Ramadan 2022: Some UAE residents will fast up to 20 minutes more than others; here’s why

Fasting length during the blessed month of Ramadan will shift across the, not set in stone by your area.

Contingent upon where you will be, you could be fasting as long as 20 minutes more than your kindred UAE inhabitants during the heavenly month.

Timings of Imsak – the pre-first light time frame that denotes the start of the quick – and Iftar – which signals its end – rely upon dawn and dusk. In the UAE, sun development fluctuates relying upon whether you are in the eastern or western piece of the country.

Ibrahim Al Jarwan, administrator of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Astronomical Society, as of late reported that the sacred month is probably going to start on Saturday, April 2. It is supposed to keep going for 30 days, with Eid Al Fitr prone to fall on Monday, May 2.

He made sense of how Iftar and Imsak timings would vary in isolated pieces of the country. Khor Fakkan is the easternmost mark of the country. Iftar and Imsak timings here would be around eight minutes in front of the Capital city in Abu Dhabi. In Al Ghuwaifat and Al Sila, which are the westernmost marks of the nation, Iftar and Imsak would be around 12 minutes after the fact than the Capital.

This implies that the fasting length would vary by around 20 minutes between Khor Fakkan and Ghuwaifat.

At the beginning of the sacred month, the day break call for supplication (Fajr) will be given out at 4.48am in Khor Fakkan. In the Capital city in Abu Dhabi, it will be at 4.56am; and in Al Sila and Ghuwaifat, at 5:08am, Al Jarwan said.

In Dubai, the call for Fajr supplication will be given out at 4.51am on April 2.

Fasting hours will increment over the span of the month. In Dubai, the fasting hours on Ramadan 1 would be 13 hours and 48 minutes.

On Ramadan 30, this would have expanded to 14 hours and 33 minutes.
