Ramadan 2027: dates, sehri and iftar

These dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar, the calculated Hijri calendar of Saudi Arabia. An Islamic day begins at sunset, so every night listed here starts on the evening before the day it belongs to.

The full list of the year's Islamic dates, including Isra and Mi’raj, mid-Sha’ban and Eid al-Adha, is on the Hijri date page.

A calculated calendar knows in advance when the new moon is born. The month itself begins when the crescent is seen, and whether it can be seen depends on the sky where you are. Most countries announce Ramadan and Eid after a sighting committee meets on the evening of 29 Sha’ban or 29 Ramadan.

• Sighting countries can start a day, occasionally two, after the calculated date.
• The length of the month follows the same rule: Umm al-Qura gives Ramadan 1448 twenty-nine days, and a sighting can make it thirty.
• In Pakistan, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee announces it. On the evening of 7 February 2027 the new moon is less than a day old, too young to be seen by eye, so the first fast there is most likely Tuesday 9 February, and Eid al-Fitr most likely Wednesday 10 March.
• Follow your masjid or national committee for the final decision. The dates on this page are what to plan around, not the announcement.

Each city's prayer-times page has the full Ramadan 2027 timetable: the time sehri ends and iftar begins on every date from 8 February to 10 March, so it holds whichever day your fast starts.

Sehri ends when Fajr begins, at true dawn. Iftar is at Maghrib, which begins at sunset. Maghrib is the same in almost every calculation method; Fajr is not, because methods set dawn at different sun angles, so two timetables can disagree by several minutes at sehri. Many printed timetables also add an imsak time about ten minutes before Fajr as a margin.

Calculated times for the first and last day of Ramadan 2027, using each country's usual method:

That makes the first fast about 12½ hours long in these cities and the last about 13, as the days lengthen into March. Your masjid's Ramadan timetable may differ by a few minutes; when the two disagree, follow the masjid you pray with.

Each city's prayer times page shows the coming seven days, so in the week before Ramadan it shows the first days of fasting.

• Learn the duas for fasting. The dua for breaking the fast and the other supplications of the month are in the fasting duas, in Arabic with transliteration, translation and source.
• Plan your recitation. Thirty juz over twenty-nine or thirty days is a little over one juz a day. The Quran on this site has all 114 surahs with translation.
• Settle your calculation method before the first sehri. The calculation guide explains why apps disagree at Fajr and how to match your masjid.
