Ramadan Calendar & Prayer Times

The countdown at the top of this page shows the time left for your selected city. Based on astronomical calculation, the first fast is expected on 8 February 2027 in Saudi Arabia, and possibly on 9 February 2027 in places that sight the moon a day later.

Sehri is the pre-dawn meal. It should be finished before Fajr, when the fast begins. Iftar is the meal that breaks the fast at Maghrib, after sunset. In the timetable, the “Sehri ends” and “Iftar (Maghrib)” columns are highlighted for each day. If you prefer a buffer, the Sehri safety margin ends Sehri 5, 10 or 15 minutes before Fajr.

The times are calculated for the coordinates currently selected, using your timezone (including daylight saving) and the method you choose. A city search uses that city’s representative coordinates (often the city centre), which may differ slightly from your exact spot; GPS and manually entered coordinates are more precise. The tool rounds on the cautious side: Fajr, Sehri and sunrise are rounded down, while the start of the other prayers and Iftar are rounded up. The start date of Ramadan itself depends on moon sighting, which can differ by a day between countries, and mosques may round slightly differently. For the final word, confirm with your local mosque.

The length of each Islamic month depends on when the new moon is visible. If the crescent is not seen on the evening of the 29th day, the month is completed as 30 days. The tool takes the month length (29 or 30 days) from your browser’s built-in Umm al-Qura Islamic calendar — it does not observe the moon itself. Your local authority may announce 29 or 30 days differently, so use the Moon sighting adjustment or the Ramadan length option to match.

Follow the official announcement from your country’s moon-sighting committee or your local mosque, and then match the timetable to it using the Moon sighting adjustment. Until the announcement, the calendar gives you a reliable estimate, and you can see both dates side by side by changing the setting.

The University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method (18° for Fajr and Isha) with the Hanafi Asr setting is commonly used in Pakistan, and the tool selects it automatically for Pakistani cities. If your mosque follows a different method or Asr setting, change it in the calculation settings.

Search your new city. The timetable is then recalculated for that city’s latitude, longitude and timezone, so Sehri and Iftar follow your new local sunrise and sunset. Rules on travel, such as when a traveller may shorten or break the fast, are a matter for scholarly ruling. Ask a qualified scholar about your specific situation.

It is the final third of the night, counted from sunset to Fajr. It is a recommended time for Tahajjud and dua. In the hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that our Lord comes down to the nearest heaven in the last third of the night and says: whoever calls upon Me, I will answer; whoever asks Me, I will give; whoever seeks My forgiveness, I will forgive (Sahih al-Bukhari 1145). The tool shows this time for your city under Today’s times. For more, read our guide to praying Tahajjud.

The main differences are in Maghrib and Isha. In this tool’s Ja’fari (Shia) setting, Maghrib is when the sun is 4° below the horizon, which is usually around 15 minutes after sunset in Karachi in February (the gap changes with the season and latitude). Isha uses a 14° angle, so these two times are later than in the common Sunni methods. Fasting still begins at Fajr, and for Shia Muslims it is broken at the later Maghrib. Follow your own marja’ or mosque for the final ruling.

This division comes from a narration in Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah (1887). Scholars graded that narration weak. Abu Hatim al-Razi judged it munkar, and Al-Albani graded it weak in Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Da’ifah (871). So it is not relied upon as an established hadith. Mercy and forgiveness are sought throughout the whole month. The last ten nights are strongly recommended for seeking Laylat al-Qadr. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan (Sahih al-Bukhari 2017).

Near the poles the sun can stay above or below the horizon for part of the year, so some prayer times do not exist on certain days. In most summer nights this tool estimates Fajr and Isha from the sunrise and sunset times (the angle-based method). If a time cannot be worked out at all, the timetable shows a dash. In that case, use the timetable for the nearest city where times exist, and ask your local mosque which rule they follow. We have not verified these high-latitude estimates against local mosque timetables.

The prayer times are worked out in your browser using standard astronomical formulas for the sun’s position (the same angle-based approach used by widely known prayer-time calculators), with the Fajr and Isha angles of the method you pick. We have tested the output for many cities and dates against an independent astronomy library and the results agree to within about two minutes at normal latitudes (tested against an independent astronomy library, not against official mosque timetables; near the poles some times cannot be calculated and show as “-”). Even with exact coordinates, your mosque may round differently or follow a slightly different method, so treat these as a careful guide and confirm locally.

Your location is only shared with an outside service when you choose to share it: searching a city sends the text to Open-Meteo’s geocoder, “Use my location” sends your GPS coordinates to BigDataCloud to name the place (and, if GPS is not supported by your browser, uses GeoJS to estimate a nearby city from your internet connection — if you allow GPS but then deny the permission, no IP lookup is done). If you type coordinates manually, nothing about your location leaves your device. The page does not contact any location service until you take one of these actions.
