Continuing from Part 1

After two more nights of going to the countryside (this time, to the Saddleworth Moors), a few things have become certain:

1. The M62 was made by the devil - its in the direction of the horizon, so some of the light seen on the horizon is probably from the motorway.
2. Its nice and breezy up there in the countryside, especially compared to the overheated towns.
3. It's never truly dark in the summer.
4. If you turn the car lights off, be prepared for occasional traffic - you will want to turn on the lights before it drives into your vehicle!

In the summer months in the UK there is a debate over when Fajr time starts.

The main cause of this is that the sun doesn't go far enough below the horizon for pitch black conditions to occur.

This causes a problem because Fajr time is supposed to be when the "true dawn" starts from pitch black conditions.

Based on the unique conditions of being at such a high latitude, different groups of scholars have come up with different solutions, the most conservative of which is to start Fajr in the middle of the night.

The main solutions are to either use a different point to decide when Fajr starts (hint: the "true dawn" was not the true test of fajr, but a test that worked where tested with the real requirements that were laid out in the Qur'an).
