The only Muslim who fasts for 21 hours
Wassam Azaqeer, a Lebanese, who lives in a country surrounded by icebergs called “Greenland”, is the only Muslim in this state who is fasting daily for 21 hours with full determination.
Greenland is the largest island in the world; lies between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean; a self-governing province of Denmark.
According to an Arab TV report, Wassam Azaqeer, who is living in Greenland from the past several years and has been called “Arab Columbus” as he is the only Arab Muslim who not only managed to live in Greenland-despite the long and difficult journey, but also running a successful business in the capital city of Greenland called Nuuk.
Wassam, is running his own restaurant where he receives 200 customers each day.
The month of the Ramadan, this year, came in summer so Wassam has to fast for 21 hours and after Iftaar he only got 2 hours to prepare Suhur - the pre-dawn meal to start next fast.
In these 2 hours Wassam, also has to offer the Maghrib and Isha prayers.
Wassam says that he is very proud Muslim to be living on a state where he is the only one fasting and praying in the name of Allah.
He says he sometimes think about going to Lebanon in this holy month but he stops himself by thinking that if left Greenland, there wont be anyone to fast and pray on this land.

Hats off to him....
No Merci, I think you are right. I heard similar things from scholars. There is a maximum number of hours one can fast. But fasting for 21 hours! Wow, it is just amazing. Glory be to God.
but the word "only" somehow did not give a good message! BAsed on one's conviction, he or she can do his or her devotion to God!May his action be rewarded properly!

Sunrise in Nuuk these days are at around 510hrs and sunset at 2150hrs. Of course its a testing fast but it counts around 17hrs rather than 21hrs. I see some factual errors in the post, though I like its sentiments.
May ALLAH Subhana accept Wasssam Azaqeer's fasting and reward him for his efforts and patience,Amin. Thanks for sharing.
Subhan Allah!
Indeed Allah ( SWT) will reward for his best intentions and long fasting patience.
The rule to fast from dawn to dusk is universal and no exceptions. sound really stupid following Saudi timings in Sweden.
exlegend, you are welcome. Let me know what you can find out about the subject.
really... i never knew that nomerci... i will ask a scholar soon and update on here... thanks.. .
exlegend, I have been told, by Muslims who live in countries like Greenland, since the hours between sun rise and sunset can, at times, be extreme in these countries due to their location, that Mecca time applies for them. And this is how most Muslims handle the situation, to the best of my knowledge.for example...in Sweden ithe sun sets between 8 and 9 in the evening. People break their fast at Mecca time. I know this because I am here at the moment.
!!!!!!
no nomerci... it depends on the sun rise and set....
TFS Made everyone know what exactly is dedication and determination.
But does not Mecca time apply for those living in countries like Greenland?
but if ramadan comes in the winter he will be fasting for maybe 6 hours only coz the day time in the winter will be very short there
May Allah accept this mans fasting and prayers and May Allah the Almighty, grant him good health and bless the people of Greenland.... aameeen.
God bless him. It's really touching
there will always be people who pray wherever in the World so saying that if he goes to lebanon,then there won't be anyone who prays for greenland is not really good.. but i do admire his devotion to Allah..May Allah bless him..
Ramadan Kareem..
Glory be to Allah! May Allah accept his fast... and make it easy for him... and bless him... Aameen. May Allah bless others in Greenland and throughout the world with guidance.... aaameen.
MAY ALLAH ACCEPT HIS FASTINGS AND ALL GOOD DEEDS AND MAY ALMIGHTY SHOWER HIS BLESSINGS AND RIGHTOUS WAY TO ALL PEOPLE WHOEVER LIVING IN GREENLAND.
RAMADAN KAREEM.
