Guide
Ramadan 2027, what to know.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and the month of fasting. Each Islamic month begins with the new crescent moon, so Ramadan moves about 11 days earlier every year. In 2027 it falls in February and March, which means short, cool fasting days across North America, Europe and the Gulf.
Why the start date can differ
Saudi Arabia's Umm al-Qura calendar and the Fiqh Council of North America calculate the month in advance. Many communities, especially those following the Hanafi practice common in South Asia, wait to sight the crescent with the eye. If it is not seen on the evening of the 29th of Shaban, Shaban is completed as 30 days and Ramadan begins a day later. That is why this calendar has a switch for 8 or 9 February.
When sehri ends and iftar begins
The fast begins at true dawn, the start of Fajr, and ends at sunset, the start of Maghrib. Allah says: "Eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread of night. Then complete the fast until the night."1 So the "Sehri ends" column is the latest moment to finish eating, and the "Iftar" column is when you break the fast.
Many printed timetables stop sehri about 10 minutes before Fajr as a safety margin, often called imsak. It is a precaution, not a separate time in the Sharia. Use the "5 min before" or "10 min before" switch if your masjid's timetable does this.
The intention for the fast
Hanafi position
The intention for a Ramadan fast is made in the heart and does not have to be said aloud. It is valid from sunset the night before until just before the midpoint of the day (al-dahwa al-kubra), as long as you have not eaten. Waking for sehri with the fast in mind already counts as the intention.2
Other madhhabs
- Shafi'i
- The intention for each obligatory fast must be made during the night before dawn.
- Maliki
- One intention at the start of Ramadan covers the whole month, as long as the fasting is not broken by a gap.
- Hanbali
- The intention must be made during the night, before dawn, for each day of Ramadan.
Laylat al-Qadr and the last ten nights
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Seek Laylat al-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan."3 With a start on 8 February, the odd nights begin at sunset on 27 February (21st), 1 March (23rd), 3 March (25th), 5 March (27th) and 7 March (29th). See the Laylat al-Qadr page for the nights in your time zone.
Duas for sehri and iftar
At iftar the Prophet ﷺ would say: Dhahaba al-ẓamaʾu wabtallat al-ʿurūqu wa thabata al-ajru in shāʾ Allāh, "The thirst is gone, the veins are moist, and the reward is certain, if Allah wills."4 The dua for breaking the fast page has the Arabic and its source.
- Quran 2:187, translation by Sahih International.
- Al-Marghinani, al-Hidayah, Kitab al-Sawm. The other madhhabs' positions are summarised from their standard manuals.
- Sahih al-Bukhari 2017.
- Sunan Abi Dawud 2357, graded hasan.

Good to know.
When does Ramadan 2027 start?
Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 by the Umm al-Qura calendar, with the first taraweeh on the night of Sunday 7 February. Where the start depends on sighting the new moon, it may begin on Tuesday 9 February.
When does Ramadan 2027 end?
The last fast is expected on Monday 8 March 2027 if the month has 29 days, or Tuesday 9 March if it has 30. Eid al-Fitr follows on 9 or 10 March.
How many days until Ramadan 2027?
The countdown at the top of this page counts the days to the first fast on 8 February 2027, live in your time zone.
Why does my masjid's timetable differ by a few minutes?
Masjids may use a different calculation method or add a few minutes before Fajr and after sunset for caution. Follow your masjid for congregation, and use this calendar as a guide.
Is Ramadan in winter in 2027?
Yes, for the northern hemisphere. Ramadan moves about 11 days earlier each year, so in 2027 it falls in February and March, with some of the shortest fasts in decades for North America and Europe.
