Twice the Celebration: Ramadan in 2030 in the Orient
In the year 2030, Muslims around the world will have the unique experience of observing the holy month of Ramadan twice due to a rare alignment of the solar (Gregorian) and lunar (Islamic) calendars.
The first Ramadan will begin on January 5th, 2030, and the second will start on December 26th of the same year. This means that Muslims will fast for a total of 36 days throughout the year. Such occurrences are infrequent and happen roughly every 30 years, with the last instance of two Ramadans in a single year being in 1997. According to astronomical calculations, the next double Ramadan year will be in 2063.
It is interesting to note that both months of Ramadan in 2030 will take place during the winter season, providing a different experience for those fasting compared to the usual summer months.
This rare phenomenon serves as a reminder of the diversity and complexity of the Islamic calendar, connecting Muslims across the globe through their shared religious traditions and practices.
