Iceland became the country with the longest fasting time in 2018.

Because of its position at the northern end of the earth, the fasting time in Iceland is known to reach 20 hours and 13 minutes. It is known to occur due to the axis of the Earth's rotation axis around the sun.

Therefore a number of countries in the northern hemisphere, especially countries that have winter in certain months will receive sunlight longer than in the south. Vice versa.

Technically, Muslims in Iceland only have about 4 hours to break the fast, pray tarawih and dawn. Another case with Indonesia which has a long time of fasting for 13 hours and 12 minutes per day.

Umat Muslim di seluruh dunia telah merayakan puasa hari ini. Namun untuk durasi lama puasa, negara ini adalah yang paling lama.

Islandia menjadi negara dengan waktu puasa terlama di tahun 2018.

Karena posisinya yang berada di ujung Utara bumi, waktu puasa di Islandia diketahui mencapai 20 jam dan 13 menit. Hal itu diketahui terjadi karena kemiringan sumbu rotasi bumi dalam mengitari matahari.

Oleh sebab itu sejumlah negara di belahan bumi utara, khususnya negara yang memiliki musim dingin pada bulan-bulan tertentu akan menerima cahaya matahari lebih lama dari yang di selatan. Begitu juga sebaliknya.

Secara teknis, umat Muslim di Islandia hanya memiliki waktu sekitar 4 jam untuk untuk buka puasa, salat tarawih dan sahur. Lain halnya dengan Indonesia yang memiliki lama waktu puasa selama 13 jam dan 12 menit per harinya.
