When does Ramadan 2027 start?
Monday 8 February 2027
1 Ramadan 1448 AH· in 117 days
Fasting ends with Eid al-Fitr, expected on Tuesday 9 March 2027 if the month lasts 29 days. Suhoor and Iftar times for your city.
Expected date on the Umm al-Qura calendar. Many communities confirm the month by sighting the new moon, so Ramadan can fall a day later where you live; your local mosque or national moon-sighting committee announces it.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and the month of fasting. From Fajr to Maghrib each day, Muslims who are able go without food and drink. The Quran says fasting was prescribed for believers as it was for those before them (2:183), and that Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed (2:185).
The month lasts 29 or 30 days. Communities start it on the sighting of the new crescent, or by calculation, and the day after it ends is Eid al-Fitr. The night prayer of Tarawih is held after Isha, starting on the night before the first fast.

Questions about Ramadan
When does the fast start and end each day?
The fast begins at Fajr, the start of dawn, and ends at Maghrib, just after sunset. Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, is eaten before Fajr; some timetables also show Imsak, a few minutes earlier, as a margin. Both times change every day and with your location, so use the timetable for your own city.
What if someone is ill or travelling during Ramadan?
The Quran allows a person who is ill or on a journey to leave the fast and make up the same number of days later (2:185). For other situations, such as long-term illness, ask a scholar or your local mosque.
