Sehri and Iftar Timings Calculation for Ramadan 2027 in Birmingham
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Hijri calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (Sawm), prayer, reflection, and community. In Birmingham, daily fasting begins at dawn with the morning Adhan (Fajr) and ends at sunset with the evening call to prayer (Maghrib). The timing when fasting begins is known as Sehri (or Suhoor), while the meal to break the fast is Iftar.
Because Hijri months align with lunar phases, the dates shift by approximately 11 days relative to the Gregorian calendar each year. For 2027 (Hijri 1448), Ramadan is calculated to cover parts of March and April. The exact daily variations are determined by the coordinates of Birmingham (52.4862° N, -1.8904° E) and the official regional calculation standard, the Muslim World League (MWL) method.
Astronomical calculations provide a highly reliable standard for regional timetables. However, traditional scholars emphasize the physical sighting of the crescent moon (Hilal) to declare the beginning and end of the month. As a result, dates might shift by 24 hours depending on regional sighting reports. Users are advised to coordinate local mosque schedules with the astronomical defaults rendered in our table.
