About us

We are Muslims who live in the high latitude areas (i.e. above 45° North) for more than 10 years.

We are a group of Muslims with various professions (ranging from imam, scientist, engineer, economist, etc) who active in masajid and Muslim communities. We truly understand the difficulties of Muslims living in these areas with regard to the timings of prayer and fasting, especially during extreme periods in summer when the day becomes very long and in winter when the day becomes very short.
