Fasted FASTED

Ramadan timetable 2027

Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 — or Tuesday 9 February where the new crescent is seen a day later — and to end with Eid al-Fitr on Tuesday 9 March or the day after. In São Paulo the first fast runs from 04:30 to 18:51, 14h 21m, and the timetable below gives every day, worked out for your city with the method you choose.

The start and end of the month depend on the sighting of the moon and on your local religious authority, and every time here is a calculated estimate. Check your local mosque's timetable and follow it wherever the two differ. The first night prayers are on the evening before the first fast.

The five calculation methods

Sunset is the same for everybody, so iftar does not move between methods. What moves is Fajr: each method puts dawn at a different depth of the sun below the horizon. Names, angles and regions below are as PrayTimes.org publishes them.

Method Fajr angle Isha Region used Day 1 Fajr in São Paulo
Muslim World League 18° 17° Europe, Far East, parts of US 04:30
Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) 15° 15° North America (US and Canada) 04:44
Umm al-Qura University, Makkah 18.5° 90 minutes after Maghrib, 120 minutes during Ramadan Arabian Peninsula 04:27
Egyptian General Authority of Survey 19.5° 17.5° Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Malaysia 04:22
University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi 18° 18° Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India 04:30

In São Paulo on the first day the five methods put the end of suhoor 22 minutes apart, from 04:22 (Egyptian) to 04:44 (ISNA).

Several countries publish their own official angles, among them Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates. Where your mosque's timetable differs from every method here, it is following one of those, and it is the one to keep.

When Ramadan 1448 starts and ends

The Islamic month begins at sunset on the evening the new crescent is seen. In the Umm al-Qura calendar, the published Saudi civil calendar, 1 Ramadan 1448 is Monday 8 February 2027 and 1 Shawwal, Eid al-Fitr, is Tuesday 9 March 2027, which gives this Ramadan 29 days. That is why the first fast is expected on Monday 8 February 2027, with the first night prayers on the evening before.

Many communities wait for the crescent to be seen with the eye, and many countries follow their own announcement, so the first fast can fall a day later, on Tuesday 9 February 2027, and the last day can move the same way. Nobody can say before the evening of the 29th whether the month will run to 30 days, which is why the timetable shows a thirtieth row and marks it.

Use the first-day choice above to move the whole timetable by a day once your mosque announces the start.

Fasting and your health

Islamic teaching exempts people who are ill, travelling, pregnant, breastfeeding or menstruating from the fast, as well as children before puberty and the elderly. Diabetes UK, writing with the British Islamic Medical Association, lists the same exemptions and advises anyone with diabetes to fast only after talking to their diabetes team.

Talk to a doctor before Ramadan if any of these apply to you:

  • You have diabetes, especially if you take insulin or tablets that lower blood sugar. In the EPIDIAR study of people with diabetes in 13 countries, severe low blood sugar in type 1 diabetes rose from 0.03 episodes a month outside Ramadan to 0.14 during it.
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • You take medicine that has to be taken at set times, several times a day, or with food. Doses often need moving to suhoor and iftar, and that is a decision for your doctor or pharmacist. In a study of 481 people taking levothyroxine for an underactive thyroid, about a quarter of those whose levels were controlled before Ramadan were no longer controlled after it.
  • You have kidney disease, heart disease or another long-term condition, or you have had an eating disorder.

Stop the fast and eat or drink if you feel faint, confused or unwell, and seek help if it does not pass. Drinking enough between iftar and suhoor matters more on the longer fasts. An imam can explain the alternatives to fasting for anyone advised not to fast.

For the part after sunset, how to break a fast sets out what to eat first and how much, and the electrolyte calculator covers the salts that go with the water. Our guide to fasting with diabetes goes further into the blood-sugar risks above.

How the times are worked out

Every time on this page is computed here, from the sun, rather than copied from anybody's list. The sun's declination and the equation of time come from the U.S. Naval Observatory's approximate solar coordinates, accurate to about one arcminute within two centuries of 2000. From those, solar noon is worked out for your longitude, and each event is the moment before or after noon at which the sun reaches a given angle below the horizon. This is the PrayTimes.org method, and the page runs it exactly as published, one pass, for each of the thirty days.

Fajr, where suhoor ends, is the sun at the method's dawn angle: 15° for ISNA, 18° for the Muslim World League and Karachi, 18.5° for Umm al-Qura and 19.5° for the Egyptian General Authority of Survey. Maghrib, where the fast is broken, is sunset in all five: the sun's upper edge on the horizon, taken as 0.833° below it to allow for the sun's radius and the bending of light by the air. Times are worked out in universal time, placed on your city's clock by the time-zone database, and rounded to the nearest minute. The length of each fast is the difference of the two printed times, so a subtraction on the page gives the figure printed beside it.

Before publishing, the timetable was checked for five cities over the whole month — London, New York, Mecca, Karachi and Cairo, each on its own region's method — against the Aladhan prayer-times service, and matched to the minute on every day. Sunrise and sunset were checked separately against the U.S. Naval Observatory for London, New York and Mecca on three dates, and matched to the minute.

The dates are not calculated. The first row is 1 Ramadan 1448 in the Umm al-Qura calendar, Monday 8 February 2027, or the day after if you choose it, because the month begins when the crescent is sighted or when a national authority says it begins, and countries regularly differ by a day. The thirtieth row is shown because nobody knows before the evening of the 29th whether the month will run to 30 days; in the Umm al-Qura calendar this Ramadan has 29.

Each city starts on the method PrayTimes.org lists as used in its region. Several countries publish their own official angles, and mosques may add a precautionary minute or two, so treat these times as estimates and your local mosque's timetable as the one to follow.

Why a timetable you can carry

A Ramadan timetable is read at the two moments nobody wants to open a website: in the dark before dawn with the last of the suhoor on the table, and in the minutes before sunset with the dates ready. So the page hands it over in the forms that are already there at those moments, a sheet on the fridge and an event on the phone.

And it draws the month rather than only listing it. Thirty rows of figures hide the thing most people want to know first, which is how the fasts change from the first week to the last. In a northern city in February the shape widens as the days lengthen; in the south it narrows; near the equator it barely moves. The outline says that before a single number is read.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does Ramadan 2027 start?
Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027, which is 1 Ramadan in the Umm al-Qura calendar, so the first night prayers fall on the evening of Sunday 7 February. Where the new crescent is first seen a day later, or where a country follows its own sighting, the first fast is Tuesday 9 February. The month runs 29 or 30 days, and Eid al-Fitr is expected on Tuesday 9 or Wednesday 10 March 2027. The dates are settled by moon sighting and by your local religious authority, not by any calculation, so confirm them with your mosque.

What time does suhoor end?
Suhoor ends at Fajr, true dawn, which a timetable fixes as the moment the sun is a set angle below the horizon: 15° under the ISNA method, 18° under the Muslim World League and Karachi methods, 18.5° under Umm al-Qura and 19.5° under the Egyptian method. The bigger the angle, the earlier the time. Many printed timetables also show an Imsak about ten minutes before Fajr as a margin to stop eating.

What time is iftar?
Iftar is at Maghrib, which all five methods on this page set at sunset: the moment the upper edge of the sun meets the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends its light. The method you choose does not move it. Some mosques add a precautionary minute or three, which is one reason their timetable can differ slightly from a calculated one.

Why do Ramadan timetables disagree with each other?
Almost always because of the Fajr angle. Sunset is the same for everybody, but the five common methods put dawn at five different depths of the sun, and in London on the first day of Ramadan 2027 that spreads suhoor's end across 28 minutes, from 05:25 under the Egyptian method to 05:53 under ISNA. Rounding, a precautionary margin and a slightly different map position for the city account for the last minute or two.

How long are the fasts in Ramadan 2027?
In most places between eleven and fifteen hours. Ramadan 2027 falls in February and March, close to the spring equinox, so no city on this page sees the very long days of a summer Ramadan. North of the equator the fasts lengthen through the month: London runs from 11h 28m on the first day to 13h 13m on the 29th. South of it they shorten: Cape Town goes from 15h 12m to 14h 07m. Near the equator, as in Jakarta, they barely move.

Which calculation method should I use?
The one your local mosque uses, because the timetable your community keeps is the one that matters. Each city on this page starts on the method published as common in its region — Umm al-Qura on the Arabian Peninsula, ISNA in North America, Karachi in South Asia, the Egyptian method in Africa, the Muslim World League elsewhere — but several countries publish their own official angles, and where your mosque's timetable differs from this one, follow the mosque.

Can I put the Ramadan timetable in my phone calendar?
Yes. The calendar file on this page holds one event for each day, running from Fajr to Maghrib for the city and method you chose, and it opens in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook. You can add a reminder that fires ten minutes to an hour before suhoor ends. The events are marked as free time, so they do not show you as busy, and each one repeats that the times are estimates and the dates depend on the moon.

Who should talk to a doctor before fasting in Ramadan?
Anyone with diabetes, especially on insulin or tablets that lower blood sugar; anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding; anyone taking medicine that has to be taken at set times or with food; and anyone with kidney, heart or other long-term illness. Islamic teaching already exempts people who are ill, travelling, pregnant, breastfeeding or menstruating, and children and the elderly, and Diabetes UK advises people with diabetes to fast only after talking to their diabetes team. An imam can explain the alternatives to fasting for anyone advised not to.
