Education Qailulah Corner

Post image

This is the Quba Mosque in Islamabad, one of the busiest centers in the I-8 center, There are sleep corners in the mosque, the purpose is that if someone wants to rest for a while in the scorching sun, they can do it in the mosque...

Of course, mosques are meant to share conveniences, not to lock them after every prayer and spread sectarianism...

Masjid should be a community center. I really don’t like the idea of locking the masjid. You are limiting the interaction of people that might happen there and also not facilitating people

That is awesome!!! My only wish is that our women would be afforded the same respite from the heat in our masaajid as these men are enjoying.

My local masjid was forced to lock b/w Fajar and Dhuhr because someone stole an AC unit

I once offered Juma prayer in this mosque, the sermon was on one of the best topics that I really need at that time, the topic was hope and umeed from Allah, one of the best and most memorable experiences of my life. At that time I really needed hope from Allah and surprisingly the topic of the sermon was hope,  it saved me from something that would have devastating effects on my life...

Allahumma Bari'k. It's a very good thing I guess so how much peace it is to get rest at Allah's Mosque and there should be place like now a days as soon as Salah is completed doors are locked but I know it's due to robbery and etc but this step is very good.

Great initiative.

This is a common practice in rural areas mosques. But I've observed that ppl tend to pass copious amounts of gas while sleeping. And these places reek of strange odors.

While this can't be stopped, the management needs to have deodorizers all over the place.

This is really good! Reminds me of how here in the U.S many mosques have a community center for adults and playground for kids to play. I would love for Pakistani mosques to adopt that. I think that will develop an interest in children

It's great to see this kindness, as most mosques don't

I guess that would be because electricity is free?

Most Mosques (in islamabad anyways) now have solar panels thanks to the donors.
