Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Some Muslims calculate Ramadan ahead of time while others wait until the new moon is sighted the night before. Thus, the exact start date can vary within the Muslim community. The CML follows the opinion of the Fiqh Council of North American and the Triangle Imams Council on calculating when Ramadan will begin and end. Therefore, this year, Ramadan will begin the evening of March 10th and the first day of fasting will be March 11th. The last day of fasting will be April 9th with Eid celebrations beginning on April 10th.

Since the exact start date of Ramadan can vary within the Muslim community, refrain from broad language like "Ramadan starts today" or "Muslims are observing Ramadan today." Instead, use inclusive, precise language like, "Many Muslims will begin fasting today" or The Center for Muslim Life will begin observing Ramadan on the evening of March 10th or "We wish the Muslim community a blessed Ramadan."

Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 nights. The end date of Ramadan can vary within the Muslim community (just like the start date). Again, the CML follows the opinion of the Fiqh Council of North American and the Triangle Imams Council on calculating when Ramadan will begin and end. Therefore, this year, the last day of the last day of fasting will be April 9th with Eid celebrations beginning on April 10th.

Eid Al-Fitr is a celebratory holiday that marks the end of Ramadan. Celebrations include a congregational prayer in the morning followed by festivities. Eid Al-Fitr is one of the most important holidays observed by the nearly 2 billion Muslims worldwide. To wish someone a blessed Eid, say "Eid Mubarak!" or "Happy Eid!"
