Abu Dhabi Ramadan Calendar 2027 — Sehri & Iftar Times

This is the complete Ramadan 2027 calendar for Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 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 United Arab Emirates, subject to the sighting of the new moon, and to end with Eid al-Fitr around 9–10 March 2027. The shape of the month in Abu Dhabi: the fast begins at 12 hours 33 minutes on day 1 (Fajr 05:43, Maghrib 18:16) and ends at 13 hours 10 minutes on day 30 (Fajr 05:22, Maghrib 18:32). Times are calculated for Abu Dhabi itself using the Dubai (experimental) method (Asia/Dubai), so if you live elsewhere in United Arab Emirates your local times may differ by a few minutes — the further you are from Abu Dhabi, the more you should prefer your local mosque's published timetable.

How to read the day in Abu Dhabi: begin it at Fajr (05:43 on day 1, drifting to 05:22 by day 30), end it at Maghrib, and let Sehri finish a few minutes before the Fajr figure as a precaution. Between those two times nothing passes the lips; when the fast is broken at the Iftar time, traditionally with dates and water before the Maghrib prayer. In Abu Dhabi that wait is 12 hours 33 minutes on the first day and 13 hours 10 minutes on the last. The drift is the reason the table exists row by row: Because the month falls in late winter at Abu Dhabi's latitude (24.5), 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 Abu Dhabi is the 18:30 Iftar of Ramadan day 26's row, and its fast follows at Fajr 05:23.

Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali times in Abu Dhabi

One calendar, four madhabs — and only one moving part. Fajr and Maghrib — the two ends of the fast — are not a madhab question in Abu Dhabi: all four schools fast from the same dawn to the same sunset. The printed pair on day 1 — 15:48 (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) and 16:36 (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 Sehri and Iftar times in Abu Dhabi

The Jafari convention sits alongside this calendar as a clearly labelled adjustment. Following the customary precaution, Sehri is completed 10 minutes before Fajr and Iftar is taken 12 minutes after Maghrib: in Abu Dhabi on day 1 that is Sehri by 05:33 and Iftar at 18:28, and on day 30 Sehri by 05:12 and Iftar at 18:44. 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.

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 Abu Dhabi: the first is said quietly with the intention before Fajr (05:43 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 Abu Dhabi: every time is calculated for Abu Dhabi's coordinates (24.45, 54.38) in the Asia/Dubai time zone, using the Dubai (experimental) method — the convention customary for United Arab Emirates. Times are printed to the minute, as calculated; a one-minute precaution at Sehri and Iftar is a long-standing local practice in many communities, and your mosque's timetable — which may already include it — takes precedence in any close call.

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 United Arab Emirates after 29 fasts retires the last row unused, and its 18:32 Iftar in Abu Dhabi never happens. A later announced start shifts everything by a day; an earlier one is not possible once the month has begun. And where another timetable disagrees with this one, expect the difference at Fajr (05:43 here on day 1) or Isha (19:31), the two times the Dubai (experimental) angles govern, rather than at Maghrib, which every method reads straight off the sunset.

For workers on physical shifts in Abu Dhabi, plan around the month's shape: fasts of 12 hours 33 minutes at the start becoming 13 hours 10 minutes by the end. Where health, medication, pregnancy or travel enters the picture, the ruling may change entirely. 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.

Frequently asked questions

When does Ramadan 2027 start in Abu Dhabi?

Planning in Abu Dhabi runs on Monday 8 February 2027 as the first day of Ramadan 1448 AH, subject to the sighting of the new moon and the official announcement followed in United Arab Emirates. Should the start be announced a day later, shift every row by one day; the drift across the month in Abu Dhabi is gradual — Fajr moves 21 minutes earlier in total — so no day's times change abruptly.

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

The first Sehri deadline in Abu Dhabi is 05:43 in Abu Dhabi, and Iftar is at Maghrib 18:16. From that Fajr, nothing is eaten or drunk until Iftar — a fast of 12 hours 33 minutes. Across the thirty rows the Sehri deadline travels from 05:43 to 05:22, which is why the table prints every day separately.

Which calculation method does the Abu Dhabi Ramadan calendar use?

The Dubai (experimental) convention — the method customary for Abu Dhabi — produces every time in this table for Abu Dhabi, in the Asia/Dubai zone. Under this method, day 1 in Abu Dhabi opens at Fajr 05:43 and closes at Maghrib 18:16. 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 Abu Dhabi, in the madhab you select, can be downloaded from the live version of this page.

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

Only Asr changes with the madhab in Abu Dhabi; Fajr (Sehri) and Maghrib (Iftar) are identical for everyone. In Abu Dhabi on day 1 that is 15:48 for Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali worshippers and 16:36 for Hanafi worshippers — 48 minutes apart. 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.

What is the longest fast in Abu Dhabi during Ramadan 2027?

The longest fast in this table is day 30 (Tue, 9 Mar 2027), at 13 hours 10 minutes — Fajr 05:22 to Maghrib 18:32. Day 1 lasts 12 hours 33 minutes and the last day 13 hours 10 minutes, with the shortest fast — day 1, 12 hours 33 minutes — in between. 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 Abu Dhabi?

On the Jafari fiqh convention used alongside this calendar, Sehri is taken 10 minutes before Fajr as a precaution and Iftar is taken 12 minutes after Maghrib. Day 1 in Abu Dhabi: Sehri 05:33, Iftar 18:28; day 30: Sehri 05:12, Iftar 18:44. Treat the Jafari times as the precautionary practice they are labelled as, and follow your own marja's guidance where it differs.
