Houston Ramadan Calendar 2027: Suhoor, Iftar & Fasting Times

When Is Ramadan 2027 in Houston

Ramadan follows the Hijri calendar, a lunar system of about 354 days, so it shifts roughly 10 to 11 days earlier each Gregorian year. In 2027, most astronomical calculations point to the crescent moon of Ramadan 1448 AH being sighted on the evening of Sunday, February 7, with Monday, February 8, 2027, as the first day of fasting for communities that follow the calculated calendar used by the Fiqh Council of North America. Some Houston mosques that rely on direct moon sighting rather than calculation may confirm the start a day earlier or later, so a spread of February 7 to February 9 is worth keeping in mind while you plan.

Because the month runs 29 or 30 days depending on the sighting of the Shawwal crescent, Ramadan 2027 in Houston is expected to end around March 8, with Eid al Fitr celebrated on or near Tuesday, March 9, 2027. As with the start date, treat this as a planning figure. Islamic Info Center will update this page once the Islamic Society of Greater Houston and other local mosques issue their official announcements closer to the month.

One detail unique to a Ramadan that lands in February and March is Daylight Saving Time. Clocks in Houston are set to move forward on Sunday, March 14, 2027. If your local calendar has Ramadan continuing past that date, expect Iftar to jump about an hour later on the clock overnight, even though the actual length of the fasting day barely changes.

Full Houston Ramadan 2027 Timetable

The table below is calculated for Houston, TX using standard solar position formulas at ISNA's 15 degree Fajr and Isha angle, for all 29 days of the FCNA calculated calendar (Monday, February 8 through Monday, March 8, 2027). All times are Central Standard Time, since Daylight Saving Time does not begin until March 14, 2027, after this window closes. If your mosque observes a 30th day of fasting, add roughly one more minute to Fajr and one more minute to Maghrib beyond the March 8 row. Treat this as a reliable planning table, then confirm the exact time for any single day against your own mosque's printed calendar, since local method and moon sighting can shift things by a minute or by a full day.

Calculated for Houston, TX (29.76°N, 95.37°W) using the ISNA convention, Central Standard Time throughout. Cross checked against a published Houston prayer calendar for the equivalent solar dates and found to line up within a minute. Always confirm the exact daily time with your mosque before relying on it for fasting, since moon sighting can shift the whole month by a day.

Because 2027 keeps Ramadan planted in the heart of winter, Houston fasters get one of the more comfortable versions of the month in the current 33 year cycle. Fasting days run close to 12 hours rather than the 14 or 15 hour days that show up when Ramadan lands in summer, and Houston's mild winter weather means Taraweeh and late night Qiyam are easier on the body than in July or August.

The trade off comes at the very end of the month. If your mosque's calendar has Ramadan or the final nights of Itikaf running past March 14, the clocks jump forward and Iftar suddenly lands nearly an hour later than the night before. It is a good idea to mark that Sunday on your family calendar now, especially if you are hosting a community Iftar or planning an Eid trip.

How to Use This Calendar

Ramadan in the Houston Muslim Community

Greater Houston has one of the larger and more established Muslim communities in the southern United States, anchored by long running organizations such as the Islamic Society of Greater Houston, which operates multiple masajid and community centers across the metro area, alongside numerous independent mosques serving Houston's South Asian, Arab, African, and Southeast Asian communities. During Ramadan, many of these centers host nightly community Iftars, extended Taraweeh prayers, Quran completion circles, and food distribution drives that reach beyond the Muslim community into Houston's wider interfaith and charitable networks.

If this is your first Ramadan in Houston, or your first with young children, community Iftars are a practical way to meet neighbors, learn the local moon sighting convention your mosque follows, and get a feel for how the month is observed across the city before you settle into your own household routine.

Islamic Info Center will keep updating this page as official Ramadan 2027 dates for Houston are confirmed, along with details on major community Iftars and Taraweeh schedules as mosques publish them.
