- An Islamic day begins at sunset, so the 27th night, when many seek Laylat al-Qadr, starts on the evening before 27 Ramadan.
- Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar. Where the start of the month depends on sighting the moon, as in Pakistan and India, the actual date is often a day later. Confirm with your country's moon-sighting committee.
How the dates are found
