Iqaluit Muslims gather to observe Ramadan: ‘The community is being established’

Abdoul Karim Diakite takes off his winter boots and climbs the wooden stairs to the sun-filled men’s prayer room. It has sat empty for much of the COVID-19 pandemic.and Iqaluit’s Muslim community is getting ready to come together for the first time in a year when public health restrictions meant they couldn’t gather.“The mosque is not only a place to pray. It’s a place to socialize, to talk to other Muslims,” Diakite said.

Diakite said he hesitated about moving to the North, unsure if he would be able to practise his religion in Iqaluit, but people have been nothing but accepting.More Canadians may soon be eligible for another COVID-19 booster. Here’s what we know“We’re not the first Muslims to move to an isolated Arctic area. We’re not inventing the wheel,” he said.Iqaluit’s long daylight hours during the summer are one big difference about observing Ramadan in the North.

Iqaluit, which is below the Arctic Circle, does see the sun set in the summer, though only briefly. Muslims in High Arctic communities where the sun never sets follow Ottawa’s daylight hours, Diakite said. “The point is not that you suffer.”Muslims in Durham Region prepare for a restriction free Ramadan
