<p>The Islamic calendar is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar. Over time, Ramadan shifts earlier in the Gregorian calendar each year. This means that every 32-33 years, Ramadan will begin twice within a single Gregorian year.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<ol>
<li>Suppose Ramadan starts on January 5 in one year.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>The following Ramadan will occur about 354 days later, which is mid-December of the same year.</li>
</ol>
<hr>
<p>Calculating "Two Ramadans in a Year" Between 1400 and 2025</p>
<ol>
<li>Determine the Interval:
Ramadan occurs twice in a year roughly every 33 Gregorian years.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Calculate the Total Years:</li>
</ol>
<p>Total years = 2025 - 1400 = 625 years</p>
<ol>
<li>Divide by Interval:</li>
</ol>
<p>Number of double Ramadan years = 625 ÷ 33 ≈ 18.9</p>
<hr>
<p>Final Answer:</p>
<p>From the year 1400 to 2025, Ramadan occurred twice in a single Gregorian year approximately 18 times.</p>
