Ramadan timetable 2027 in Lahore: calculated times
In Lahore, the Ramadan timetable 2027 consists of two markers, imsak in the morning and iftar in the evening, which frame each day of fasting. In the middle of the month, on 22 February, they are expected at 05:07 and 17:55.
Lahore expects to start Ramadan 2027 on Monday 8 February. The first sehri ends at 05:18, iftar is at 17:43, and the opening fast in the Punjab capital lasts 12 hours 25 minutes, among the shortest in Pakistan.

Ramadan in the walled city of Lahore
Lahore takes Ramadan to heart. In the narrow lanes of the old walled city, sehri drummers still walk some streets before dawn, and the Badshahi Mosque and Wazir Khan Mosque welcome worshippers for tarawih beneath centuries-old Mughal domes and minarets.
Evening tables in Lahore bring pakoras, samosas, fruit chaat, dahi bhallay and jalebis, with Rooh Afza or lassi to drink. For sehri, many Lahoris favour khajla and pheni with sweet milk, alongside buttery parathas and fresh yoghurt.
First-day timings in the Punjab capital
On Monday 8 February, imsak in Lahore is at 05:18, fajr at 05:28 and sunrise at 06:51. The fast ends at maghrib, 17:43, and isha follows at 19:01, leaving a long evening for tarawih and family visits.
The ten-minute gap between imsak and fajr is a cautious margin; sehri may continue until fajr. Lahore’s iftar is the earliest among the large Pakistani cities on this site, tied with Gujranwala at 17:43 on day 1.
Forty-nine extra minutes by March
As the season turns, the fast lengthens from 12 h 25 min on day 1 to 12 h 48 min on 22 February and 13 h 14 min on 8 March. Lahore sits at about 31.5 degrees north, where spring days grow steadily.
Iftar moves from 17:43 to 17:55 and then 18:05, while imsak comes earlier, to 05:07 at mid-month and 04:51 at the end. Sehri therefore shifts by almost half an hour between the first and last days.
Calculation, time zone and local calendars
These times use the Muslim World League method, with 18 degrees at fajr and 17 at isha. Lahore’s mosques often follow calendars based on the Karachi convention or local adjustments, so expect differences of a few minutes, mostly at isha.
Pakistan Standard Time is five hours ahead of GMT for the entire country. Lahore, near the eastern border with India, sees the sun set much earlier on the clock than Karachi, whose first iftar is at 18:21.
The 2027 calendar for Lahore
The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is expected to confirm Monday 8 February 2027 as the first day of Ramadan, unless the moon is not sighted, in which case the fast begins on Tuesday 9 February. Tarawih opens on Sunday evening.
Shab-e-Qadr, marked on the 27th night, should fall on Friday evening 5 March, when mosques across Lahore stay open for prayer. Eid ul-Fitr is expected on Tuesday 9 March, or Wednesday 10 March if Ramadan lasts thirty days.
Foggy mornings and spring sunshine
Early February in Lahore can bring dense morning fog and cold nights, while afternoons turn pleasantly mild; by March the city warms into spring. Drivers on the road before dawn or for early work should allow extra time on foggy routes.
Fasting tips for Lahore
Students at the University of the Punjab, traders in Anarkali and Liberty markets and families in Gulberg or the old city can follow these suggestions to handle Lahore’s cool dawns and steadily lengthening fasts in 2027:
- Leave extra time on foggy mornings
- Balance pakoras with fruit and yoghurt
- Set the sehri alarm around 04:30 early in the month
- Visit busy food streets after tarawih rather than before iftar
What time is iftar in Lahore on the last day?
On the expected 29th day, Monday 8 March 2027, iftar in Lahore is at 18:05 after imsak at 04:51 and fajr at 05:01. The fast that day lasts 13 h 14 min, and isha follows at 19:21.
Do Lahore and Gujranwala share the same timings?
Very nearly. Both break the first fast at 17:43, and Gujranwala’s imsak, at 05:19, is just one minute later than Lahore’s. The two Punjab cities lie close together on the Grand Trunk Road, so their schedules barely diverge.
When should sehri end in Lahore at mid-Ramadan?
On Monday 22 February, the fifteenth fast, imsak is at 05:07 and fajr at 05:17, eleven minutes earlier than on the first morning. Iftar that evening is at 17:55, giving a fast of 12 h 48 min.
