Ankara Ramadan Calendar 2027 — Sehri & Iftar Times

This is the complete Ramadan 2027 calendar for Ankara, Turkey, 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. Ramadan is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in Turkey, subject to the sighting of the new moon, and to end with Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. In Ankara the opening fast lasts 12 hours 5 minutes and the closing one 13 hours 15 minutes; Fajr drifts 37 minutes earlier and Maghrib 33 minutes earlier between the two ends of the table. The calculation point is Ankara (39.93, 32.86) and the method is Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Turkey (experimental) (Europe/Istanbul) — treat the rows as exact for Ankara and as a close guide elsewhere in Turkey.

Reading a row in Ankara: begin it at Fajr (06:18 on day 1, drifting to 05:41 by day 30), end it at Maghrib, and let Sehri finish a few minutes before the Fajr figure 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 Ankara that wait is 12 hours 5 minutes on the first day and 13 hours 15 minutes on the last. Notice the drift measured in this table: Because the month falls in late winter at Ankara's latitude (39.9), 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 Ankara that night's fast has run from Fajr 05:45 to Maghrib 18:52.

Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali times in Ankara

The madhab selector on the live page exists for exactly one column. Sehri (Fajr) and Iftar (Maghrib) are shared by Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali alike — in Ankara that is 06:18 and 18:23 on the first day and 05:41 and 18:56 on the last. What differs is Asr: the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali calculation, printed here as 15:55 on day 1, begins when a shadow equals the object's length, while the Hanafi calculation, 16:38 on day 1, waits for twice the length — 43 minutes later in Ankara. 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 Sehri and Iftar times in Ankara

For Jafari readers in Ankara, the live page carries a separate Jafari tab built from this same table. Applied to Ankara: day 1 Sehri 06:08 (Fajr 06:18 minus 10) and Iftar 18:35 (Maghrib 18:23 plus 12); day 30 Sehri 05:31 and Iftar 19:08. Only the fast's endpoints move — the prayer times in between stay exactly as the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Turkey (experimental) method calculates them for Ankara.

Duas for Sehri and Iftar

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 Ankara: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (06:18 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."

Notes on this calendar

About these times in Ankara: the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Turkey (experimental) method, applied to Ankara itself (39.93, 32.86, Europe/Istanbul), produces the whole table; it is not a national average and it is not copied from a neighbouring city. 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.

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: an Eid announced in Turkey after 29 fasts retires the last row unused, and its 18:56 Iftar in Ankara never happens. If Turkey'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 (06:18 here on day 1) or Isha (19:42), the two times the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Turkey (experimental) angles govern, rather than at Maghrib, which every method reads straight off the sunset.

For workers on physical shifts in Ankara, plan around the month's shape: fasts of 12 hours 5 minutes at the start becoming 13 hours 15 minutes by the end. Where health, medication, pregnancy or travel enters the picture, the ruling may change entirely. Guides linked below work through the exemptions and what replaces a missed fast — Fidya or Qaza — and a scholar in Turkey can apply them to your case. May Allah accept it from you and from us, and bless the month for Ankara.

Frequently asked questions

When does Ramadan 2027 start in Ankara?

The expected first fast in Ankara is Monday 8 February 2027, pending the moon sighting that confirms it. Should the start be announced a day later, shift every row by one day; the drift across the month in Ankara is gradual — Fajr moves 37 minutes earlier in total — so no day's times change abruptly.

What are the Sehri and Iftar times in Ankara on the first day of Ramadan 2027?

The first Sehri deadline in Ankara is at 06:18 (Mon, 8 Feb 2027), and the fast is broken at Maghrib 18:23. From that Fajr, nothing is eaten or drunk until Iftar — a fast of 12 hours 5 minutes. Fajr drifts 37 minutes earlier across the month in Ankara, ending at 05:41 on day 30, while Iftar moves to 18:56.

Which calculation method does the Ankara Ramadan calendar use?

The Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Turkey (experimental) convention — the method customary for Ankara — which is the convention customarily used for this part of Turkey. Under this method, day 1 in Ankara opens at Fajr 06:18 and closes at Maghrib 18:23. 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 Ankara, in the madhab you select, can be downloaded from the live version of this page.

Why are there two Asr times for Ankara, and which one should I use?

Asr is where the madhab choice shows up in Ankara's table — Sehri and Iftar do not change. In Ankara on day 1 that is 15:55 for Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali worshippers and 16:38 for Hanafi worshippers — 43 minutes apart. Both timings are classical and agreed within their schools — they rest on different readings of the shadow hadith, not on geography, so the gap in Ankara (43 minutes on day 1, 49 minutes on day 30) is a fiqh difference, not a calculation error. If you pray in congregation, follow your mosque's column; the printed table keeps both so a household of mixed madhabs can still share one calendar.

What is the longest fast in Ankara during Ramadan 2027?

In Ankara the month peaks on day 30: 13 hours 15 minutes from Fajr 05:41 to Maghrib 18:56 (Tue, 9 Mar 2027). The shortest is day 1 at 12 hours 5 minutes, and day 1 runs 12 hours 5 minutes against day 30's 13 hours 15 minutes. If Ramadan completes 30 days where you are, the final evening's Maghrib is followed by the night of Eid; if the new moon is sighted a day earlier, Eid falls a day sooner and the final row is not used.

What are the Jafari (Shia) Sehri and Iftar times in Ankara?

Jafari practice in Ankara is shown separately on the live page: stop eating 10 minutes before Fajr, and break the fast 12 minutes after Maghrib. On day 1 in Ankara that means Sehri by 06:08 (Fajr 06:18 minus 10 minutes) and Iftar at 18:35 (Maghrib 18:23 plus 12 minutes). The main table itself is unchanged — it prints the Fajr and Maghrib every fiqh starts from, and the Jafari figures are a clearly labelled adjustment to those two moments only; Asr, Dhuhr and Isha are not moved.
