Ramadan Start 2024 in Iraq

Ramadan (also known as Ramadhan or Ramzan) is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. It is a time when Muslims around the world focus on prayer, fasting, giving to charity, and religious devotion. The last third of Ramadan is a particularly holy period, as it commemorates when the Koran's (Qu'ran) first verses were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (Mohammad or Muhammed).

Is Ramadan Start a Public Holiday?

Although Ramadan Start is not a public holiday, businesses and schools may be closed because it falls on the same date as Anniversary of Signing of the March 11, 1970 Agreement in 2024.

The month of Ramadan begins when the Waxing Crescent Moon can be observed in the evening sky.
