By tabular calculation, Ramadan 2027 begins on Monday, February 8, 2027, and runs 30 days, ending on Tuesday, March 9, with Eid al-Fitr falling the next day, Wednesday, March 10. For the full day-by-day breakdown, see our Ramadan Calendar 2027 page.
How this date is worked out
Like every Hijri date on this site, Ramadan's start is calculated using the tabular Islamic calendar — a fixed arithmetic method rather than an actual moon sighting. That makes it possible to publish a Ramadan calendar for a future year like 2027 well in advance. Many local mosques and national authorities instead wait for the crescent moon to be sighted before confirming the date, which is why the officially announced start of Ramadan can land a day earlier or later than the tabular date shown here.
What Sehri and Iftar actually are
Sehri is the meal eaten before dawn, and the fast begins at Fajr, the pre-dawn prayer time. Iftar is the meal that breaks the fast each evening, eaten at Maghrib, just after sunset. Both Fajr and Maghrib shift gradually across the month and depend entirely on your location — a few minutes earlier or later depending on latitude, and noticeably different between, say, Karachi and London.
Why we don't list fixed clock times here
A printed "Sehri and Iftar timetable" only works for one specific city, and quickly becomes misleading if shared or reused somewhere else. Instead, the Prayer Times section on our homepage calculates Fajr and Maghrib live, based on your device's current location, so the times you see are actually correct for where you are — throughout Ramadan and beyond.
Laylat al-Qadr
Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, is traditionally sought on one of the odd-numbered nights in the last ten days of Ramadan — most commonly associated with the 27th night, which in 2027 falls around March 6. The exact night isn't fixed by any calculation, tabular or otherwise, which is part of why it's traditionally observed across several nights rather than pinpointed to just one.
