For Karachi, the table below prints every fasting day of Ramadan 1448 AH — 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. The month is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 — moon sighting permitting — and to close with Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. In Karachi the opening fast lasts 12 hours 28 minutes and the closing one 13 hours 6 minutes; and ends at 13 hours 6 minutes on day 30 (Fajr 05:32, Maghrib 18:38). The calculation point is Karachi (24.86, 67.01) and the method is University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi (Asia/Karachi) — treat the rows as exact for Karachi and as a close guide elsewhere in Pakistan.
Reading a row in Karachi: begin it at Fajr (05:53 on day 1, drifting to 05:32 by day 30), end it at Maghrib, and let Sehri finish a few minutes before the Fajr figure as a precaution. The Iftar moment is the Maghrib figure — 18:21 on day 1, 18:38 on day 30 — the fast is then broken at Iftar, classically with dates and water before the prayer. The abstinence in Karachi lasts 12 hours 28 minutes at the month's opening and 13 hours 6 minutes at its close. Notice the drift measured in this table: Because the month falls in late winter at Karachi's latitude (24.9), daylight is lengthening through Ramadan: each week the fast starts a little earlier and ends a little later than the week before. Inside these rows sit the odd nights of the last ten days — opening at Maghrib on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March — when Laylat al-Qadr is sought; the 27th night opens at Maghrib on 5 March, which in Karachi is the 18:36 Iftar of Ramadan day 26's row, and its fast follows at Fajr 05:34.

One calendar, four madhabs — and only one moving part. Fajr and Maghrib — the two ends of the fast — are not a madhab question in Karachi: all four schools fast from the same dawn to the same sunset. The printed pair on day 1 — 15:57 (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) and 16:45 (Hanafi) — encodes the classical shadow disagreement, and the table keeps both columns all month so nobody has to convert by hand. 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.
Jafari (Shia) times are shown in their own tab on the live page, not mixed into the table above. Following the customary precaution, Sehri is completed 10 minutes before Fajr and Iftar is taken 12 minutes after Maghrib: in Karachi on day 1 that is Sehri by 05:43 and Iftar at 18:33, and on day 30 Sehri by 05:22 and Iftar at 18:50. The adjustment touches only the two ends of the fast; it does not move Dhuhr, Asr or Isha, and it is presented as Jafari fiqh practice so that no reader mistakes a precautionary time for the Fajr or Maghrib of the main method.
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 Karachi: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (05:53 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."
Method and honesty note for Karachi: calculation method University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi, calculation point Karachi (Asia/Karachi). Fajr and Isha rest on the method's sun angles; Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib follow the sun's actual position over Karachi. Allow a precaution of about one minute at each end of the fast — stop eating a minute before the printed Fajr and wait a minute after the printed Maghrib if you wish to be careful — and treat your local mosque's announced timetable as final wherever it differs by a minute or two, since mosques sometimes build that precaution in.
The thirtieth row is insurance, not a promise. Ramadan closes at 29 days if the new crescent is sighted on that evening, and only runs to the Tue, 9 Mar 2027 row — Fajr 05:32, Maghrib 18:38 in Karachi — if it is not. an Eid announced in Pakistan after 29 fasts retires the last row unused, and its 18:38 Iftar in Karachi never happens. A later announced start shifts everything by a day; an earlier one is not possible once the month has begun. Method differences show up at the edges of the day — the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi Fajr of 05:53 and Isha of 19:39 on day 1 are convention, while Dhuhr (12:46), Asr and Maghrib are the sun itself, which is why rival tables agree on Iftar and quarrel politely over Sehri.
Finally, a practical word for people whose days are long or whose work is physical: the fast in Karachi runs from 12 hours 28 minutes at its shortest (day 1) to 13 hours 6 minutes at its longest (day 30), and your own situation — illness, medication, pregnancy, travel — may carry a ruling of its own. The exemptions, and the Fidya and Qaza that follow from them, are covered in the guides linked below; when in doubt, ask a scholar rather than abandoning the fast or harming your health. May Allah accept your fasts, your night prayers and your giving this month.
Planning in Karachi runs on Monday 8 February 2027 as the first day of Ramadan 1448 AH, pending the moon sighting that confirms it. If the crescent is not sighted on the expected evening, the month begins a day later and every date in this table shifts by one day — the times themselves, computed for Karachi, barely move between neighbouring days.
The first Sehri deadline in Karachi is 05:53 in Karachi, and Iftar is at Maghrib 18:21. Eat and drink before that time; the fast then runs 12 hours 28 minutes until Maghrib. Across the thirty rows the Sehri deadline travels from 05:53 to 05:32, which is why the table prints every day separately.
This calendar uses the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, which is the convention customarily used for this part of Pakistan. Fajr gives the Sehri end time and Maghrib gives Iftar; the method's sun angles are what fix Fajr at 05:53 and Isha at 19:39 on day 1, while Dhuhr (12:46) and Maghrib follow the sun directly. 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 Karachi, in the madhab you select, can be downloaded from the live version of this page.
Asr is where the madhab choice shows up in Karachi's table — Sehri and Iftar do not change. On day 1 the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali Asr is 15:57, while the Hanafi Asr is 16:45 — 48 minutes later. 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.
The longest fast in this table is day 30 (Tue, 9 Mar 2027), at 13 hours 6 minutes — Fajr 05:32 to Maghrib 18:38. Day 1 lasts 12 hours 28 minutes and the last day 13 hours 6 minutes, with the shortest fast — day 1, 12 hours 28 minutes — in between. That shape is fixed by Karachi's latitude (24.9) and the February–March season, not by the calculation method: every method agrees on Fajr and Maghrib to within a minute or two here.
Jafari practice in Karachi is shown separately on the live page: stop eating 10 minutes before Fajr, and break the fast 12 minutes after Maghrib. Day 1 in Karachi: Sehri 05:43, Iftar 18:33; day 30: Sehri 05:22, Iftar 18:50. Nothing else in the table changes for Jafari readers: the adjustment touches only the start and end of the fast, and it is labelled as Jafari practice rather than mixed into the Sunni madhab columns.
