Our Ramadan information is carefully examined by a qualified Islamic reviewer to help ensure that religious details, references, and guidance are presented accurately and responsibly.
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on the evening of Sunday, February 7, 2027, with the first day of fasting on Monday, February 8, 2027. The fasting month is expected to continue until Monday, March 8, 2027, with Eid al-Fitr expected on Tuesday, March 9, 2027.
As Islamic dates depend on the sighting of the moon, the exact start and end dates may vary by one day. Some astronomical forecasts suggest that Eid al-Fitr could fall on Wednesday, March 10, 2027. The evening of Sunday, February 7 will mark the first night of Ramadan, while Monday, February 8 will be the first full day of fasting.
| Event | Expected Date |
|---|---|
| First Night of Ramadan | Evening of Sunday, February 7, 2027 |
| First Day of Fasting (1st Ramadan) | Monday, February 8, 2027 |
| Laylat al-Qadr (27th Ramadan) | Night of March 5–6, 2027 |
| Ramadan Ends (29th or 30th Ramadan) | Monday, March 8, 2027 |
| Eid al-Fitr | Tuesday, March 9, 2027 |
Significant to Note:
The dates mentioned here have been calculated using astronomy. The actual date may change by 1 or 2 days, depending upon where you are. Always check with your local masjid or Islamic authority for the correct date.
Why Ramadan 2027 Dates Shift
Hijri Calendar of Islam
The Islamic Hijri calendar is the lunar calendar that takes 354 days or approximately 11 days less than the solar Gregorian calendar. The movement of the Ramadan back by 10-11 days a year helps Muslims fast in different seasons of a 33-year cycle.
How the Moon Sighting Works
In 2027, astronomical calculations indicate that the crescent moon will be sought on the evening of Sunday, February 7. The geocentric conjunction (new moon) will occur on Saturday, February 6, 2027 at 15:56 UT.
If the moon is sighted:
- Muslims will perform the first Tarawih prayers that evening
- The first day of fasting will be Monday, February 8
- The month is expected to last either 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the Shawwal crescent moon.

The Three Ashras of Ramadan 2027
Ramadan is traditionally divided into three parts, each of ten days, known as Ashras:
| Ashra | Dates (2027) | Theme | Recommended Dua |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Ashra | Feb 8 – Feb 17 | Mercy (Rehmat) | "Rabbi ighfir wa-rḥam wa-anta khayru r-rahimin" |

| Third Ashra | Feb 28 – Mar 8 | Salvation (Nijat) | "Allāhumma ajirnī minan-nār" |
The Third Ashra (February 28 to March 8, 2027) is the most spiritually intense period, containing the last ten nights and Laylat al-Qadr.
