Beberapa kali saya mengantar anak-anak ke taman tema indoor di Seoul ini. Di sana sering kali waktu berlalu tak terasa...
...dan waktu-waktu solat pun tiba saat kita masih di sana. Untuk itulah, bagi kebanyakan Muslim tentunya kewajiban solat tidak boleh disepelekan. Pertanyaannya adalah di mana kita harus solat?
Walaupun pihak Lotte World tidak/belum menyediakan tempat solat khusus, ada satu tempat yang pas dan baik untuk solat. Di bawah lintasan monorail^!^ usahakan kusyuk sj jika di atas kita ...monorail sedang wwrrrrrrr....melintas.
Seperti yang nampak pada gambar-gambar ini, ada tempat luas untuk solat yang uniknya....pintu-pintunya pun berhias bak pintu masjid.
Ditambah lagi....ada lantai khusus yang pas dan lumayan bersih untuk mendirikan solat kapan pun.
Tempatnya ada di area piknik atau
피크닉장소 yang ada di lantai 2 dekat dengan dan di antara area rumah hantu dan panggung terbuka. Jadi jom.tempat makan sebenarnya, tapi tetap bisa kita gunakan sebagai tempat solat.
Area wudhu tentu saja tidak ada. Namun, ada hwajangsil di dekatnya.
So? Jalan-jalan di Lotte World sepanjang hari tak perlu gusar tentang di mana kita bisa solat.
*memang, solat bisa di mana saja. Namun, jika ada ruang yg seperti ini. Why Not?
Lotte World should provide a small room or section to cater the need of Muslim travellers in this park. I hope they would do something about it, considering the increasing trend of travellers from some Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern countries hopping into the Peninsula.^~^
...of course....there are other places where Muslims can perform.their prayer in Seoul....and its surroundings.
Just in case.....siapa tahu perlu:
For the unmistakably famous Nami Island, the fact that this island authority provides its Muslim travellers with a Musholla 'prayer room' is indeed something worth-appreciating. It's located inside the Nami.Library. Easily spotted.
For those who happened to be around Yongdeungpo area....Subway Line 1....there's a musholla Al.Falah.
Just exit yourself from Exit No.4 and walk for about 50 meters, turn left at the first alley...and yup...the prayer room is on the 2nd floor at the very same building where the billyard room is.^^ (refer to the pics above)
...or....for anyone who wish to see the Central Masjid, well..then....make up your plan to visit this Grandest Masjid (so far) in Korea. Line 6 @ Itaewon.station.
...
For visitors to Ansan, sure there's a Masjid, but for those who are unfamiliar to Ansan, I also learned that Woori Bank provides a prayer room for its customers and anyone wishing to pray there.
Woori Bank Musholla. It's not far from Ansan station....and since it's the first Woori Bank at the Multicultural Street, it's spottable. Oh, we could savour the colorful commotion down there since the room is on the 3rd fl. *I hope it's still there, thouh
-------
And...I heard...hmm..overheard ...that there are other prayer rooms in Everland, Seoul Global Center in downtown Seoul, Petite France, and....some campuses across Korea....*of course, the latter ones only cater those visiting the campus.
....and...speaking of which...I just hope...semakin banyak...more campuses in Korea provide a prayer room inside the campus.
......^-^
And..today...I just learned that in.COEX mall there's a musholla.
Please refer to this Facebook link about this great news:

Or...what about praying at the emergency stairs. ..yang menang selalu ada di dalam department stores atau g-gedung besar?.
Thanks to Aries Budianto, my student, who showed me this method. I mean..it's practicable since the section between stairs are probably the less trodden parts of the building.
Tinggal cari saja tanda seperti berikut dan buka pintu....cari lantai yg agak sepi.
Of course, keep our voice down so as not to obstruct others.
What I'm trying to say is that....praying can be performed anywhere...yup...practically anywhere...as long as it's clean...but...in.this chilling weather....the idea of performing sholat at an open space like parks..seem unimaginable..for some, maybe.
So...I.hope that this would be...at least...of help for any Muslim travellers to Korea who are savouring the delights of Korea and at the same time...keeping their prayer duties... hassle-free.
