and more mosque





What you see here is the place where the women go for their cleansing before going to pray in the Mosque. These are the guides who took us around the mosque and gave us so much information. Then they did a question and answer session. Yes, someone did ask what the men wear under the dishdasha/kandoura. As always excuse my spelling. I will leave the answer a mystery for now. The next picture is of the ceiling. You will see leaves and flowers. On the floor directly below, are identical leaves and flowers on the rug. Both the ceiling and the floor were made by two different people at different times, but somehow the measurements were so exact that it's a mirror image. Very cool. there's so much more to tell, but it's probably boring for you if you weren't there experiencing it. I can't wait to go with Wesley and any other visitors we get....hint hint.

  2. Rinsing the nose, mouth hands and feet. They must do this before they can pray or touch the Quran. There is a womans side and and men's side to pray
