Home / Ramadan Times / United Kingdom / Birmingham
This is the complete Ramadan 2027 calendar for Birmingham, United Kingdom, Sehri, Sunrise, Dhuhr, both Asr times, Iftar and Isha for each of the month's thirty days, 8 February 2027 to Tue, 9 Mar 2027. Expected boundaries for United Kingdom: a first fast on Monday 8 February 2027, subject to the crescent, and Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. In Birmingham the opening fast lasts 11 hours 26 minutes and the closing one 13 hours 18 minutes; and ends at 13 hours 18 minutes on day 30 (Fajr 04:43, Maghrib 18:01). Times are calculated for Birmingham itself using the Muslim World League method (Europe/London), so if you live elsewhere in United Kingdom your local times may differ by a few minutes — the further you are from Birmingham, the more you should prefer your local mosque's published timetable.
Reading a row in Birmingham: the fast begins at Fajr, so Sehri — the pre-dawn meal the Prophet ﷺ called a blessing — must finish by the Fajr time in the Sehri column, 05:41 on day 1 and 04:43 on day 30, and many families stop eating a few minutes earlier as a precaution. Nothing is eaten or drunk from Fajr until Maghrib, when the fast is broken at the Iftar time, traditionally with dates and water before the Maghrib prayer. In Birmingham that wait is 11 hours 26 minutes on the first day and 13 hours 18 minutes on the last. Watch the drift across the rows: Because the month falls in late winter at Birmingham's latitude (52.5), daylight is lengthening through Ramadan: each week the fast starts a little earlier and ends a little later than the week before. The most charged nights of the month fall inside this table — the last ten nights begin at Maghrib on 27 February 2027, and Laylat al-Qadr is sought on the odd nights beginning at Maghrib on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March, with the 27th night of Ramadan beginning at Maghrib on 5 March; in Birmingham that night's fast has run from Fajr 04:50 to Maghrib 17:55.

The madhab selector on the live page exists for exactly one column. Fajr and Maghrib — the two ends of the fast — are not a madhab question in Birmingham: all four schools fast from the same dawn to the same sunset. Asr is the difference: 14:37 on day 1 for Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali (shadow equal to length), 15:15 for Hanafi (shadow twice the length), a gap of 38 minutes that widens or narrows only slightly by day 30 (15:17 against 16:04, 47 minutes). Choose your madhab once on the live page and the Asr column, the Today box and the downloadable PDF all follow it — the Sehri and Iftar columns will not change, because they were never in dispute.
The Jafari convention sits alongside this calendar as a clearly labelled adjustment. In numbers for Birmingham: Sehri moves from 05:41 to 05:31 and Iftar from 17:07 to 17:19 on the first day, drifting with the table to 04:33 and 18:13 by the last. Where your own marja's ruling differs from the 10/12-minute convention, follow that ruling; the tab exists to make the common practice easy to find, not to settle a point of taqlid.
Dua at Sehri (intention): Wa bi-sawmi ghadin nawytu min shahri Ramadan — "I intend to keep the fast for tomorrow in the month of Ramadan." Dua at Iftar: Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa 'alayka tawakkaltu wa 'ala rizqika aftartu — "O Allah, I fasted for You, I believe in You, I trust in You, and I break my fast with the provision You have given." Keep both short duas by the table in Birmingham: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (05:41 on day 1), the second at the moment of Iftar, with dates and water, before the Maghrib prayer. In the last ten nights add the Laylat al-Qadr dua taught by the Prophet: Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'anni — "O Allah, You are Pardoning and You love pardon, so pardon me."
About these times in Birmingham: the Muslim World League method, applied to Birmingham itself (52.48, -1.90, Europe/London), produces the whole table; it is not a national average and it is not copied from a neighbouring city. Mosques in Birmingham may differ by a minute or two where they add a precaution at Fajr or Maghrib; that difference is deliberate, not an error, and the mosque you pray with is the timetable to follow on the day.
Why thirty rows when Ramadan may end at twenty-nine? Because the month is completed at 30 only when the Shawwal crescent stays unseen on the 29th evening. The table prints all thirty so both endings are covered: If Eid is announced after 29 fasts in United Kingdom, the final row (Tue, 9 Mar 2027, Iftar 18:01 in Birmingham) simply does not apply, and Iftar on the 29th day is followed by the night of Eid instead. If United Kingdom's start is announced a day later than 8 February 2027, the whole table shifts by one row — the times move with the dates. And where another timetable disagrees with this one, expect the difference at Fajr (05:41 here on day 1) or Isha (18:56), the two times the Muslim World League angles govern, rather than at Maghrib, which every method reads straight off the sunset.
Finally, a practical word for people whose days are long or whose work is physical: the fast in Birmingham runs from 11 hours 26 minutes at its shortest (day 1) to 13 hours 18 minutes at its longest (day 30), and your own situation — illness, medication, pregnancy, travel — may carry a ruling of its own. Read the exemption guides below before deciding anything alone, and ask a scholar where your case is unclear: the fast is precious, and so is the health it was never meant to destroy. May Allah accept your fasting, your prayers and your charity throughout the month.
The expected first fast in Birmingham is Monday 8 February 2027, pending the moon sighting that confirms it. If the crescent is not sighted on the expected evening, shift every row by one day; the drift across the month in Birmingham is gradual — Fajr moves 58 minutes earlier in total — so no day's times change abruptly.
The first Sehri deadline in Birmingham is 05:41 in Birmingham, and Iftar is at Maghrib 17:07. From that Fajr, nothing is eaten or drunk until Iftar — a fast of 11 hours 26 minutes. Across the thirty rows the Sehri deadline travels from 05:41 to 04:43, which is why the table prints every day separately.
The Muslim World League convention — the method customary for Birmingham — which is the convention customarily used for this part of United Kingdom. Under this method, day 1 in Birmingham opens at Fajr 05:41 and closes at Maghrib 17:07. Communities and mosques occasionally adjust by a minute or two for precaution, so treat your local mosque's timetable as final where it differs slightly. A branded PDF calendar for Birmingham, in the madhab you select, can be downloaded from the live version of this page.
Asr is where the madhab choice shows up in Birmingham's table — Sehri and Iftar do not change. Day 1 makes it concrete: Asr at 14:37 on the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali calculation, and at 15:15 on the Hanafi calculation, a difference of 38 minutes. The difference comes from the shadow rule: the first three schools begin Asr when an object's shadow equals its length (besides the noon shadow), while the Hanafi school waits until the shadow is twice the length. Pick the column of your own madhab on the live page and the whole table — and the PDF download — follows that choice.
Day 30 is the longest in Birmingham: 13 hours 18 minutes between Fajr 04:43 and Maghrib 18:01. Day 1 lasts 11 hours 26 minutes and the last day 13 hours 18 minutes, with the shortest fast — day 1, 11 hours 26 minutes — in between. Because the month falls in late winter at Birmingham's latitude (52.5), daylight is lengthening through Ramadan: each week the fast starts a little earlier and ends a little later than the week before.
The Jafari tab on this page applies the customary precaution: Sehri ends 10 minutes before the Fajr in the main table, and Iftar begins 12 minutes after Maghrib. For Birmingham on day 1: Sehri 05:31 and Iftar 17:19. By day 30 those precautionary times have moved to 04:33 and 18:13. Treat the Jafari times as the precautionary practice they are labelled as, and follow your own marja's guidance where it differs.
