"In His infinite mercy, Allah has sent the light of Ramadan to erase the night. He has sent the month of the Qur'an so that He might elevate us and bring us from our isolation to His nearness." -- Yasmine Mogahed

[Ramadan Mubarak to everybody observing the holiday month!]

Today is
Gregorian: 2021 April 13
Julian: 2021 March 31
Hebrew: 5781 Iyyar 01 -- day 16 of the counting of the Omer
Islamic: 1442 Ramadan 01 -- start of the holy month of daily fasting
Persian: 1400 Farvardin 24
Mayan: 0.0.0.13.0.8.7.15
Indian: 1943 Caitra 23
Coptic: 1737 Paramouda 05
Remember that Hebrew and Islamic calendars start at sundown, so some hours earlier than the Gregorian date changes. So Ramadan started last night, though since the fast is dawn to dusk, IIUC this morning is the start of fasting.
