Ramadan Countdown 2027

Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday, February 8, 2027, according to the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia. The exact start date is confirmed by the sighting of the crescent moon and may shift by one day depending on the official announcement in your country.

The live countdown at the top of this page shows the exact number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining until the expected start of Ramadan 2027 on February 8, 2027.

Islamic months begin with the sighting of the new crescent moon. The Umm al-Qura calendar pre-computes the months astronomically, but the binding announcement comes from the moon-sighting authorities in each country. The actual first fast can therefore differ by a day from the calendar date.

Eid al-Fitr 2027 is expected to fall on Tuesday, March 10, 2027, marking the end of Ramadan 1448 AH. Eid is celebrated on 1 Shawwal, subject to moon sighting.

Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days, depending on when the new crescent of Shawwal is sighted. Eid al-Fitr falls on 1 Shawwal, the day after the last fast.

The Umm al-Qura calendar is the official pre-computed calendar used by Saudi Arabia for administrative purposes. Religious observances such as the start of Ramadan are confirmed by official moon-sighting announcements.

The first fast runs from Fajr (dawn) to Maghrib (sunset) on the first day of Ramadan. The first Taraweeh prayer is performed the night before the first fast because the Islamic day begins at sunset.

The Hijri calendar is lunar. Twelve lunar months total about 354 or 355 days, around 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year. Ramadan therefore moves roughly 11 days earlier each Gregorian year and cycles through the seasons over about 33 years.

Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree) is sought during the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan. In 2027, these nights are expected around February 26, 28, March 2, 4, and 6, subject to the actual start date of Ramadan.

Zakat al-Fitr is a compulsory charity given before Eid al-Fitr prayers. The exact date in 2027 depends on when Ramadan ends and Eid is officially announced.

Yes. This countdown uses the expected Ramadan 2027 date based on the Umm al-Qura calendar. Your country’s official moon-sighting announcement may differ by one day.

The countdown measures the time remaining until the expected start of 1 Ramadan 1448 AH, using the Ramadan 2027 date listed for the Umm al-Qura calendar. Once Ramadan begins, the timer switches to the time remaining until Eid al-Fitr.

Ramadan 2027 will fall during winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

Taraweeh is commonly prayed as 8 or 20 rakats, in sets of two rakats, followed by Witr. Practices vary among Islamic schools of thought.

Important acts of worship during Ramadan include fasting, praying the five daily prayers, Taraweeh, reading and reflecting on the Quran, giving charity, making dua, seeking Laylat al-Qadr, and maintaining good character and patience.
