Because Islamic days begin at sunset, the first night of communal prayers (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taraweeh<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) will take place on February 18, with the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first tentative day of fasting<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> commencing at dawn on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thursday, February 19, 2026<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, this date is not fixed in stone. Like every year, the official start depends on the sighting of the new crescent moon, which can vary slightly by location and Islamic authority.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_the_Ramadan_2026_start_date_differ_in_USA\"><\/span><b>Why does the Ramadan 2026 start date differ in USA?\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Islamic months follow the lunar calendar, not the Gregorian calendar used in the US. This means Ramadan begins when the new moon is sighted. Some Muslim communities in the United States follow local moon sightings, while others rely on global announcements from countries such as Saudi Arabia or regional Islamic councils. Because of this, mosques in cities like New York, Chicago, and Houston may occasionally announce Ramadan one day apart.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_the_first_day_of_Ramadan_in_USA_determined\"><\/span><b>How is the first day of Ramadan in USA determined?\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the US, the start is traditionally determined by two primary methods. Many communities follow the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiqh Council of North America <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(FCNA), which uses <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pre-calculated astronomical data<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">determine the birth of the new moon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Others adhere to the traditional <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Sighting (Saudi Arabia) <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local Sighting<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> methodology, which requires a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">physical confirmation of the waxing crescent moon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Hilal). This can occasionally lead to a one-day difference in start dates between various mosques and regions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_significance_of_Ramadan\"><\/span><b>What is the significance of Ramadan?\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ramadan holds deep spiritual significance for Muslims as it commemorates the period when the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is a month of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fasting<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">self-discipline<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prayer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">charity<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Observing the fast from dawn to sunset <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">encourages empathy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the less fortunate and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">strengthens faith<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Beyond abstaining from food and drink, Ramadan emphasizes <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inner reflection<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gratitude<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increased devotion<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acts of kindness<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">worship<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, Ramadan is not merely about the absence of food; it is a structured timeline of spiritual milestones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The First Ten Days (Mercy): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the fast begins on February 19, the focus is on &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rahmah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; (Mercy), where Muslim believers adjust their internal clocks and focus on patience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Middle Ten Days (Forgiveness):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This period focuses on &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maghfirah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; (Forgiveness), often marked by increased nightly attendance at local mosques.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Final Ten Days (Includes Laylat al-Qadr): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most intense spiritual period will begin around March 10, 2026, if Ramadan begins on February 19. It also includes Laylat al-Qadr, or the Night of Power, which is traditionally believed to occur on one of the odd nights in the last ten days of Ramadan, such as the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night. Many mosques in USA hold &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qiyam-ul-Layl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8221; (late-night prayers) that last until the early hours of the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian Eagle Travel wishes everyone observing Ramadan a peaceful and blessed month.
