QA: After three years.. well almost
In yesterday's newspaper, there was a small article inviting non-Arabic speaking Muslims to join congregation for Friday prayer at FANAR (Qatar Cultural Islamic Center). I went there with Zal for Friday prayer and this is my first Friday prayer in Qatar where the sermon is delivered in English. We reached there around 11:30am (right after Zuhr azan) and the place is already jam-packed with people. Met couple of Malaysians there.
Today's sermon is about knowledge. The importance of knowledge for Muslims and how Muslims should utilise the availaibility of infrastructure and technology to gain more knowledge. It was delivered by Bro Bilal Philips, a Jamaican Canadian who now resides in Qatar.
At last, my Friday prayer will be different.. hopefully FANAR will organize this every week rather than once a month...

finally bole paham ur weedkly khutbah jumaat kan. i dunno they have it there in auh..
Yes, they should organise it every week, in fact it is even better if they have it in a bigger masjid. He, Bilal, is a good khatib as well.

yup. at least tak de la nak 'decipher' those few words in Arabic.
zal
agreed. should have been every week. maybe they didnt expect huge turn up that day. hopefully next time, they will extend the prayer area to the foyer.
