In Fort Worth, Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027, with the first tarawih prayer on the Sunday evening, subject to the sighting of the crescent. On day 1, imsak is at 05:45 and iftar at 18:08, so the fast lasts 12 h 23. By Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak has moved to 05:33 and iftar to 18:21, for a fast of 12 h 48. On Monday 8 March, day 29, imsak falls at 05:17, iftar at 18:32 and the fast reaches 13 h 15.
What the timetable shows in Fort Worth from imsak to isha
Reading across, each day lists imsak, then fajr, sunrise, iftar and finally isha. For Fort Worth, day 1 gives fajr at 05:55, sunrise at 07:19 and isha at 19:27, while day 29 gives fajr at 05:27, sunrise at 06:49 and isha at 19:49. Over the month, the fast here gains 52 minutes: 28 because imsak comes earlier and 24 because iftar comes later.
How Fort Worth compares with New York
Fort Worth keeps Central Time while New York runs one hour ahead, so comparing the hours on the clock would mislead and only the duration of the fast is a fair yardstick. On day 1, the fast lasts 12 h 23 in Fort Worth against 12 h 06 in New York, which is 17 minutes longer than in New York. On day 15 it is 12 h 48 against 12 h 40, 8 minutes longer than in New York, and on day 29 it is 13 h 15 against 13 h 17, 2 minutes shorter than in New York.
Between day 1 and day 29 the fast grows by 52 minutes in Fort Worth and by 71 minutes in New York. Fort Worth lies at about 33 degrees north, well south of New York, so the fast starts longer in February and ends the month a couple of minutes shorter than in the northern city.
Why check the mosque calendar in Fort Worth
The Muslim World League method sits behind these figures, measuring fajr at 18 degrees and isha at 17 degrees, with imsak coming ten minutes before fajr. Some Texan mosques publish other angles or a cushion of a few minutes, and across the country the choice is split between a calculated calendar and the sighting of the new moon in the community itself. Fort Worth forms one large metropolitan area with Dallas, and mosques on either side of that area may announce slightly different decisions, so follow the one you pray in.
Fort Worth during the fasting month
Fort Worth stands on the Trinity River in north Texas, at the western end of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and is still known as Cowtown because of its historic stockyards. Winters are mild but changeable: sunny afternoons in the 60s Fahrenheit can be followed by a cold front, a freeze or even an ice storm within a day. Spring storms and strong winds start to appear around the end of the month.
Work, school and the car in Fort Worth
Distances in Fort Worth and its neighbours Arlington and Dallas are long, and nearly every trip is by car, so commutes eat into the hour before sunset. Many people work at the airport, the aviation and defence plants, the hospitals or the university campuses, including Texas Christian University. Tell your team that you will leave on time on fasting days, and keep a change of clothes in the car for the sudden temperature swings.
Iftar and community life
Iftar is usually a family meal at home, with dates, soup and a main dish prepared by turns, while larger gatherings are held at the mosques of the metroplex on weekends. Texas barbecue is not part of the usual iftar table, but grilled meat and rice are common at community dinners. After tarawih, the cool night air makes a short walk pleasant, provided a cold front has not arrived.
None of these dates is guaranteed, because they depend on the crescent. In Fort Worth, the first fast should be on Monday 8 February 2027, the 27th night should begin on the evening of Friday 5 March, and Eid al-Fitr should fall on Tuesday 9 March if the month has 29 days, or on Wednesday 10 March otherwise. Texas stays on standard time all through Ramadan until the clocks move forward on Sunday 14 March, which is after Eid. A few simple habits help:
- Check the forecast for freezes and storms
- Keep a coat in the car
- Plan the evening drive before sunset
- Share iftar duties with neighbours by turns
Which calendar and which routine should you follow in Fort Worth?
The calendar to follow in Fort Worth is the one used by the mosque where you pray, because it gives the community a common start and a common Eid. The timetable is a calculated aid for planning, with a fast of 12 h 23 on day 1 and 13 h 15 on day 29. When the mosque you attend starts on a different day or follows other angles, simply move each time by the same gap.
How long is the fast in the middle of Ramadan in Fort Worth?
On Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak is at 05:33 and iftar at 18:21, so the fast lasts 12 h 48 in Fort Worth, a little more than at the start and a little less than at the end. Fajr is at 05:43, sunrise at 07:05 and isha at 19:38. As the weeks go by, organise your suhoor and your late-evening rest around a fast that long.
Is Eid al-Fitr a day off in Fort Worth and how do you manage work or school?
In Fort Worth, Eid al-Fitr is not a federal holiday and school districts do not close for it, so families usually request an excused absence or a personal day. Parents can write to the school office in advance. Workers on shifts at the airport or in the hospitals should ask for the morning of Eid, since the prayer is held shortly after sunrise.
