Muslims of Siberia | Namaz in -50°C, Wuzu in Snow

Описание: Explore the hidden history of Islam in Siberia, a land known as one of the coldest and most unforgiving regions on Earth. In this powerful long-form documentary, we uncover how Muslims have survived in Siberia for over 1,000 years, enduring temperatures as low as −60°C, political oppression, forced migrations, and extreme natural conditions—yet never abandoning their faith.

This video takes you deep into the lives of Siberian Muslims, including Tatar and Bashkir communities, who continue to pray, fast, and preserve Islamic traditions in a frozen world. You’ll see how Muslims melt ice for water, perform wudu in sub-zero temperatures, and hear the Adhan echo through snow-covered streets. From 19–21 hour fasts during Ramadan to frozen ground that must be burned to bury the dead, this documentary reveals the real cost of faith in extreme cold.

We also trace the historical spread of Islam in Siberia, beginning with Muslim traders from Bukhara, Samarkand, and Khwarezm, whose caravans crossed deadly frozen lands to establish trade and Islamic influence. You’ll learn how Sufi scholars, Mongol conversions, and Islamic states strengthened Islam across the region—until persecution, mosque burnings, and mass deportations tested the Muslim population like never before.

Despite centuries of hardship, Siberian Muslims adapted and survived, building communities deep within forests and frozen plains. Their story is a powerful reminder that Islam thrives both in ease and in hardship, warmth and ice, freedom and oppression.

If you are interested in Islamic history, Muslims in Russia, Siberia documentaries, hidden Muslim communities, and real stories of faith, survival, and resilience, this video offers a rare and unforgettable perspective.

Watch till the end to discover how faith stayed alive beneath Siberia’s frozen skies.
