Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Suriname
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sehri and iftar times across 1 city.
How Suriname decides
Practice varies across Suriname: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
Suriname's Muslim community (around 15% of the population, of both Hindustani and Javanese descent) is split between moon-sighting groups, so some residents began fasting a day apart in both years. The majority began Ramadan 1446 on March 1, 2025, and Ramadan 1447 on February 19, 2026.
