Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and one of the most important periods of the year for Muslims. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, increase their prayers and Quran reading, give charity and make a greater effort to practice patience and self-discipline.

For Muslims living in Los Angeles, accurate local prayer times are especially important because Fajr and Maghrib change gradually from one day to the next. A timetable calculated for another American city should not automatically be used in Los Angeles.

This guide provides a convenient day-by-day reference for Ramadan 1448 AH in Los Angeles. The table includes the main prayer times as well as the two times that matter most for fasting: Fajr, when the fasting period begins, and Maghrib, when the fast ends.

When Is Ramadan 2027 in Los Angeles?

Current astronomical calendars project the first day of Ramadan 1448 AH to fall on Monday, February 8, 2027 in Los Angeles, with the projected 29th day on Monday, March 8, 2027. Ramadan may, however, begin or end one day differently depending on the moon-sighting method followed by a particular mosque or community.

This is why Muslims in Los Angeles may occasionally see different Ramadan dates published online. Some organizations rely on astronomical calculations, while others wait for a local or regional crescent sighting. For religious observance, follow the announcement of the mosque or Islamic organization you normally attend.

Full Los Angeles Ramadan Timetable 2027

The following schedule provides the complete projected Ramadan prayer timetable for Los Angeles. Times are shown in Pacific Standard Time (PST). Fajr is used as the fasting cutoff reference, while Maghrib is the Iftar time.

The schedule below follows the Los Angeles Ramadan prayer calculations published by AlAdhan. Calculation methods can produce small differences from mosque timetables, particularly for Fajr and Isha.

Note: Prayer times are calculated values and may differ by a few minutes from an individual Los Angeles mosque timetable. Always give priority to the timetable provided by your local mosque when it differs from a general online calculation.

How Are Los Angeles Ramadan Prayer Times Calculated?

Fasting times are determined by the position of the sun. The beginning of the fast is associated with the arrival of Fajr, while the fast is broken at sunset when Maghrib begins.

Because Los Angeles is located at a specific latitude and longitude, its Fajr, sunrise and sunset times are different from those in New York, Chicago, Houston or Dearborn. Even cities within California can have slightly different times.

Online prayer calendars can also differ because Islamic organizations use different calculation methods for Fajr and Isha. For this reason, a difference of several minutes between two reputable calendars does not necessarily mean that one source is incorrect.

Why Does the Timetable Change Every Day?

Earth's changing position relative to the sun causes sunrise and sunset to shift gradually throughout the month. In this Los Angeles schedule, Fajr becomes earlier while Maghrib becomes later as Ramadan progresses. Consequently, the fasting period becomes longer toward the end of the projected Ramadan period.

How Long Will Muslims Fast in Los Angeles in 2027?

On the first projected day, Fajr is approximately 5:20 AM and Maghrib is approximately 5:30 PM. That produces a fasting period of roughly 12 hours and 10 minutes.

By the projected 29th day, Fajr is around 4:50 AM and Maghrib around 5:55 PM. The fasting window is therefore roughly 13 hours and 5 minutes.

This gradual increase is useful to know when planning work, school, exercise, travel and family activities. Los Angeles experiences relatively moderate fasting hours during this winter-to-early-spring Ramadan compared with some northern U.S. cities.

When Should You Stop Suhoor and Break Your Fast?

Suhoor Ends at Fajr

For this timetable, the Fajr time is used as the fasting cutoff. Therefore, if the table lists Fajr at 5:20 AM, you should finish eating and drinking before the beginning of Fajr according to the practice and timetable followed by your local mosque.

Some printed Ramadan calendars show an additional precautionary margin before Fajr. Such a margin should not be confused with a separate Islamic prayer time. Follow your mosque's published guidance if it specifies a particular precaution.

Iftar Begins at Maghrib

Maghrib marks sunset and the end of the daily fast. For example, if Maghrib is listed as 5:30 PM, the fasting day ends at that time. Muslims commonly break the fast with dates and water before performing the Maghrib prayer.

Practical Ramadan Tips for Muslims in Los Angeles

1. Save Your Local Mosque's Timetable

Los Angeles has a large and diverse Muslim community, and different mosques may use different calculation methods. Once your mosque publishes its official Ramadan schedule, save it to your phone and compare it with your preferred prayer app.

2. Prepare Suhoor Before Sleeping

Preparing part of Suhoor the night before can make early mornings easier. Keep water available and choose filling foods such as oats, eggs, yogurt, fruit, whole grains and other foods that fit your dietary needs.

3. Plan Iftar Around Traffic

Los Angeles traffic can make an ordinary commute unpredictable. During Ramadan, consider carrying dates and water if you are traveling close to Maghrib, while observing Islamic guidance about where and when to break your fast.

4. Plan Taraweeh in Advance

Taraweeh prayers are commonly performed after Isha during Ramadan. Check your mosque's Ramadan schedule because Taraweeh starting times, number of rak'ahs and Quran recitation schedules can vary between communities.

5. Make a Worship Plan

A simple daily plan can help you use Ramadan intentionally. For example: pray the five daily prayers on time, read a manageable portion of the Quran, give regular charity, make dua and reserve additional time for reflection.

The Last 10 Nights of Ramadan 2027

The final ten nights of Ramadan are among the most spiritually important nights of the year. Muslims traditionally increase their worship, Quran recitation, dua, charity and night prayers during this period.

Based on the projected timetable above, the final ten nights fall during the closing part of Ramadan, beginning around the night associated with Ramadan 20/21 and continuing through the end of the month.

Laylat al-Qadr

Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, is traditionally sought during the odd-numbered nights of the final ten nights: 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th nights. Muslims should not restrict their worship to only one night, because the exact night is not definitively identified.

The final ten nights are therefore an excellent time to increase voluntary prayer, make sincere dua, seek forgiveness and give charity.

How to Use This Timetable Responsibly

Prayer-time tables are tools for planning rather than substitutes for your local mosque's religious guidance. The calculations depend on geographic coordinates, astronomical parameters and the selected calculation method.

Islamic Info Center recommends checking this page against your local Los Angeles mosque timetable when Ramadan approaches. If your mosque announces a different Fajr or Maghrib time, follow the timetable provided by your mosque for your congregation.
