Sehri and Iftar Timetable 2027

Sehri ends at Fajr and Iftar begins at Maghrib, and both times shift by a minute or two every single day of Ramadan. A calendar that shows only the start date of Ramadan 2027 can't tell you when to stop eating this morning or when to break your fast tonight, which is what this page is for.

Use the timetable tool above to check today's Sehri and Iftar time for your city, or scroll down for the full Ramadan 2027 schedule, all 29 or 30 days at once. For the expected start date of Ramadan 2027 and how it's calculated, see our Ramadan Calendar 2027.

How These Times Are Worked Out

Fajr and Maghrib aren't fixed clock times. They're tied to the position of the sun, so they change daily as the length of daylight changes through the year, and they're never the same in two different cities.

Maghrib is the more straightforward of the two. It's simply local sunset, so Iftar time is easy to verify against any sunset calculator for your city.

Fajr is more involved. It marks the start of true dawn, defined as the point when the sun reaches a specific angle below the horizon, roughly 15 to 20 degrees depending on which calculation method is used. Because this angle can't be observed directly the way a sunset can, different Islamic authorities have settled on slightly different angles, which is why two prayer time apps can show Fajr times a few minutes apart for the same city.

Choosing a Calculation Method

The timetable above lets you switch between the calculation methods most commonly followed around the world:

• University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi: widely used across Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and much of South Asia.
• Islamic Society of North America (ISNA): common in the United States and Canada.
• Muslim World League: used broadly across Europe, parts of Asia, and by many international Islamic organisations.
• Umm al-Qura, Makkah: Saudi Arabia's official method, also followed in much of the Gulf.
• Egyptian General Authority of Survey: used in Egypt and parts of Africa.

If you're not sure which one applies to you, the safest approach is to match whatever your local mosque publishes. Most communities in a given city or country tend to converge on the same method, so checking with your mosque once will usually settle the question for the whole month.

A Note for Cities Far From the Equator

Cities at high latitudes, such as London, Toronto, or Stockholm, can run into a genuine calculation problem during parts of the year: in the depths of winter or height of summer, the sun's angle at dawn or dusk may never reach the threshold that standard Fajr and Isha calculations depend on. Several Islamic bodies, including ISNA and the Muslim World League, publish separate adjustment rules (commonly called the "one-seventh of the night" or "angle-based" methods) for these locations. If you're in a city at unusually high latitude and the calculated Fajr time looks too early or too late compared to what your local mosque uses, this is very likely why, and it's worth checking with your mosque directly rather than relying on a general calculator.

Sehri Tips

Eating close to Fajr, rather than hours before it, tends to make the fasting hours more comfortable. A meal with protein and slower-digesting carbohydrates holds up better through the day than one built mostly around sugar or refined carbs. Spreading water intake through the hours before dawn, instead of drinking a large amount right before Fajr, also tends to help more with hydration over a long fasting day.

Iftar Tips

Breaking the fast with dates and water first, before the main meal, follows the traditional Sunnah practice and gives the stomach a gentler transition after a full day without food. Eating the main meal slowly after Maghrib prayer, rather than immediately and quickly, generally sits better than rushing straight into a large plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time is Sehri today? Sehri ends at Fajr, which changes daily through Ramadan. Select your city in the timetable above for today's exact time, or use the "Detect my location" option.

What time is Iftar today? Iftar begins at Maghrib, local sunset, which also shifts daily. Check the timetable above for your city's current time.

Why do Sehri and Iftar times change every day? Daylight length changes gradually as the year progresses, so sunrise and sunset shift by roughly a minute each day. Over the 29 or 30 days of Ramadan, this adds up to a noticeable difference between the first and last day of the month.

Which calculation method should I use? Whichever one your local mosque follows. If you're unsure, University of Islamic Sciences Karachi is the most common default across South Asia, Muslim World League is common in Europe, and ISNA is standard across North America.

Why are the timings on this page slightly different from my mosque's printed calendar? Small differences of a minute or two usually come down to a different calculation method or a different reference point within the same city. If the gap is larger than a few minutes, check which method your mosque uses and switch to match it in the calculator above.

Can I use this timetable for the whole month at once? Yes. The full Ramadan 2027 timetable below lists Sehri and Iftar times for every day of the month for your selected city, so you don't need to check it daily unless you want to confirm today's exact time.
