When Is Laylat al-Qadr 2027?

Seek it in the last ten

“Seek Laylat al-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan” (Sahih al-Bukhari 2017). The 27th night is the most commonly emphasised, on the report of Ubayy ibn Ka‘b (Sahih Muslim 762), but it is not certain.

Projected 2027 dates

Based on a projected Ramadan start of 8 February 2027, the odd nights of the last ten fall on the nights of 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March 2027. Nights begin at Maghrib of the preceding day.

These dates depend entirely on when Ramadan actually begins in your country, which depends on the local moon sighting. Confirm with your mosque.

Use the Laylat al-Qadr Night Calculator to generate the corresponding last-ten-night dates for the Ramadan start date you follow.

Convert nights, not just civil dates

If the first fast is 8 February 2027, each Ramadan night begins at the preceding Maghrib. A date table should therefore state both the Ramadan night number and the civil evening on which it starts.

Local start dates matter

If your community begins Ramadan a day later, every listed odd-night civil date shifts as well. Use the start date followed locally before making travel or mosque plans.

Projected odd-night table

The useful output is not a single “Laylat al-Qadr date” but a list of the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th nights under the Ramadan start date you follow. If the start date changes, regenerate the list.

Why the 27th is highlighted but not guaranteed

Many communities give the 27th night special attention, but authentic evidence still directs Muslims to seek the night across the last ten, especially the odd nights.

Dates depend on the first fast

If Ramadan day 1 is 8 February 2027, each possible night can be mapped from that starting point; if the local first fast is 9 February, every mapped civil date shifts by one day. The page should show the assumption prominently.

Odd nights are a search window

The 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th nights receive special attention in authentic reports, but this does not justify declaring the 27th guaranteed. The last ten nights as a whole remain important.

Night begins at Maghrib

The “27th night” begins on the evening before fasting day 27’s daytime portion. Displaying “begins after Maghrib on…” is less ambiguous than giving only a midnight-based Gregorian date.

Frequently asked questions

Is it always the 27th night?

No. The 27th is the strongest single report, but the Sunnah is to seek it across all the odd nights of the last ten.
