Dallas Ramadan 2027: imsak, iftar and isha times for the month
Start with the extremes. Dallas begins on Monday 8 February 2027 with imsak at 05:43 and iftar at 18:06, which makes a fast of 12 hours 23 minutes. It ends on Monday 8 March with imsak at 05:15, iftar at 18:30 and a fast of 13 hours 15 minutes. That is 52 minutes of lengthening, 28 on the morning side and 24 on the evening side.
What the middle day looks like
On Monday 22 February imsak is at 05:31 and iftar at 18:19. The fast therefore lasts 12 hours 48 minutes. The first fortnight shifts dawn by 12 minutes and sunset by 13; the second shifts dawn by 16 and sunset by 11, so the early alarm becomes the bigger adjustment as the month goes on.
From fajr to isha
Fajr is at 05:53 on day 1 and 05:25 on day 29, sunrise at 07:17 and 06:47. Isha is at 19:25, then 19:47. Dallas therefore has 79 minutes between iftar and isha on the first evening and 77 on the last, a window that fits a meal, a short rest and the walk to tarawih.
The method behind these numbers is that of the Muslim World League, with fajr at 18 degrees, isha at 17 degrees and imsak 10 minutes before fajr. Mosques around the Metroplex may follow other angles, and their own printed calendars take priority for the actual fast.
Dallas and New York
Time zones differ, so durations tell the story. New York's day 1 fast of 12 hours 6 minutes is 17 minutes shorter than Dallas's. On day 29 New York reaches 13 hours 17 minutes, 2 minutes more than Dallas, since its days lengthen faster.
Because Dallas sits well inland, there is no sea horizon to confuse the reading of the sunset: the sun drops behind the flat prairie skyline. For the dawn, the pre-dawn glow appears in the east, where fajr is calculated to begin at 05:53 on the first morning, ten minutes after imsak.
Fasting in North Texas
Dallas keeps Central Time, with standard time lasting until 14 March 2027. In the first days sunrise is as late as 07:17, so the whole pre-dawn meal takes place in complete darkness.
Prairie, the Trinity River and sudden cold fronts
The city rises from the blackland prairie of North Texas, along the Trinity River, and is joined to Fort Worth in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Winter can swing quickly: a mild afternoon may be followed by a cold front, a hard freeze or even an ice storm. February deserves a careful look at the weather forecast every evening.
Suburbs, offices and the iftar drive
Much of the Muslim community lives in suburbs such as Richardson, Plano, Irving and Garland, and works in offices across the metropolitan area. Long commutes by highway or the DART light rail are normal, so a packed bag with dates and a bottle of water is wise.
Large shared meals at community centres are a feature of weekends, and families often alternate hosting. If ice is forecast, a quieter iftar at home is the safer choice.
Key dates and a checklist for Dallas
Dallas expects the first tarawih on the evening of Sunday 7 February and the first fast on Monday 8 February 2027, pending the sighting of the crescent. Friday 5 March, from sunset, is the expected 27th night. Eid al-Fitr is projected for Tuesday 9 March after 29 days, or Wednesday 10 March after 30.
On the weekend, large mosques in the northern suburbs can host hundreds of people. Arrive early, bring a prayer mat, and park with the exit in mind, because leaving after the late prayers can take longer than the prayer itself. Family dinners at home remain a quieter alternative during icy weather, and a Metroplex family can alternate between suburbs from week to week to share the driving.
- Watch the forecast for ice before driving to dawn prayers
- Put dates and water in the car for the afternoon commute
- Carry a coat even when the afternoon is mild, since fronts arrive at night
- Plan the route to the mosque on the 27th night to avoid crowded junctions
How do Dallas mosques decide the start of Ramadan?
Practice differs across the Metroplex. A number of mosques use a calculated calendar, others look for the crescent or follow a decision made elsewhere. Treat 8 February as the expected start and wait for the announcement of the congregation you belong to.
How long does the fast last on the fifteenth day in Dallas?
On Monday 22 February the fast stretches over 12 hours 48 minutes, between 05:31 and 18:19. It is 25 minutes longer than the opening day and 27 minutes shorter than the final one.
Is Eid al-Fitr a holiday in Dallas?
It is not a federal holiday, so schools and most employers carry on as usual. Ask early for Tuesday 9 March or Wednesday 10 March, because the day depends on the moon, and ask for the second day as a precaution if you can.
For workers in Dallas offices and students on campuses around the Metroplex, planning is easier with a written note to supervisors. Mention the lengths of 12 hours 23 minutes on day 1 and 13 hours 15 minutes on day 29, propose a lighter schedule late in the afternoon, and request Eid leave early, since the date may only be confirmed the evening before.
