Mosque updates
It is that time of the year… For me the only time I visit my mosque.
In my mosque, they decided to dedicate the basement as a praying space for women. It is HUGE. And since Ramadan is still at the beginning, the number of women at the mosque does not exceed one line; so we feel we are in a play ground.
Someone donated big water bottles during the month of Ramadan, but they failed to appear in the women’s section. I will check in the coming few days to see if the bottles will make it there.
Women still bring very small children to the mosque, and in the basement the children seem to think we are indeed in a playground! They run, they shout and they play… a woman would yell at them every now and then… but they still come every day. I think the only oblivious women are their mothers.
Younger and younger women use chairs these days, they seem exhausted. So in our one line of women, at least half of them pray while seated on chairs… I wonder why women in our part of the world fade away very quickly. Is it the hard labor they do? Is it lack of sports? Is it life weight?
kul 3am and everyone bikhair!

Ramadan Mubarak awwal shee.
I think 4 Muslim women it is a gr8 feeling to go to the mosque during Ramadan. An activity for 30 days -or 29- that is not available whole year long.
Thanks for sharing this and I hope more than 1 line will be the norm shortly

It’s that time of the year again …
I always remember our little ‘conversation’ and whenever I now meet un-aware people, I do enlighten them.
See – your spirit lives on!
Wishing you and your family a peaceful Ramadan!
Miss you!

I think it’s because of our horrible food constituents in this part of the world :S
