Ramadan is regarded to be the favorite month of observant Muslims who observe Roza.
During this month, Muslims all across the globe refrain from eating and drinking during the day. They are only permitted to consume two meals: one to begin the fast before daybreak and one to terminate it after sundown.
The foremost meal of the day is called sehri or suhoor, while the last meal is called iftar.
During the day, Muslims are urged to pray, study the holy Quran, and reflect on their daily lives. While going without food for the entire day might be physically exhausting, Muslims say Allah grants them the stamina to finish the fast.
The month of Ramadan started on April 2 this year and will finish on May 2 in most regions. Because the moonrise time varies per country, the end date may differ.
There’s a reminder for you that the month of Ramadan has no set date because it advances by nearly a fortnight every year. Only nations far from the center of the Earth see significant changes in the times of dawn and dusk from one season to the next. Countries closer to the equator have more minor discrepancies since fasting times are often the same as daylight hours.
Because of these cyclical fluctuations, Iceland enjoys the world’s longest Ramadan fast. This is because the Nordic island country has the longest days and the shortest nights.
As a result, Muslims in Iceland frequently struggle to preserve Roza.
This year, Muslims in Iceland will fast for about 17 hours, based on the times of dawn and sunset. You’d be astonished to learn that this Ramadan is shorter than many others. Because Ramadan fell in May and June in 2018, Muslims had to fast for 22 hours.
Finland, who fasted for 23 hours and 5 minutes during Ramadan in 2021, is ahead of Iceland.
This year, Iceland has the most extended daytime hours, with Muslims required to fast for 16 hours and 50 minutes.
