What is a mosque? What are the difference
between a mosque and a masjid? Is it safe for me go there? And what are the
restrictions should I consider in going
knowing that I am not a Muslim? These are the questions that came across
my mind, and this is it…
A mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam. The word entered the English language most likely through French (mosquée), from Portuguese (mesquita), from Spanish (mezquita), and from Berber (tamezgida), ultimately
originating in Arabic:
masjidمسجد — Arabic pronunciation: [ˈmæsdʒɪd]. The Arabic word masjid literally
means a place of prostration. The word "mosque" in
English refers to all types of buildings dedicated for Islamic worship,
although there is a distinction in Arabic between the smaller masjid
dedicated for the daily five prayers and the larger masjid jāmi‘ (مسجدجامع) where the daily five prayers and the
Friday congregation sermons are held with a high volume of attendance. The masjid
jāmi‘ also plays more roles such as teaching Qur'an and educating future imams.
The mosque serves as a place where Muslims can
come together for salat (prayer) (Arabic: صلاة, ṣalāt) as well as a center
for information, education, and dispute settlement. The Imam leads the prayer.
Masjid Al-Salaamah is known as the GREEN
MOSQUE for its dominant color is green. The mosque is located in corner Doña Theresa and Doña Pilar
Streets, Vilo Subdivision here in Cotabato City. This was opened since
September 07, 2007.
I would like to say thank you to bapa Willie
for sharing his knowledge about the green mosque and the willingness to share
the teaching of Islam to me. Yes indeed it is safe to go, just be in proper
attire or better yet look bapa Willie and be advice.
