Ramadan
Ramadan 1448 AH, day by day
When the month is expected to begin, suhoor and iftar times for your city, and how to keep training and eating well while you fast.
Expected first day of fasting
Monday 8 February 2027
Expected; subject to moon sighting
This date comes from the Umm al-Qura calendar. Ramadan begins when the new moon is sighted, which can move the first fast by a day, so follow the announcement from your local masjid. Taraweeh begins the night before, after ʿIshā.
From the Quran
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
“O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.”
Suhoor and iftar
Thirty days of fasting times
Suhoor ends at Fajr; the fast breaks at Maghrib. Choose your city and the whole month follows.

At iftar
The duʿā for breaking the fast
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Dhahaba ẓ-ẓamaʾu, wabtallati l-ʿurūqu, wa thabata l-ajru in shāʾ Allāh.
“Thirst has gone, the arteries are moist, and the reward is sure, if Allah wills.”
From the Sunnah of fasting
From the Sunnah
تَسَحَّرُوا فَإِنَّ فِي السَّحُورِ بَرَكَةً
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Take suhoor, as there is a blessing in it.”
From the Sunnah
لاَ يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا عَجَّلُوا الْفِطْرَ
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The people will remain on the right path as long as they hasten the breaking of the fast.”
From the Sunnah
Anas ibn Mālik reported:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to break his fast before praying with some fresh dates; but if there were no fresh dates, he had a few dry dates, and if there were no dry dates, he took some mouthfuls of water.”

A plan that fasts with you
Your personalised plan anchors meals to Fajr and Maghrib, not the clock. In Ramadan it switches to suhoor and iftar automatically, so every meal falls between Maghrib and Fajr, and training volume halves while the loads stay the same.
