Muslims across the globe are set to welcome the holy month of Ramadan in less than a week, as the blessed period will likely start coming Monday (March 12).<\/p>\n

Over a billion believers will fast during the daylight hours of Ramadan. <\/p>\n

As per The National News<\/i>, every year the holy month begins about two weeks earlier. This year, Ramadan will move closer to shorter and cooler days in half of the world. However, the fasting hours will vary across different countries and regions, ranging from 12 to more than 17 hours. <\/p>\n

Countries to have shortest fasts<\/b><\/h2>\n

Muslims in Chile, which lies in the southern hemisphere, will have an average of 12 hours and 44 minutes long fasts this Ramadan, which makes up the shortest fasting hours, the publication stated. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Muslims in other countries in the region \u2014 New Zealand, Argentina, and South Africa \u2014 will also have 12-13 hours of fasting a day during the month.<\/p>\n

Countries to have longest fasts<\/b><\/h2>\n

Muslims in Finland, Greenland, and Iceland, which lie the farthest from the equator, are expected to endure an average of 17 hours of fasting every day.<\/p>\n

However, one may wonder how people in places where it never gets dark fast. Currently, there is no place in the world to expect a midnight sun this Ramadan, but some areas will have exceptionally long daytime during the holy month.<\/p>\n

Since enduring a fast for an oddly long duration is neither possible nor required, Muslims in such areas are allowed to follow the schedules of other cities, for example, Makkah, Saudi Arabia.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fasting hours in Saudi Arabia and much of the Middle East will range from 13.5 hours to 14 hours a day.<\/p>\n

Among the Arab countries, Tunisians will experience the longest fast 14 hours and 29 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
