Oklahoma City: Ramadan timetable 2027, Imsak and Iftar times

Ramadan 2027 times in Oklahoma City: imsak and iftar from day 1 to day 29

In Oklahoma City, 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 05:48 and iftar at 18:05, so the fast lasts 12 h 17. By Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak has moved to 05:34 and iftar to 18:19, for a fast of 12 h 45. On Monday 8 March, day 29, imsak falls at 05:16, iftar at 18:32 and the fast reaches 13 h 16.

What the timetable shows in Oklahoma City from imsak to isha

Within the table, every day lists imsak, fajr, sunrise, iftar and isha from the first column to the last. For Oklahoma City, day 1 gives fajr at 05:58, sunrise at 07:24 and isha at 19:26, while day 29 gives fajr at 05:26, sunrise at 06:51 and isha at 19:51. From day 1 to day 29, the fast grows by 59 minutes, 32 of them from an earlier imsak and 27 from a later iftar.

How Oklahoma City compares with New York

Oklahoma City keeps Central Time, one hour behind New York, so the clocks cannot be compared and only the duration of the fast tells you anything. On day 1, the fast lasts 12 h 17 in Oklahoma City against 12 h 06 in New York, which is 11 minutes longer than in New York. On day 15 it is 12 h 45 against 12 h 40, 5 minutes longer than in New York, and on day 29 it is 13 h 16 against 13 h 17, 1 minute shorter than in New York.

Between day 1 and day 29 the fast grows by 59 minutes in Oklahoma City and by 71 minutes in New York. Oklahoma City lies at about 35.5 degrees north, well south of New York, so the fast starts a little longer in February and reaches nearly the same level at the end.

Why check the mosque calendar in Oklahoma City

Fajr is calculated at 18 degrees and isha at 17 degrees, following the Muslim World League method, and imsak sits ten minutes before fajr. Oklahoma mosques may use other angles or a few minutes of caution, and a community can follow a calculated calendar or its own sighting of the new moon, so their printed times sometimes differ. The metropolitan area of Oklahoma City is large, with Norman and Edmond on either side, and mosques may differ on calendar choices, so use the one you attend.

Oklahoma City during the fasting month

Oklahoma City is the capital of Oklahoma, on the southern plains, along the North Canadian River, which locals often call the Oklahoma River in the city centre. It is a wide, flat city with big skies and strong winds. Winters are mild but changeable, with highs from the 40s to the 60s Fahrenheit and occasional ice, while storm season begins with the arrival of spring, so check the forecast each day.

A wide city and a long commute in Oklahoma City

State government, oil and gas, aviation, health care and the University of Oklahoma at nearby Norman provide many jobs. Everything is far apart and people drive, so a delay on the highways can easily turn a commute into a race against sunset. Store dates and a bottle of water in the glovebox, and ask your employer about leaving a little earlier on fasting days if the schedule allows.

Iftar and neighbourly dinners

Community dinners at the mosques bring together families from Pakistan, Palestine, Somalia, Nigeria and many other places, and food is often shared potluck style. Dates, soup and water come first, then rice, grilled meat or stew after the prayer. When severe weather is announced, mosques sometimes adjust the evening, so check messages from your community before leaving home.

Every date remains an expectation until the moon is seen. In Oklahoma City, 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. The clocks in Oklahoma stay on standard time during the fasting month and only advance on Sunday 14 March, once Eid is behind us. A few simple habits help:

• Watch severe weather alerts in the evening
• Store dates and a bottle of water in the glovebox
• Leave work early for the highway
• Bring a dish to potluck iftars

Which calendar and which routine should you follow in Oklahoma City?

The calendar to follow in Oklahoma City 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 17 on day 1 and 13 h 16 on day 29. When the mosque you attend starts on another day or uses different angles, add the same difference to every time and carry on.

How long is the fast in the middle of Ramadan in Oklahoma City?

On Monday 22 February, day 15, imsak is at 05:34 and iftar at 18:19, so the fast lasts 12 h 45 in Oklahoma City, a little more than at the start and a little less than at the end. Fajr is at 05:44, sunrise at 07:09 and isha at 19:39. From the middle of the month, build your meals and your sleep around the tarawih nights so that they suit this length of fast.

Is Eid al-Fitr a day off in Oklahoma City and how do you manage work or school?

In Oklahoma City, Eid al-Fitr is not a federal holiday and schools do not close for it. Families usually request an excused absence, and workers use a personal day or paid leave. Because the prayer is held in the morning, it is better to inform your manager or the school in February than to wait until the week of Eid, when the exact date is confirmed.
