Ramadan 2027

Fasting is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027. This astronomically calculated date is only settled once the crescent is sighted the evening before, so it may shift by a day.

The month lasts 29 or 30 days, again depending on the moon. The last day of fasting is expected on Tuesday 9 March 2027, and Eid al-Fitr on Wednesday 10 March 2027.

The year 1448 AH: the Islamic calendar counts its years from the Prophet’s migration from Mecca to Medina.

Because the Islamic year follows the moon, not the sun. Twelve lunar cycles total about 354 days, eleven fewer than the civil year, so Ramadan drifts about ten days earlier each year, gradually moving through every season.

The Islamobile app calculates them for your location, with several calculation conventions (adjustable Fajr and Isha angles) and reminders — in France and abroad.

Because it was in the heart of this month that the revelation of the Qur’an began, on the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr). This is why the month is spent reconnecting with the Book: many aim to read it from cover to cover, and the long nightly Tarawih prayers recite lengthy passages from it. Islamobile puts the Qur’an — text and audio recitations from several reciters — in your pocket, and remembers where you left off.

The most common approach is to read one thirtieth of the Qur’an each day, known as a “juz”: over thirty days the full reading — the khatma — is completed by Eid. Spreading it out after each prayer helps keep the pace without rushing. With Islamobile you follow the text, listen on the go, and pick up your progress across devices.

Ramadan is a month of drawing closer, and dhikr — the repeated remembrance of God — runs through it: words of glorification, seeking forgiveness (istighfar) and morning and evening supplications punctuate the fasting person’s day and carry reward between the prayers. A heart kept busy with remembrance moves more calmly through the fatigue and distractions of fasting. Islamobile gathers these authentic words and supplications (adhkar), sorted by time of day, to keep always within reach (a few examples).

The last ten nights of Ramadan are the most intense: it is among them, most likely on an odd night, that the Night of Decree — “better than a thousand months” — lies hidden. They are devoted to prayer, Qur’an reading and supplication. Islamobile gathers a collection of supplications and remembrances (adhkar) to keep close at hand, along with precise prayer times so you never miss one.
