Jerusalem Old City - Minaret

[Nefus1988]

Is this Malmö in Sweden?

[LarisaTheAwesome]

@Nefus1988 Is there even a minaret in Malmö? And no, this is Jerusalem.

[Nefus1988]

@LarisaTheAwesome If you haven´t lived under a stone the last decade, Malmö is filled with Iraqis and other sand people.

I love Minarets... they are so beautiful especially stone ones

[DeusMortem]

To think that such a seemingly intelligent being as man still clings to the childish game called religion. Hahahaha! Pathetic.

[kopilicar]

I was in Bosnia and it is scary to hear that in dark alone

[toniente]

I've always loved it, and don't know why.

[jinkasima]

so when the call to prayer is announced. does everyone make their way to the mosque to pray, or will everyone stop wherever they are and bow and pray?

[Sheti]

No, not evereyone, only a few integralist...

@Sheti

I have been told then when ever you hear a prayer, you stop what ever you are doing and stand up and say these words: "We'esedu enemu veresuljula" I can't really write them down or anything on this font I really don't know how. But that's what my dad has told me to do.

[lkmw32]

@Sheti Yes the proper thing to do is to go to a mosque and pray. That's the purpose of the call to prayer (Azaan)...it lets people know when it is time to pray.

[linzki]

@lkmw32 does muslims have so bad memory that they forget prayertime, so they have to terrorise ppl with this most awful noise?

[ilovemuslimfood666]

It depends on what country you're in, whether you're a man or a woman, etc. Women usually do it from wherever they happen to be. Men, however, are encouraged (sometimes required by law) to make their way to the mosque.

[IhsanZahir]

@jinkasima get ready for the prayer, lol, like make wudu if you havent already, then another azan will be announced but this time it will have the words ''qad qamatis salat qad qamatis salat'' after Heya al falah (meaning, the prayer has begun), then the prayer will begin.

[FataOrlovic]

@jinkasima Stop whatever you are doing, make an ablution (cleanse your self) and then perform one of the 5 short daily prayers (preferably in a mosque) and then back to whatever you were doing :)

[Scurck]
