🔥 Trending Ramadan 2027: Expected Start Dates Announced

Ramadan in 2027 is anticipated to begin in mid-January or early February, depending on the sighting of the new moon. The Islamic calendar (Hijri calendar) is lunar, meaning its months are determined by the cycles of the moon, which can lead to slight variations in dates based on geographical location and astronomical calculations ².

Expected Start Dates for Ramadan 2027

Multiple sources provide slightly different estimated start dates for Ramadan 2027 (1448 AH):

• Mid-January Estimate: Some predictions suggest Ramadan 2027 could begin on the evening of Friday, January 15, 2027, with the first full day of fasting on Saturday, January 16, 2027 ².
• Early February Estimate: Other sources indicate that Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin at local sunset on Sunday, February 7, 2027, with the first full fasting day on Monday, February 8, 2027 ¹. Muhammadiyah's published KHGT calendar lists February 8 as 1 Ramadan 1448 ¹.
• Moon Sighting Factor: It's important to remember that the exact start date is traditionally confirmed by the visual sighting of the crescent moon (hilal) ³. This means that the actual start and end dates could shift by one day ³.

Duration and Eid al-Fitr

Ramadan typically lasts for 29 or 30 days. Based on astronomical calculations, the month of Ramadan 1448 is expected to be 29 days long, concluding on Monday, March 8, 2027 ⁴. This would mean that the first day of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, would be Tuesday, March 9, 2027 ³⁴.
