I want to pray as the Prophet (saw) did. Not the five mandatory prayers in the middle of the day.

Maybe we shall not use the holy text literally when we are where the sun don't behave "normally".

Like Sweden, underground, space, northpole etc.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, sweden is one place where the sun not act "normal", and the north parts have 24hr daylight in sommer, and 24hr darkness in winter.

I know all arabic muslims pray according to the solar clock in the south. That is about the same as their biologic clock (time to wake up and go to sleep)

But in i.e. sweden, to pray as the prohpet (saw), I must use the biologic clock. If so, I must not read the Koran literally.

In sweden I haven't found any Islam forums on the web, to answer yes or no to that

Yes, thanks, I've found some forums and also Imams.

(my english is not perfect by the way

But I've got an answer to my question, even if it's not exactly straight and simple.

We should not read the holy texts literally, so it's not mandatory to pray according to the sun.

How come?

The Imam says that if we are in places with "unusual" daylight time we could i.e

- pray as they do in nearest town with "normal" daylight

- use the time table of Mecka

- and some other "workarounds"

And what is that answer? It is a figurative one, not literal.

Those answers, not found in either the Koran or the Hadiths, are an interpretation of the holy texts.

Since those answers are accepted in Islam, it is hence fully accepted not to read the Koran by its exact words. Voila! (French

So you don't have to follow the exact text about i.e. inheritance. Just understand Islam want a fair share for everyone involved. Even the text about the paradise. It is just a way to describe an incomprehensible, incredible fantastice place.

I just wonder one thing. Why I don't hear any other muslim say this in public?
