Ramadan 1448
Ramadan in Pueblo
Ramadan is expected to begin Monday, February 8, 2027, with the first night of taraweeh prayers on the evening of Sunday, February 7. Here is every day’s fasting time for Pueblo, and what to know before the month arrives.
Until the first night of Ramadan
By the Fiqh Council of North America calendar. A masjid that follows local moon sighting may begin a day later; confirm with the masjid the week before.
What Ramadan is
A month of fasting, prayer, Quran, and generosity.
For 29 or 30 days, Muslims who are able fast from the first light of dawn until sunset: no food, drink, or intimacy during daylight, and extra care with words and conduct. Nights fill with the taraweeh prayer, and the month is spent close to the Quran, which was first revealed in it.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil);

The month, in order
What happens when
The night before: the first taraweeh
The Islamic day begins at sunset, so Ramadan’s first night comes before its first fast. The masjid holds taraweeh, extra night prayers after Isha, through the month; ask it for the schedule.
Each morning: suhoor
A meal before dawn. Eat and drink before Fajr; the Prophet encouraged it, and Pueblo’s dry air makes water at suhoor matter more than you would expect.
Each evening: iftar
Break the fast at Maghrib, traditionally with dates and water, then pray. Community iftars are one of the best ways to meet people; ask at the masjid.
The last ten nights
The most devoted part of the month, when Muslims seek Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Power, with extra prayer and Quran.
Before Eid: zakat al-fitr
A small required charity for every member of the household, given before the Eid prayer so that everyone can celebrate. Give it through the masjid; Pueblo Islam does not collect it.
Eid al-Fitr
Expected on Tuesday, March 9, 2027, with the Eid prayer in the morning. Confirm the date and the prayer time with the masjid.
For new Muslims
Your first Ramadan
It is hard, beautiful, and different from anything you have done. You do not need to be perfect at it. You need to begin it sincerely, and not alone.
- Know if you are exempt. Travelers, the sick, the elderly who cannot fast, women who are pregnant, nursing, menstruating, or bleeding after childbirth may skip fasting and make it up later or feed a poor person instead, depending on the case. Ask if unsure.
- Practice first. A voluntary fast or two in the weeks before makes the first day of Ramadan much easier.
- Go to one community iftar. It is the easiest way to meet people, and nobody will ask why you are there.
- Pace the nights. Taraweeh is recommended, not required. Pray what you can and build up.
- If you slip, keep going. Eating or drinking because you forgot you were fasting does not break the fast. A missed day is made up later. The month is still yours.
- Tell someone it is your first. Write to us, and where a volunteer is available, someone will check in.
For neighbors, teachers, and employers
If someone you know is fasting
A little understanding goes a long way. You do not need to change much, and you certainly do not need to stop eating around anyone.
- Energy can dip in the afternoon, especially in the first days.
- Avoid scheduling lunch meetings as the only way to meet, if you can.
- A flexible break near sunset lets someone break their fast on time.
- Students may need a quiet space for prayer and a fair plan for exams and sports.
- “Ramadan Mubarak,” blessed Ramadan, is a warm thing to say.
Curious about it yourself?
Many people’s first real conversation about Islam happens over an iftar. If you would like to understand the month better, ask anything.
