around the world. The precise start date of Ramadan varies each year based on the lunar calendar, creating anticipation and excitement among the Muslim community.
In 2026, the predicted start of Ramadan in Indonesia is on February 18 or 19, depending on the confirmed sighting of the crescent moon. This significant month holds great spiritual importance for Muslims, as they engage in increased worship, charitable acts, and seeking forgiveness during this time.
As preparations begin for Ramadan 2026, Muslims in Indonesia and worldwide eagerly await the official announcement of the start date through the isbat decision by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The countdown to Ramadan creates a sense of unity and anticipation among the Muslim community, as they eagerly await the opportunity to strengthen their faith and connection with Allah.
With the anticipation building, Muslims diligently observe the night skies for the first sighting of the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. The spiritual significance of this month calls for increased devotion, prayer, and acts of kindness, making it a time of renewal and reflection for individuals and communities alike.
