Masjid di Seoul

About 30 minutes after the Friday prayer finished, less and less people were seen around the Masjid....and that gave me enough freedom to take some pics.

It's scorching hot....but it's such a bright day that it helped me focus my cam.

The first thing that caught my attention was the wall-mounted display-amp

Also the exterior of the walls.

As well as the door knob...

Or the rather dilapidated upper wall.

Masjid Itaewon

Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015.

I wouldn't have made myself perform the afternoon prayer, had I not decided to stop by at Itaewon Masjid. It's over 5 pm and...

I arrived at the Masjid and found myself being alone inside. The first time ever...I could take the picture without anyone in it.

what a serene atmosphere.

The mimbar where the Imam gives his sermons...kutbah...at least on Fridays...the time I go to the Masjid. Since I had no one to distract me from....easily I could just approach the mimbar and took a picture of its surrounding. 

even...the intricate design and pattern on the walls were visibly cool to look at.

and...the stacks of colorful Al Quran in one of several shelves.

Yes...it was almost dusk...it gave me ample time to enjoy the sunrise before Magrib praying-time.

Idul Adha /Eid-al Adha 1434 H

The morning shower and the chilling weather made it even more .....

I got to pray in the 1st underground floor due to the full capacity of the main floor at Masjid. Well, it's warmer inside, thank God. 

My 3rd Eid-al Adha in Korea.  

After the prayer, people started to peer out of the main praying hall and got down the stairs to meet their friends. 

I only had a chance to take a moment with Sulis and his wife--who just arrived a week earlier. 

As for me, kids went to school since it was not a national holiday in Korea. 

I was lucky to be able to perform the Eid-al Adha prayer at 10 am since my class would not have begun until 12 at that day.

So...It's a kind of different feeling..having to celebrate one of the most important dates in Islamic calender.....without any friends to hang out with. ^^ sure I did meet friends quite a lot of them...it's just that the rain scattered us around..
