Fasting Ramadan
Fasting the month of Ramadan is the fourth pillar of Islam, obligatory on every adult Muslim who is able. Allah says: 'Whoever among you is ill or on a journey, then an equal number of other days' (Surah al-Baqarah 2:185). Keeping a simple record helps you stay consistent and know exactly how many days you still owe.
Making up missed fasts (Qadha)
A fast missed for a valid reason - illness, travel, menstruation, pregnancy or nursing - is made up later, one day for each day missed, before the next Ramadan if possible. Mark such a day as missed here, then increase your make-up count as you complete each one.
When fasting is not possible (Fidya)
Someone who cannot fast permanently, such as the chronically ill or the very elderly, does not make up the days but instead pays fidya - feeding a needy person for each missed day. If this applies to you, consult a scholar for your situation; this tracker is for counting fasts and make-ups, not a ruling.
What fasting builds
The Quran gives the purpose in one word: 'O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may attain taqwa' (Surah al-Baqarah 2:183) - God-consciousness. A month of saying no to permitted things trains the will that must say no to forbidden ones the rest of the year. It also builds honesty in a place no one else can check: only you and Allah know whether the fast was truly kept, which is why the Prophet related that Allah says fasting is His in a special way. And it builds empathy that no lecture can - hunger stops being a statistic once you have carried it until sunset. Tracking your days is a small discipline in service of these larger ones.
Using this tracker
The tracker lays out the thirty days of Ramadan for the current Hijri year as a simple grid. Tap any day to cycle it: unmarked, fasted, missed. The counters keep an honest running total - days fasted so far, and days to make up - and a separate qadha counter lets you tick off make-up fasts as you complete them after the month. Everything is stored only on this device, keyed to the Hijri year, so opening the tool next Ramadan starts you fresh while this year's record stays where it belongs: with you. No account, no cloud, nothing shared.
