Ramadan 2027 Plan: Quran, Taraweeh, Fasting and the Last 10 Nights

Ramadan 2027 dates (expected)

These follow the Umm al-Qura calendar and astronomical estimates. Islamic nights begin at sunset, so "the 21st night" is the evening before the 21st fast. Some countries start a day later after their own moon sighting; follow your local announcement.

Before Ramadan: November to February

• ❋Finish a khatmah first. From early November to 7 February is about 98 days. 604 pages ÷ 98 days ≈ 6.2, so about 7 pages a day finishes the Quran before Ramadan, with a few days to spare.
• ❋Practise fasting. Fast Mondays and Thursdays, or the White Days (13th, 14th and 15th of each Hijri month), so the first days of Ramadan are not a shock.
• ❋Owe fasts from last Ramadan? Plan them now, before this one begins.
• ❋Fix your sleep. Suhoor and taraweeh change your nights. An earlier bedtime from January makes the switch easier.

Quran in Ramadan: the numbers

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ

"The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people…"

Pick the pace you can keep on a tired day, not the one that looks best on day one. More in Khatmah Tracker: Plan to Finish the Quran.

Taraweeh

مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ

"Whoever establishes prayers during the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, all his past sins will be forgiven."

• ❋Decide where you will pray it: the mosque, or at home with family.
• ❋Whether your mosque prays 8 or 20 rak'ahs, track the nights you prayed it, not the number. Consistency over thirty nights matters more than one long night.
• ❋If you pray at home, read from the pages of your khatmah and both habits move together.

Fasting

مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ

"Whoever observes fasts during the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven."

• ❋Tick each fast as you complete it, so the days you have to make up later are clear.
• ❋The fast runs from Fajr to Maghrib, so the Fajr and Maghrib times on your prayer screen are your suhoor and iftar times.
• ❋Add one deed for people: feeding a fasting person, even a few dates, is easy to keep every day.

The last ten nights and Laylat al-Qadr

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

"The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months."

تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْوِتْرِ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ

"Search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan."

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ شَدَّ مِئْزَرَهُ، وَأَحْيَا لَيْلَهُ، وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ

"With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet ﷺ used to tighten his waist belt, and used to pray all the night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers." (narrated by Aisha)

• ❋Plan the odd nights now. If Ramadan starts on 8 February, the odd nights begin on the evenings of 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March.
• ❋Add a night prayer habit for the last ten nights, even two rak'ahs before suhoor.
• ❋Give a little sadaqah every night, so you do not miss Laylat al-Qadr by picking the wrong night.
• ❋Learn the du'a Aisha was taught for this night:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ كَرِيمٌ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

"O Allah, indeed You are Pardoning, [Generous,] You love pardon, so pardon me."
