Kuala Lumpur Ramadan Calendar 2027: Ultimate Suhoor & Iftar

By Islamic Info Center Editorial Team, updated 22 October 2026, 9 minute read

The Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar for 2027 points to a start on Monday, 8 February 2027, with Iftar at roughly 7:25 PM and Suhoor ending near 5:55 AM. This Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar guide gives you the dates, the daily times, a printable timetable and practical tips you can use from the first night.

Kuala Lumpur Ramadan Calendar 2027 at a Glance

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar year, and 1448 AH begins in early 2027. Because the lunar year is about eleven days shorter than the solar year, Ramadan arrives earlier every year. In 2027 it lands in February and March, during the drier months for much of the Klang Valley, although short afternoon showers are still common.

Expected Start Date

Astronomical calculations place the first day on Monday, 8 February 2027. The crescent is checked on the evening of Sunday, 7 February, which is 29 Shaban. If it is not seen, Shaban completes 30 days and Ramadan begins on Tuesday, 9 February. You can read more about the lead up month on our page about the month of Shaban.

Expected End Date and Eid

Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days. The current projection is a 29 day month ending on 8 March 2027, which would bring Hari Raya Aidilfitri on 9 March 2027. Malaysian listings sometimes show 10 March, so keep both dates in mind until the official announcement. For what comes next, see our guide to Shawwal.

Is It a Public Holiday?

The first day of Ramadan is a state holiday in Johor, Kedah and Melaka. Time and Date lists these holidays for each year. In the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, it is a regular working day, so plan your commute and your first Suhoor accordingly.

How Malaysia Confirms the Start of Ramadan

Malaysia relies on rukyah, the physical sighting of the new crescent, supported by calculation. Teams from JAKIM and state religious departments observe at approved locations. The Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal then announces the result on national television and radio, usually shortly after Maghrib.

This is why every Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar printed months ahead says “expected”. Think of the Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar as a forecast with a very high chance of being right. Check the official portal at JAKIM e Solat and the JAKIM website on the evening of 7 February 2027 to confirm.

Kuala Lumpur Ramadan Timetable 2027 for Suhoor and Iftar

The table below is the daily Kuala Lumpur Ramadan timetable 2027 for a 29 day month. Suhoor should end at Imsak. Subuh is the call that starts the fast in prayer terms, and Iftar is at Maghrib. These are calculated planning times for Kuala Lumpur and may differ by a few minutes from the final JAKIM zone schedule, so confirm with the official source before relying on a single minute.

Day 30 is added only if the moon is not sighted on 8 March. Its times would be within one minute of Day 29.

Kuala Lumpur Ramadan Timing 2027: What the Numbers Mean

Kuala Lumpur sits just over three degrees north of the equator. That means sunrise and sunset barely shift across the month. Iftar moves only a couple of minutes earlier, and Imsak moves about three minutes earlier from start to finish.

Fasting Length

From Subuh to Maghrib the fast runs for about 13 hours and 20 minutes every day. That is longer than in some northern countries in winter, yet far steadier. Your body adapts quickly because the rhythm does not change week to week.

Day by Day Pattern

A typical day looks like this. You wake around 5:15 AM for Suhoor, finish at Imsak, pray Subuh, work or study through the day, pray Zohor around 1:25 PM and Asar mid afternoon, then break your fast at Maghrib. Isha and Taraweeh follow soon after, with most mosques finishing by 9:30 PM to 10:00 PM.

How to Use This Kuala Lumpur Ramadan Calendar

Start by saving the dates that matter most: the first fast, the first Friday, the last ten nights and the expected Eid. Then add Imsak and Maghrib alarms for each day. The Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar works best when you pair it with the official daily update from JAKIM.

Set Two Alarms

Set one alarm thirty minutes before Imsak for Suhoor and another fifteen minutes before Maghrib for Iftar preparation. These two habits remove most of the stress from the month.

Check After the Announcement

If the official start is 9 February instead of 8 February, shift every date in this Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar forward by one day. The clock times stay almost the same.

Suhoor Planning for a Strong Fast

Suhoor is a blessing and a practical tool, so use the Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar above to set your alarm the night before. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, encouraged it, and it keeps you steady through a long day. Our page on fasting in Islam explains the rulings, and the main Ramadan guide covers the spiritual side.

What to Eat

Choose slow release foods. Oats, eggs, dates, yoghurt, rice with vegetables and a banana work well. In Malaysia many families prefer nasi lemak with less sambal, or a simple bowl of porridge with chicken.

Sample Suhoor Plate

Two boiled eggs, a small portion of rice or wholemeal bread, a handful of dates, a glass of water and a cup of milk. This gives protein, fibre and enough fluid without making you feel heavy at 5:30 AM.

Hydration Tip

Drink two glasses of water at Suhoor and spread another six to eight glasses between Iftar and bedtime. Limit tea and coffee, since caffeine can increase thirst the next day.

Iftar in Kuala Lumpur: Plan the Evening

Plan every evening around your Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar so you are never rushing at Maghrib. Break your fast with water and dates, pray Maghrib, then eat your main meal. This simple order protects your stomach and keeps the evening calm.

Ramadan Bazaars

Ramadan bazaars are the heart of the month in the city. Wego’s Malaysia Ramadan guide highlights Kampung Baru and TTDI as well known spots, and the Kampung Baru area is famous for large scale dishes prepared daily. Arrive by 4:30 PM for the best selection and bring small notes to speed up payment.

Hotel Buffets and Community Iftars

Hotels in Bukit Bintang and KLCC offer Iftar buffets, usually priced for groups and booked well ahead in the first week and the last ten days. Many mosques also serve free community Iftar. If you attend one, arrive early and help tidy up afterwards.

Traffic Before Iftar

Roads around the city centre fill up between 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM. If you are driving, leave work earlier or carry dates and water in the car in case you are still on the road at Maghrib.

Taraweeh and Night Worship

Taraweeh is prayed after Isha, and the Isha column in the Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar tells you when to arrive. Large congregations gather at Masjid Negara and Masjid Jamek in Kuala Lumpur, and many neighbourhood surau offer shorter, family friendly sessions. Our guide to Salah and the daily prayer times page can help you plan.

Choosing a Mosque

Pick a mosque by distance and recitation pace. If you are new to Taraweeh, start with a shorter eight rakat session, then build up as your stamina improves.

The Last Ten Nights and Laylatul Qadr

The last ten nights are the most precious part of the month, and every Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar should mark them clearly. Laylatul Qadr is sought on the odd nights, especially the 27th. Based on the expected start, the 27th night of Ramadan falls on the evening of 5 March 2027, and the nights after Maghrib on 4 March to 8 March are the odd night window, with dates depending on the moon sighting. Spend those nights in prayer, Quran recitation and charity. If you have not paid your zakat yet, this is a meaningful time to do it.

Practical Tips for Residents and Visitors

For Working Professionals

Share this Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar with your team so meetings avoid Iftar time. Many offices in Kuala Lumpur shorten the Friday break and allow earlier finishing hours. Ask your manager about flexible hours, and schedule demanding meetings in the morning when energy is highest.

For Visitors and Tourists

Some daytime restaurants close or serve behind screens, though many in tourist areas stay open. Respect local custom by not eating or drinking openly in front of fasting people. Check Tourism Malaysia for seasonal event listings and mosque visiting hours.

For Families

Print the Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar for the family board and let children practise a half day fast on weekends. Praise their effort and keep it light. Our Islamic quiz can make learning fun in the evenings.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Do not rely on one unofficial app for the exact minute. Do not skip Suhoor, since it makes the last hours of the day much harder. Do not overeat at Iftar, which causes drowsiness during Taraweeh. And do not wait for the final announcement before preparing your household; use this Kuala Lumpur Ramadan calendar to plan, then adjust by a day if needed.
