Ramadan 2027 at a glance
A winter Ramadan in the north. Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin in early February, so the fasts in the UK are short, around twelve to thirteen hours, and iftar comes before six in the evening for most of the month.
One way to give in Ramadan is to fund an iftar in Gaza. See the top 10 Muslim charities in the UK by DonateOpenly’s score.
Preparing for Ramadan 2027
Start in Sha‘ban. Many people ease into the fast by fasting some days of the month before, planning meals and sleep around sehri, and setting a reading goal for the month.
The dua for fasting, with its source, is on Muslims Around the World.
