Why 2030 will have two Ramadans: What to know and how to observe

In 2030, a rare 'double Ramadan' will occur, offering Muslims worldwide two periods of fasting within a single Gregorian year. The first Ramadan begins around January 6th, followed by another around December 26th, totaling approximately 36 days of fasting. This phenomenon results from the lunar-based Islamic calendar being shorter than the Gregorian calendar.
