JEJAK MASJID 3

Bismillah,

Wow, Alhamdulilah...I just got back from, tarawih prayer and it was amazing! The mosque was filled! Tonight I went to Amru Al 'As Mosque. Amru Al 'As was the founder of Egypt, so of course this mosque is one of the earliest in Egypt.

History has it that Amru Al 'As missed Makkah and Madinah so he built this mosque in resemblance to the mosque in Saudi. In the middle of the mosque there is this huge open air area..

Besides that, there are many HUGE churches around the mosque. The town used to be a centre of religion, Islam and Christianity..

To get there, take the metro and stop at Mar Gargis station. The mosque is about a 5 minute walk from the metro station.

History also states that every 27th of Ramadhan a syeikh name Jibrail comes and becomes the imam. Usually on this night the mosque is overflowing with people. It becomes so overflowed that the streets are filled with people praying..Masya Allah..

I mean the mosque is HUGE itself...so if the streets are overflowed..its like the whole population of KL came to pray..

open air area..

Oh yeah..imam reads 1 juz' in 8 rakaats..illa liqa'!
