Last Ten Nights & Laylatul Qadr

Around 27 Feb - 8 Mar 2027

The last ten nights of Ramadan 2027 are expected to begin around Saturday 27 February 2027. Many Muslims focus their worship and giving on the odd nights, with the 27th night - expected around Saturday 6 March 2027 - widely anticipated as Laylatul Qadr. The exact night is known only to Allah, so it is worth staying consistent across all of the last ten nights.

Ramadan is still months away. Leave your email and we will remind you shortly before it begins, along with a free guide to working out your zakat early.

Prepare Early

Give Before Ramadan Arrives

Many people plan their giving before Ramadan begins, rather than leaving it to the last ten nights. If you are ready to give now, Sadaqah Jariyah - ongoing charity - is worth considering. A water well is a clear example: it is built once, and it goes on serving a community every day for years. Choose your amount below.

How to Prepare for Ramadan 2027

With Ramadan 2027 UK dates expected in early-to-mid February, a little preparation now goes a long way.

Spiritual preparation

Use the weeks before Ramadan to build good habits early - reading Qur'an, catching up on any missed fasts from last year, and setting realistic goals for prayer and reflection so Ramadan itself feels less like a standing start.

Calculate your zakat early

Many Muslims choose to pay Zakat during Ramadan for the extra reward, but you do not need to wait until the last minute to work out what you owe. Use our Zakat Calculator now, so your giving is ready before Ramadan begins.

Plan your giving for the last ten nights

Decide in advance how you will spread your Sadaqah across the last ten nights, rather than leaving it all to a single night you might be too tired, too busy, or asleep to act on.

Why It Matters

Why Give Early in Ramadan?

Dates and an iftar table, prepared for breaking the fast

Needs on the ground do not wait for the last ten nights. Families need food, water and support throughout Ramadan, not only in the final rush before Eid.

Giving early, or setting up an automated or split donation across the month, means your Sadaqah keeps flowing even on nights when you are busy, travelling, or asleep - so you are never left relying on catching the exact night of Laylatul Qadr to give.

Sadaqah Jariyah

Keep Water Flowing in Gaza This Ramadan

Our desalination plant in Gaza runs every single day of the year - including every day of Ramadan. It takes contaminated water and turns it into safe drinking water for families who have little else. A gift towards this appeal is a form of Sadaqah Jariyah, ongoing charity, and during Ramadan even a small monthly or split donation can help keep clean water flowing through every fast, right up to Eid.

Questions

Ramadan 2027 FAQs

When does Ramadan 2027 start in the UK?

In the UK, Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on the evening of Sunday 7 February 2027, with the first fast on Monday 8 February 2027. Ramadan 2027 UK dates are confirmed locally by moon sighting announcements closer to the time, so it is worth checking with your local mosque or a UK moon-sighting body nearer the start of February.

How are Ramadan dates decided?

The Islamic calendar is lunar, so each month begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon. Because sighting can vary by location and weather conditions, different communities and countries sometimes announce the start of Ramadan a day apart. This is why Ramadan 2027 dates are always given as an expected date or a short range until confirmed.

When is Zakat due?

Zakat becomes due once your wealth has remained above the nisab threshold for one full lunar year, known as a Hawl. Because this is measured from the date your wealth first reached nisab, your personal Zakat due date can fall at any point in the year - it does not have to be during Ramadan, though many people choose to pay it then for the extra reward.

What is Fidya?

Fidya is a payment made on behalf of someone who is unable to fast and is not expected to be able to make up the missed days later, for example due to a long-term illness or old age. It typically involves providing a meal, or its equivalent value, to a person in need for each day of fasting missed.
