The shortest and longest hours of fasting in Ramadan 1445/2024

As Muslims worldwide prepare to embark on the spiritual journey of Ramadan in the year 2024, they will encounter a diverse range of fasting hours, varying greatly based on geographical location and seasonal factors. 

Across the globe, some will experience the challenge of enduring prolonged daylight hours without food or drink, while others will observe comparatively shorter fasting durations.

Regions located farther from the equator typically face longer fasting hours due to extended daylight periods during the summer months.
