Laylat al-Qadr — the Night of Decree, better than a thousand months — is sought in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan. In Zurich those nights begin at the Maghrib athan on the dates below, since the Islamic day starts at sunset.
| Night | Evening of | Begins at iftar | Until Fajr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21th night | 28 February 2027 | ||
| 23th night | 2 March 2027 | ||
| 25th night | 4 March 2027 | ||
| 27th night | 6 March 2027 | ||
| 29th night | 8 March 2027 |
The 27th night is the most widely observed, but the Sunnah is to seek the night across all ten. See the holy nights guide for how these nights are traditionally kept.
At 47.4° latitude, the length of the fast in Zurich shifts noticeably from the start of Ramadan to the end:
| Measure | Date | Suhoor → iftar | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Longest fast | 8 March 2027 | 05:12 → 18:21 | 13h 09m |
| Shortest fast | 8 February 2027 | 05:58 → 17:38 | 11h 40m |
Because the Hijri calendar runs about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian one, Ramadan moves earlier each year — so the fast in Zurich will be shorter or longer next year for the same reason. For the rules of fasting themselves, see the Ramadan fasting guide.
Iftar can differ by several minutes between cities in Switzerland, so use the timetable for the city you are actually in:
Hatırla İslam counts down to iftar live on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, sends the suhoor and iftar athan as a notification, and keeps the whole Zurich timetable available offline. All of it is free.
Iftar in Zurich is at the Maghrib athan. On the first day of Ramadan 2027 (8 February 2027) that is 17:38; by the final day (8 March 2027) it has moved to 18:21. The full day-by-day list is in the timetable on this page.
Suhoor ends at the Fajr athan — the same moment the Fajr prayer window opens. In Zurich that is 05:58 on the first day of Ramadan 2027 and 05:12 on the last. Many people stop eating five to ten minutes earlier as a precaution.
In Zurich the fast runs from 11h 40m on its shortest day (8 February 2027) to 13h 09m on its longest (8 March 2027). Across the month the fast lengthens by about 1 hour 29 minutes, because the days are getting longer through this part of the year.
Laylat al-Qadr is sought in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan. In 2027 those nights in Zurich fall on 28 February 2027, 2 March 2027, 4 March 2027, 6 March 2027, 8 March 2027. The 27th night is the one most widely observed, but the Sunnah is to seek it across all of the odd nights.
According to this astronomical calendar, Ramadan 2027 in Zurich ends on 8 March 2027, which makes the first day of Eid al-Fitr 9 March 2027. Mosques and national bodies may announce a date one day earlier or later depending on moon sighting, so confirm with your local mosque.
They may differ by a few minutes. This timetable uses the Muslim World League method (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) with the angle-based high-latitude rule, calculated for Zurich's coordinates in Europe/Zurich. Mosques in Switzerland sometimes use a different Fajr or Isha angle, which shifts suhoor and Isha slightly. Iftar (Maghrib) is the moment of sunset and varies far less between methods.
