Talal Al-Khateeb, the Muslims First Who Lived In North Pole


The Muslim community has now spread to all over the world. Not only in big cities are busy people, but they also have been placed in remote areas all over the world, including in the polar north.

In Inuvik, the Arctic, the city that are in Canada, is currently estimated that there are Muslims living 75-80 among 3700 inhabitants. The majority Muslim population there comes from SudanThere are even some who came from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine.
A third of Muslims were working as taxi driver. While there are others who have a restaurant, grocery store, worked as a barber, and security officers.

As written Al Arabiya, the first Muslim population residing in the North Pole was Talal al-KhateebMale Syrian descent who had arrived in town in the winter temperatures reach 40 degrees below zero, at 28 years ago. He was known as the richest man in his small community.
After nearly three decades, the Muslims reached the city, the successor Khateeb kept coming. Because the numbers are now close to 100 souls, they too need a place of worship a mosque or prayer house. And if nothing gets in the way, a mosque, established aided by donors from Saudi Arabia will stand at the north end of the world.

Since last week, the proposed mosque is named 'Mosque at the End of the World' began in the wake. It is estimated that it takes approximately 10 days to assemble a series of timber to be used as a mosque in the city which is only 200 kilometers from the north pole.
