Ramadan 2027 times in Nashville: imsak and iftar from day 1 to day 29
In Nashville, 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 05:05 and iftar at 17:21, so the fast lasts 12 h 16. By Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak has moved to 04:51 and iftar to 17:35, for a fast of 12 h 44. On Monday 8 March, day 29, imsak falls at 04:33, iftar at 17:48 and the fast reaches 13 h 15.
What the timetable shows in Nashville from imsak to isha
All five columns come in the same sequence on every date: imsak, fajr, sunrise, iftar, isha. For Nashville, day 1 gives fajr at 05:15, sunrise at 06:42 and isha at 18:43, while day 29 gives fajr at 04:43, sunrise at 06:08 and isha at 19:09. Between the first and the last of the three days, the fast lengthens by 59 minutes, with imsak providing 32 and iftar 27.
How Nashville compares with New York
Nashville is on Central Time, an hour behind New York, so the clock times are not comparable and the sensible comparison is how long the fast lasts. On day 1, the fast lasts 12 h 16 in Nashville against 12 h 06 in New York, which is 10 minutes longer than in New York. On day 15 it is 12 h 44 against 12 h 40, 4 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 59 minutes in Nashville and by 71 minutes in New York. Nashville lies at about 36 degrees north, south of New York, so the fast starts ten minutes longer but ends the month a couple of minutes shorter than in New York.
Why check the mosque calendar in Nashville
The method is that of the Muslim World League: fajr at 18 degrees, isha at 17 degrees, and imsak ten minutes ahead of fajr. In Tennessee, mosques sometimes publish other angles or leave a margin of a few minutes, and communities either use a calculated calendar or rely on a sighting of the crescent, so calendars may differ. Nashville and the towns around it, including Murfreesboro and Franklin, have several mosques, and each may follow its own calendar, so keep the one you attend as your reference.
Nashville during the fasting month
Nashville is the capital of Tennessee, built on the Cumberland River in the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee, and it is known as Music City. Winters are cool and damp, with February highs often in the 40s or 50s Fahrenheit, frequent rain and an occasional snow or ice day. By March the redbuds and the first warm afternoons appear, so the month moves from winter to early spring.
Music, universities and hospitals in Nashville
The economy of the city rests on health care, music and tourism, higher education at Vanderbilt and other universities, and a growing number of corporate offices. Evening shifts in hospitality and music venues can overlap with sunset, so speak to your manager early. The city's traffic builds on the interstates and bridges, so leave a margin before iftar.
Iftar in Middle Tennessee
Nashville has a large Kurdish community and many families from the Middle East, Somalia, South Asia and Bosnia, so iftar tables are varied, from lentil soup and rice to sweets and tea. Mosques organise shared dinners on weekends. Because evenings can be wet and cool, a hot soup after the dates is welcome, and carpooling to tarawih is common.
Consider each date as a likely one rather than a sure one. In Nashville, 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. Tennessee stays on standard time all month, with the clocks advancing on Sunday 14 March, after Eid. A few simple habits help:
- Bring an umbrella for rainy evenings
- Tell evening-shift managers about sunset breaks
- Carpool to tarawih with neighbours
- Keep soup and dates ready before maghrib
Which calendar and which routine should you follow in Nashville?
The calendar to follow in Nashville 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 16 on day 1 and 13 h 15 on day 29. If your mosque starts on a different date or applies different angles, change each time by the same amount and keep your routine.
How long is the fast in the middle of Ramadan in Nashville?
On Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak is at 04:51 and iftar at 17:35, so the fast lasts 12 h 44 in Nashville, a little more than at the start and a little less than at the end. Fajr is at 05:01, sunrise at 06:27 and isha at 18:56. In the last weeks, let a fast of that length decide when you eat before imsak and how you sleep during the tarawih nights.
Is Eid al-Fitr a day off in Nashville and how do you manage work or school?
Eid al-Fitr is not a federal holiday in Nashville, and Metro schools do not close for it, so ask for an excused absence in advance. Students at the universities can write to their instructors in early February. Hospitality and hospital workers should request the morning of Eid as soon as the schedule is published, since the date will be confirmed only after the crescent is sighted.
