The Quran said it explicitly:
Quote:Sura 2, The Quran:
( 183 ) O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -
( 184 ) [Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew.
Lol, that says NOTHING about the daylight difference. It's not acknowledged at all in the Qur'an because when Muhammad had no idea about it. An almighty God would know, and at the least make his calender set in the spring or fall. Instead of a lunar one, where the season Ramadan is in changes. People who live in Sweden aren't ill or on a journey. Whoever made up this pillar of Islam obviously had no idea about the daylight difference.
