Ramadan timetable 2027 in Peshawar: calculated times
In Peshawar, 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 05:18 and 18:03.
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin in Peshawar on Monday 8 February. On that first day, imsak is at 05:31 and iftar at 17:50, so residents of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa capital fast for 12 hours 20 minutes.
| Day | Imsak | Fajr | Sunrise | Iftar (maghrib) | Isha | Fasting time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 – Mon 8 Feb | 05:31 | 05:41 | 07:06 | 17:50 | 19:10 | 12 h 20 |
| Day 15 – Mon 22 Feb | 05:18 | 05:28 | 06:51 | 18:03 | 19:22 | 12 h 46 |
| Day 29 – Mon 8 Mar | 05:01 | 05:11 | 06:34 | 18:15 | 19:34 | 13 h 14 |

Moon sighting: a Peshawar particularity
Officially, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee announces Ramadan and Eid for all of Pakistan. In some past years, however, a local gathering at Peshawar’s Masjid Qasim Ali Khan declared the new month a day earlier, so announcements are watched closely.
For 2027, the expected first fast is Monday 8 February, with tarawih from Sunday evening, though Tuesday 9 February remains possible. Shab-e-Qadr is expected on Friday night, 5 March, and Eid ul-Fitr on 9 or 10 March, depending on the Shawwal crescent.
First-day sehri and iftar in Peshawar
On Monday 8 February, imsak falls at 05:31 and fajr at 05:41, with sunrise at 07:06. Iftar at maghrib is 17:50 and isha 19:10. The ten minutes before fajr are a precaution, not the fast’s formal start.
Fifty-four minutes longer by the 29th day
Peshawar, at 34 degrees north, has one of the steepest increases among Pakistani cities: 12 h 20 min on day 1, 12 h 46 min on 22 February and 13 h 14 min on 8 March, a gain of 54 minutes.
Iftar moves from 17:50 to 18:03 and 18:15, while imsak advances to 05:18 at mid-month and 05:01 at the end. Sehri therefore needs to be eaten half an hour earlier in the final week than on day 1.
Western longitude and calculation angles
Peshawar lies west of Islamabad, so on Pakistan Standard Time its sunset is five minutes later: 17:50 against 17:45 on the first day. The calculation applies the Muslim World League angles, 18 degrees for fajr and 17 for isha.
Mosque calendars in Peshawar may use the Karachi method or local adjustments, and differences of a few minutes, especially at isha, are common. Following the call of the nearest mosque is the usual practice in the city.
Qissa Khwani, chapli kebab and Peshawari iftar
Peshawar’s iftar culture is famously generous. Chapli kebabs sizzle on large pans, Namak Mandi is known for lamb karahi and tikka, and the old Qissa Khwani Bazaar fills with shoppers after sunset, especially as Eid approaches.
Dates, pakoras and fruit chaat open the meal, often with green kahwa tea afterwards. The Mughal-era Mahabat Khan Mosque in the old city is one of Peshawar’s best-known places of prayer for tarawih during the month.
Cool, rainy late winter
February in Peshawar is cool, with cold nights, mild afternoons and periods of winter rain; warmth arrives in March. Sehri in unheated homes can be chilly, so hot tea, soup or warm milk are welcome before fajr.
Practical tips for Peshawar
Students at the University of Peshawar, traders in the old city bazaars and travellers heading towards the Khyber Pass can make Ramadan 2027 easier by planning around the cool dawns and steadily lengthening days of fasting:
- Wrap up warmly for sehri and tarawih
- Pair kebabs with salad and yoghurt for balance
- Visit Qissa Khwani after tarawih for calmer shopping
- Allow extra time for rain-slowed traffic
What time is iftar in Peshawar on 22 February?
On Monday 22 February 2027, the fifteenth day, iftar is at 18:03 in Peshawar, thirteen minutes later than on day 1. Imsak that morning is 05:18 and fajr 05:28, for a fast of 12 h 46 min.
Could Peshawar start Ramadan on a different day?
The official date for all of Pakistan is set by the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee. Local announcements have sometimes differed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, so residents should follow the decision adopted by their own mosque and community for 2027.
When is the last sehri in Peshawar?
On the expected 29th day, Monday 8 March, sehri ends at imsak, 05:01, with fajr at 05:11 and sunrise at 06:34. Iftar that evening is 18:15, after a fast of 13 h 14 min, the longest of the month.
