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.
How?
I think fasting for 20 hours or so is the exact example of "hardship".
And the verse even said "So whoever among you is ill or on a journey".
And a small cultural lesson; ancient Arabs traveled all year long, and literally lived most of their days on the road.
Nomadic lives, sure. Having a woman not eat or hydrate for some cockamamie reason like religion, causing harm to the child developing in her womb is inexcusable, anywhere on the planet. Or the universe, for that matter. How about your religion takes a fetus into account as "being on a journey", and allows women the "latitude" to properly nourish her baby. Do you have any understanding as to how this looks to the rest of the world, if your women have to go through this? Do you just accept the occasional damaged children as the status quo? FFS. Might as well go put them out for the wolves, if they are defective. SMH
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
