500 people were kidnapped in Niger State, 30 of them were killed by terrorists, while others were forced to bury those who were killed. The news is so suppressed that the majority of Nigerians are not even aware of this. I weep for Nigeria. Human lives mean nothing down here.

In all your prayers, please ask Allah to grant you contentment. Ask Allah to make you at peace with whatever provision He has given you. You’ll never ever taste the sweetness of freedom until you attain the discipline of contentment.

i hope the next global trend is empathy & critical thinking.

Western Africa in general has a rich textile tradition. The noted Arab traveler Ibn Battutah once visited Kano, an ancient trading city in northern Nigeria, where he remarked on the indigo dye pits of Kofor Mata. Six hundred years later, those same pits are being used today.

Every almajiri child you see on the street today is a reflection of policy failure, lack of investment in education, weak social welfare systems, and poor child protection.

When children grow up believing they have no future, they become easy targets for manipulation. If we want security, we must first invest in these children.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.

Ya Allah, we seek Your protection and mercy.

Gaidam LGA in Yobe State is currently under attack by Boko Haram. Ya Rabb, protect the people of Gaidam, keep them safe from harm, grant victory over oppression, and bring peace back to their land.

O Allah, shield the innocent, comfort the fearful, heal the injured, and grant Jannah to those who may have lost their lives. Strengthen the security forces and guide our leaders to make the right decisions.

May Allah bring lasting peace to Yobe State and all of Nigeria. Ameen 🤲🏼😭

When you feel small in your circumstances, unprotected in your battles, or unsure how to grow through what you’re facing, follow along with this du’a:

Ya Rabb, raise me the way You raise every seed from the soil. Shape my growth with all You continue to give. Let every season You place me in become a lesson in Your care.

Ya Mawla, be my protector when I have no one else to stand up for me. Take charge of my affairs when I lose control of them. Hold me near when fear surrounds me, and make Your guardianship always enough for me.

Ya Naseer, help me in every battle I cannot see. Grant me triumph without arrogance, and victory only in a way that brings me closer to You.

Ya Sayyid, teach my heart that true honor is to only serve You. Let my dignity be in humility, my leadership in obedience, and my freedom in surrender.

Ameen.

When you call to Allah in a time of need, do you really know who you’re calling upon? Who is this Creator you are seeking? He is the Most Merciful, The Most Just, The Gentle, The Reckoner. He is Your Lord. Your King. Your Master. And so much more.

When we understand who He is, we call out to Him in earnest with His Magnificent Names, knowing He is there listening, ready to answer.

Welcome to a new life with Allah. This Ramadan, tune in to The Name I Need!

Why Ramadan Fasting Hours Vary Around the World

As Muslims around the world observe the holy month of Ramadan, they fast each day from the appearance of Fajr until sunset. While the obligation is universal, the length of the daily fast varies widely, depending on geography and the time of year.

In some parts of the world, Muslims may fast for more than 20 hours a day, while in others the fast can last little more than 10 hours.

The Longest Fasting Hours

The longest fasting days are experienced in Northern Europe and Arctic regions, where daylight stretches late into the evening during spring and summer.

Cities with some of the longest fasting hours include Tromso, Norway (around 20–22 hours), Reykjavik, Iceland (20–21 hours), Murmansk, Russia (20 hours or more), and Stockholm , Sweden (18–19 hours).

These cities lie at high latitudes, far from the Equator, where daylight hours increase significantly as summer approaches. When Ramadan falls close to the summer solstice, the sun remains visible for much longer periods, extending fasting times.

Because Ramadan follows the Islamic lunar calendar, which is around 10 to 11 days shorter than the solar year, the month shifts earlier annually. This means fasting hours change from year to year.

In extreme cases where the sun barely sets, some Islamic scholars allow Muslims to follow alternative fasting schedules, such as the timetable of Makkah or that of the nearest location with a normal day-night cycle.

The Shortest Fasting Hours

By contrast, Muslims in parts of the Southern Hemisphere experience much shorter fasting days during the same period.

Cities with shorter fasting hours include Ushuaia, Argentina, and Punta Arenas, Chile (both around 10–11 hours), Christchurch , New Zealand (around 11 hours), and Cape Town , South Africa (11–12 hours).

When Ramadan falls in March or April, it coincides with autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, when days are becoming shorter. These regions are also located at moderate latitudes, avoiding the extreme daylight variations of polar areas.

Consistent Fasting Near the Equator

Near the Equator, fasting hours remain relatively stable throughout the year.

Cities such as Abuja, Nigeria, Jakarta, Indonesia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Nairobi, Kenya typically see fasting times of around 12 to 13 hours.

This is because areas close to the Equator experience nearly equal daylight and darkness year-round, with minimal seasonal variation in sunrise and sunset times.

What Determines Fasting Length?

The key factors influencing fasting duration are latitude, season, hemisphere, and the Islamic lunar calendar.

While fasting hours may differ greatly, Ramadan remains a shared spiritual experience for Muslims worldwide, centred on fasting, prayer, charity and reflection regardless of how long the day lasts.
