When is the next Ramadan?
The next one, Ramadan 2027, should begin on Monday 8 February 2027 and end with Eid al-Fitr on Wednesday 10 March 2027 — subject, as every year, to the sighting of the crescent.
Why does the date of Ramadan change every year?
Because the Islamic year follows the moon, not the sun. Twelve lunar cycles total about 354 days, eleven fewer than the civil year, so Ramadan drifts about ten days earlier each year, gradually moving through every season.
How do I get Suhoor and Iftar times for my city?
The Islamobile app calculates them for your location, with several calculation conventions (adjustable Fajr and Isha angles) and reminders — in France and abroad.
Why is Ramadan called the month of the Qur’an?
Because it was in the heart of this month that the revelation of the Qur’an began, on the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr). This is why the month is spent reconnecting with the Book: many aim to read it from cover to cover, and the long nightly Tarawih prayers recite lengthy passages from it. Islamobile puts the Qur’an — text and audio recitations from several reciters — in your pocket, and remembers where you left off. Download the app
How do I read the whole Qur’an during Ramadan?
The most common approach is to read one thirtieth of the Qur’an each day, known as a “juz”: over thirty days the full reading — the khatma — is completed by Eid. Spreading it out after each prayer helps keep the pace without rushing. With Islamobile you follow the text, listen on the go, and pick up your progress across devices. Install the app
What place does dhikr (remembrance of God) hold during Ramadan?
Ramadan is a month of drawing closer, and dhikr — the repeated remembrance of God — runs through it: words of glorification, seeking forgiveness (istighfar) and morning and evening supplications punctuate the fasting person’s day and carry reward between the prayers. A heart kept busy with remembrance moves more calmly through the fatigue and distractions of fasting. Islamobile gathers these authentic words and supplications (adhkar), sorted by time of day, to keep always within reach (a few examples). Install the app
What should I do during the last ten nights and the Night of Decree?
The last ten nights of Ramadan are the most intense: it is among them, most likely on an odd night, that the Night of Decree — “better than a thousand months” — lies hidden. They are devoted to prayer, Qur’an reading and supplication. Islamobile gathers a collection of supplications and remembrances (adhkar) to keep close at hand, along with precise prayer times so you never miss one. Download Islamobile
