==For those who reside in Southern Hemisphere - How to meet Ramadan?== It seems that Muslims who reside in Southern hemisphere dont have to fast Ramadan in the summer (July). In Quran Shehri Ramadan means Scorching month, it cant be in winter, for those who live in the southern hemisphere and witness the summer solstice in December-January. How do we know when the scorching month starts? -By the sun and its brightness (91:1). The day of the summer solstice is the brightest day of the Sun, because it shines on the ground at a 90° angle. And also the shadows are in their shortest forms. The verse 25:45 talks about the relation between the Sun and the shadows. As we know the Quran was revealed in the scorching month. The 9:81 talks about the fake Muslims not wanting to go to war with Muhammad because of the hot weather. Then the 9:86 talks about a sura being revealed. All these facts show that the month of Ramadan should always be in the summer, i.e. June-July for northern hemisphere residents and December-January for Southern hemisphere residents (Pacific timezones).
