Ramadan Calendar 2027

This ramadan calendar lists every roza of the month for India: the roza number, the Hijri date, the matching English date, and the day of the week. If you searched ramadan kab hai, the start date at the top of this page is your answer, calculated for Indian moon sighting.

One thing the table can't promise is certainty. Ramadan begins when the hilal (crescent moon) is sighted on the evening of 29 Shaban. If the moon isn't seen that night, Shaban completes 30 days and Ramadan starts a day later. So treat the dates here as the expected schedule, and the local ruyat-e-hilal committee's announcement as the final word.

India generally sights the moon a day after Saudi Arabia, which is why a ramzan calendar printed for Makkah or Dubai won't match your city. Every date in this ramadan time table is worked out for Indian sighting, so you don't need to adjust anything.

Bookmark this page once and you're set for the whole month. And if Ramadan hasn't started yet, the Ramadan countdown shows you exactly how many days are left.

A roza runs from Fajr to Maghrib. Sehri (suhoor) must finish before Fajr time begins, and iftar happens the moment Maghrib enters, at sunset. Those two prayer times are the fast; nothing else defines it.

Sehri time and iftar time change with your location, and in a country as wide as India the gap is real. Kolkata breaks its fast roughly an hour before Mumbai on the same evening. That's why a Delhi timetable is useless in Chennai. Check the city-wise namaz time table for accurate Sehri and Iftar timings where you live.

Not everyone is required to fast. Travellers, people who are ill, the elderly who can't bear it, and pregnant or nursing women have concessions in Islamic law. Some make up the missed fasts later (qaza), and those permanently unable to fast give fidya instead.

The details differ case by case, so if any of these situations applies to you, ask a qualified scholar or your local imam rather than deciding from a website. This page can give you the dates; it can't give you a fatwa.

Laylat al-Qadr (Shab-e-Qadr) falls in the last ten nights of Ramadan, and the odd nights carry the strongest emphasis: the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 29th. The Quran says this night is better than a thousand months (Surah Al-Qadr, 97:3). One night of worship, outweighing more than 83 years.

The Prophet ﷺ‎ would search for it in the last ten nights and spend them in i'tikaf, secluded in the masjid for worship. Many masjids across India keep the practice alive, with men sitting i'tikaf for the final ten days and women observing it at home.

In India the 27th night is the one most widely observed as Shab-e-Qadr, with masjids full and homes lit for worship till Fajr. But no hadith fixes it to the 27th. The exact night was deliberately left unknown, which is why the Sunnah is to seek it across all the odd nights, not to bet everything on one.

The key-night dates for this year are marked in the calendar above. You can also track the Shab-e-Qadr countdown so the last ashra doesn't catch you unprepared.

In India and Pakistan, Ramadan is commonly taught as three ashras (ten-day parts): the first ashra of rehmat (mercy), the second of maghfirat (forgiveness), and the third of nijat, freedom from the fire of Jahannam. Each ashra has its own well-known dua that many households recite daily.

Worth knowing: this division comes from a narration that many hadith scholars grade as weak, so mercy, forgiveness, and protection from the fire aren't restricted to their ten-day slots. The whole month carries all of them.

Still, the ashra framework is useful in practice. It breaks 29 or 30 days into stages and pushes you to raise your effort as the month goes on, especially in the last ashra, when the Prophet ﷺ‎ increased his worship more than at any other time of year.

Ramadan ends the way it begins, with the moon. On the evening of the 29th roza, hilal committees across India look for the Shawwal crescent. If it's sighted, that night is chand raat and Eid al-Fitr is the next morning. If not, you fast a 30th roza and Eid follows the day after.

Chand raat needs no introduction in India: markets open past midnight, mehndi stalls on every corner, last-minute Eid shopping in full swing. The moment the announcement comes, the month of fasting is over and Shawwal has begun.

Before you head for the Eid prayer, one duty remains: Zakat al-Fitr (fitra). It's a small obligatory charity, usually the value of a staple food item per family member, and it must reach the poor before the Eid namaz. Paying it earlier in Ramadan is fine; paying it after the prayer defeats its purpose, which is making sure the poor can also celebrate Eid.
