Ramadan 2028 (1449 AH)

Ramadan 2028 (1449 AH) begins Četvrtak, 27. Januar 2028 and lasts 30 days through Petak, 25. Februar 2028. There are 702 days until Ramadan 2028 starts. In 2028, Ramadan falls in zima. Winter brings the shortest fasting times at high latitudes — often only 8-12 hours. Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, is expected on Subota, 26. Februar 2028.

Fasting times worldwide — from Januar to Februar

Fasting times vary significantly depending on latitude and season. Cities near the equator typically fast 12-13 hours, while cities at high latitudes can experience anything from 8 to 19+ hours. The first day of Ramadan 2028 (27/01) has the shortest fast in Longyearbyen at 5 sati i 43 minuta, while Grytviken has the longest fast at 18 sati i 15 minuta. The last day (25/02) shrinks the fast: Longyearbyen fasts for 11 sati i 13 minuta and Grytviken for 16 sati i 8 minuta.

During Ramadan's 30 days, the fasting time shrinks by up to 2 sati i 7 minuta in cities at the highest latitudes. It is therefore important to follow the daily times and not just use the same time all month. Praay.org calculates the times for each individual day based on your city's exact coordinates.

Ramadan 2028 in Copenhagen

In Copenhagen, the fast begins on the first day at 11:49 (Fajr) and is broken at 23:06 (Maghrib) — a fasting duration of 11t 17m. In the middle of Ramadan (day 15), Fajr is at 11:36 and Maghrib at 23:25 (11t 49m). The last day of fasting is from 11:15 to 23:45 — a total of 12t 30m. See the complete Ramadan calendar for Copenhagen with all 30 days.

Suhoor, Imsak and Iftar — important times

During Ramadan there are three important daily times: Suhoor is the meal eaten before the fast begins — it is recommended to eat as late as possible before Fajr. Imsak is a precautionary margin approx. 10 minutes before Fajr, when one should stop eating and drinking. Iftar is the time the fast is broken at Maghrib (sunset) — it is Sunnah to break the fast with dates and water. All these times vary daily and are calculated specifically for your city on Praay.org.

Taraweeh and Night Prayer

During Ramadan, Taraweeh (the night prayer) is an important part of ibadah. Taraweeh is prayed after the Isha prayer and typically consists of 8 or 20 raka'at depending on tradition. In countries at high latitudes, where Isha can fall late in summer, it can be challenging to attend Taraweeh — see Isha times for your city to plan. Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Destiny) is sought in the last 10 nights of Ramadan, typically the odd nights (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th night).

Calculation methods for high latitudes

Cities at high latitudes present special astronomical challenges for prayer time calculation. Praay.org uses the recognized praytimes.org algorithm with angle-based adjustments for high latitudes. You can choose between three calculation methods: Shia (Ja'fari) based on Leva Research Institute in Qom, Shafii/Maliki/Hanbali based on Muslim World League, and Hanafi which differs in the Asr calculation.

Zakat al-Fitr and Eid preparations

Before Ramadan ends, Zakat al-Fitr must be paid — an obligatory charity equivalent to the value of one meal per person in the household. The amount is typically set by local mosques and Islamic organizations. Zakat al-Fitr must be paid before the Eid al-Fitr prayer, which is expected on Subota, 26. Februar 2028. Begin preparations in the last days of Ramadan so your donation arrives in time.
