When is Ramadan 2027? The short answer
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on Monday, February 8, 2027 worldwide, and on Tuesday, February 9, 2027 in Pakistan. The Pakistani date depends on the moon sighting: the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee meets on the evening of Sunday, February 7, 2027 (Chand Raat, 29 Shaban) and announces whether the new crescent has been sighted. If it has, the first fast is February 9; if not, Ramadan begins a day later. Eid ul-Fitr in Pakistan is expected on Wednesday, March 10, 2027 (or Thursday, March 11, if Ramadan completes 30 days). If you want the live countdown instead of a date, open the Ramadan Countdown 2027 — it ticks down second by second and switches to the Eid countdown once Ramadan begins.
Why Pakistan is usually a day behind the Gulf
The Islamic month begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon, and countries do not all sight it on the same evening. Saudi Arabia follows the Umm al-Qura calendar, which predicts sighting in advance, so Gulf dates are usually known weeks ahead. Pakistan relies on physical sighting through the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, which gathers testimony from across the country on the 29th of each Islamic month and announces the result the same evening. When the moon is sighted in the Gulf but the sky over Pakistan does not yet show it, Pakistan starts a day later. That is the pattern in most recent years, and it is why every careful Pakistani source lists February 9 as the expected date while worldwide calendars list February 8. Neither is “wrong” — they follow different, equally legitimate sighting rules. The only date that settles the question for Pakistan is the Committee's announcement on February 7.
Ramadan 2027: all the key dates

| January 10, 2027 | Sunday | Shaban begins (expected) |
| January 24, 2027 | Sunday | Shab-e-Barat (15 Shaban) |
| February 7, 2027 | Sunday | Chand Raat — moon sighting evening |
| February 8, 2027 | Monday | First fast worldwide (expected) |
| February 9, 2027 | Tuesday | First Roza in Pakistan (expected) |
| February 26–27, 2027 | Friday–Saturday | Last ten nights begin |
| March 6, 2027 | Saturday | Shab-e-Qadr, 27th night (expected) |
| March 8–9, 2027 | Tuesday–Wednesday | Last fast (29 or 30 days) |
| March 10, 2027 | Wednesday | Eid ul-Fitr, Pakistan (expected) |
| March 11, 2027 | Thursday | Eid ul-Fitr if Ramadan is 30 days |
Public holidays for Eid ul-Fitr in Pakistan are expected from March 10 to 12, 2027. Ramadan 2028 is already expected to begin on Friday, January 28, 2028 — Ramadan moves about 10–11 days earlier each year because the Islamic calendar is lunar (about 354 days) while the solar calendar is about 365 days.
Ramzan kab hai 2027? (Roman Urdu summary)
Pakistan mein pehla Roza 9 February 2027 (Tuesday) ko expected hai. Duniya bhar mein pehla Roza 8 February 2027 ko expected hai. Chand Raat 7 February 2027 ki shaam hai, jab Ruet-e-Hilal Committee chand dekhne ka elaan karegi. Eid ul-Fitr Pakistan mein 10 March 2027 ko expected hai (agar Roze 30 hue to 11 March).

The three Ashras
Ramadan is traditionally divided into three Ashras of ten days each. The first Ashra (days 1–10) is the Ashra of Rahmah (mercy), the second (days 11–20) is the Ashra of Maghfirah (forgiveness), and the third (days 21–30) is the Ashra of Najah (salvation from the Fire). Each Ashra has its own well-known dua, and the third Ashra holds the last ten nights, in which Shab-e-Qadr is sought. Shab-e-Qadr — the Night of Decree, described as better than a thousand months — is most commonly observed on the 27th night, which falls on Saturday, March 6, 2027 (expected), but many people observe all the odd nights of the last ten nights rather than fixing on one.
How long are the 2027 fasts?
Short, by Pakistani standards. Because Ramadan 2027 falls in February and March, the days are still winter-short. In Lahore the fast runs about 12 hours 15 minutes on the first day and grows to about 13 hours 6 minutes by the last day. Karachi's fasts are a little longer, starting near 12 hours 50 minutes. Gujranwala tracks Lahore closely, about 12 hours 14 minutes rising to 13 hours 6 minutes. Compare that with a summer Ramadan, where fasts stretch past 15 hours, and it is easy to see why the 2027 dates are so widely searched: a short-fast Ramadan is a gentler one, especially for first-time fasters, older people and anyone working outdoors.
Sehri and Iftar: use your city's timetable
Sehri and Iftar times differ by city — even neighbouring cities differ by minutes — and they depend on the calculation method your local mosque follows. Any page that prints one national timetable is giving most of its readers wrong times, and wrong religious times are a serious accuracy problem. So this guide does not print a timetable: for your city's exact Sehri and Iftar times, follow your local mosque's timetable or your city's official Ramadan calendar. The countdown tool on this site follows the same rule — it counts to the date, not to a timetable it cannot verify for your city.
How to prepare: a short checklist
- Confirm the date on February 7. Watch for the Ruet-e-Hilal announcement on Chand Raat evening rather than trusting a calendar printed months earlier.
- Get your city's timetable early. Mosques and local calendars usually publish them a week or two before Ramadan.
- Plan the first week gently. The first few fasts are the adjustment period — lighter evenings, earlier nights and a steady Sehri help more than a heavy first Iftar.
- Note the last ten nights. If you plan Itikaf or extra night prayers, the last ten nights begin around February 26–27.
- Keep Eid flexible. Until the 29th-night moon sighting, treat March 10 as expected and March 11 as possible, especially for travel bookings.
