Stockholm and Anchorage Alaska are same Latitude 61 degree latitude north which means in the summer time the sun goes down about 10-pm and comes back 2:am.

In northern sweden many cities the sun is up 24 hours in Juni and first half of july.. and from july 20 the city of Kiruna which i was to live sun goes down 11:20 PM and comes Back 12:40 Am which means you have only ONE HOUR to eat and again start over your fasting..

Here in stockholm is getting better now you have about 4 and half hours to eat afuur. casho saxuur and pray maqrib. ishaa and taraawiix. its very diffucult . you have 4 and half hours . myself i often eat eat and eat pray at home no taraawiiix for me. but its getting better everyday because the sun goes down 3 minutes day before and same comes up 3 later day before. my brother lives north sweden city called Luleå there the sun goes down 10.20 pm and comes back 1:40am which means you have only 3 and half hours to eat and pray.
coming years ramadaans will be even worst. if ramadaan come in june MONTH then many cities in north in that time have practicly 24 hours sun light. the sun never goes down.... not many people know that there are lands on this planet that couple month of the years the sun is up 24 hours!!!!

Here in the west coast we break our fast around 7:40. in seattle they don't 'till 9. midwest not 'till close to 8. East coast probably 8 or after N that's just the USA . it's all diff. we fast for about 16 hours.

22 hours? do you have to fast all the hours? that is like 24 hours?

God bless you guys, may Allah make it easy for you. but i believe that you should shorted it to the level of the next country.

For me, its 18 hrs soft tingz

It is impossible to fast in most northern parts of the globe in the summer and winter too. You cannot fast 24 hours neither can you fast zero hours? Maybe those people are exempted from fasting.

waryaa, not exempted! lol. just level it with the next country.

daiman, i didn't know that!

This is my best ramadan by faaaaaaaaaaaar

Doesn't matter for me, I don't eat suxuur anyway, so its 24 hours between food anyway. Here in N America theres only 8 hours You can eat, between 8:30pm-4:30am and You're sleeping most of that time. Its just afur, and then no food until afur the next day
