The Lakemba Mosque (Masjid Ali Bin Abi Talib) is one of the largest in Australia. As a Southern Hemisphere city, Sydney’s seasons are opposite to the Northern Hemisphere — meaning the longest fasting days during Ramadan fall in November through February (Australian summer), and the shortest fasting hours occur in June-July.
