How many days until Start of Ramadan?

The story behind Start of Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, the month in which Muslims believe the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Fasting during it, from dawn to sunset, is one of the five pillars of Islam: no food or drink in daylight, and more prayer, reading of the Quran and charity.

Each day the fast is broken at sunset with the iftar, often with dates and water, then a shared meal; a pre-dawn meal, suhur, comes before the next day's fast. The month lasts 29 or 30 days and ends with Eid al-Fitr. Because the calendar is lunar, Ramadan arrives about eleven days earlier every year.
