Today, we went on a trip to the Central Mosque in the Gorbals in Glasgow. There, we had the oppportunity to learn lots of different things, ranging from the architecture of the mosque to the times of the prayers.
One interesting fact that we learned was that in the mosque, green is a common colour because this is the favourite colour of The Prophet Muhammad.
Another thing that we learned was that during prayer, you stand and sit and only some people are allowed chairs if they are older or if they have a disability.
We also learned that women and men are separated in the mosque for washing and praying.
In the prayer room, there are no pictures or distractions so that people can focus on their prayers.
Overall, we had a great time and we were fortunate to learn a lot more facts which we will enjoy exploring further in RME!
