Ramadan 2027 Key Dates

Event	Expected date	Status
Rajab begins	10 December 2026	Expected, subject to moon sighting
Sha’ban begins	9 January 2027	Expected, subject to moon sighting
First Taraweeh	Evening of Sunday, 7 February 2027	Expected, subject to moon sighting
First day of Ramadan	Monday, 8 February 2027	Expected, subject to moon sighting
Last ten nights begin	Around the evening of 26 February 2027	Expected, subject to moon sighting
Laylat-ul-Qadr	Odd nights of the last ten nights	Sought, not fixed to one night
Eid al-Fitr	Tuesday, 9 March 2027 or Wednesday, 10 March 2027	Expected, subject to moon sighting

The Umm al-Qura expectation is a 29-day Ramadan, giving Eid al-Fitr on 9 March 2027. Where a 30-day month is sighted, as expected in Pakistan, Eid al-Fitr would fall on 10 March 2027. That one-day difference is normal, and it is why every lunar date here is described as expected rather than certain.

How to Prepare for Ramadan 2027

Preparation does not need to start in Ramadan itself. The months before it give a gentle runway, and small habits built early are easier to keep when the month arrives.

• Build a dua habit in Rajab and Sha’ban. Set aside a short, regular moment each day for personal supplication, and keep a small list of the duas that matter most to you.
• Practise fasting gradually. A few voluntary fasts in the weeks before Ramadan can help your body and routine adjust, at a pace that suits you.
• Set a realistic Qur’an routine. Choose a short daily portion you can read with understanding, rather than a large target you may struggle to keep.
• Prepare your sleep and health gently. Moving bedtime and meals a little earlier over time may make the change to fasting days feel less sudden. Listen to your body, and seek professional advice if you have a health condition.
• Plan your charity in advance. Decide what you would like to give, and to whom, so that giving in Ramadan is thoughtful rather than rushed.

Duas for Reaching Ramadan

One short dua often recited as Ramadan approaches is:

Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَانَ

Transliteration: Allahumma ballighna Ramadan

Translation: O Allah, allow us to reach Ramadan.

Another well-known dua for Rajab and Sha’ban is:

Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رَجَبَ وَشَعْبَانَ وَبَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَانَ

Transliteration: Allahumma barik lana fi Rajaba wa Sha’ban wa ballighna Ramadan

Translation: O Allah, bless us in Rajab and Sha’ban, and allow us to reach Ramadan.

A careful note: the chain of narration for this second dua is discussed by scholars, so it is best shared as a general supplication rather than presented as a firmly established narration. You can read more in our Dua for Getting to Ramadan post.
