[jackiew66]

[allie2026]

[moehammadmano]

@dostoevsky,are you sure?

I think this is Sultan Hassan Mosque.

[CaptainStriker]

This is the truw side to islam, a peacful spiritual religon.Not an extremist,terrorist one.

Mahsaa Allah

IMISS EGYPT

um iddunya

When iwas was there i would go out in thwe balcony to listen to the azan from Fajr to Isha

[12Shilo12]

I was allowed in, our whole tour group was. I think everyone responding about it being open to all is correct. The only time the Sultan Hasan or Muhammad Ali mosques are closed to tourists/non-muslims is during worship services (unless I'm mistaken). Pretty sure I'm right. Anyhow, check out the video of my visit there... its found in the one called "Egypt (Churches/Holy Places)".

[tazeenhasan]

Indoor lighting is better. Which cam did u use by the way? pls. specify.

[tazeenhasan]

Is it Madarsa Hasan mosque?

[Ahmedhafez]

@tazeenhasan its a complex consisting of a madrasa (islamic school), mosque and also has a mausoleum

[tazeenhasan]

@Ahmedhafez  Ya I have been there in 2007 and was simply impressed!

[Converted2Islam]

Non-Muslims are allowed in mosques. I used to live in Egypt and I saw lots of non-Muslims visiting mosques.

:)

[nonadim]

wonderful adhan. unfortunately you missed the first two phrases.

[shoedoctor99]

This is beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. Especially if you read the translation.

Thank you so much for posting. Which mosque is this, by the way?

[dostoevsky2007]

It's the Al Rifa'i mosque in Cairo :)

[sodr2]

are mosques in cairo open to anyone?

[OmarChannel]

All mosques are open to anyone and everyone, as long as they don't do something stupid...

[marcomorkous]

With all due respect, that is a completely false statement my brother!!! I am a coptic orthodox Christian!! i am also egyptian.. I know for a fact that muslims do not allow nonmuslims in their mosques unless they convert!!

[OmarChannel]

Umm your telling me? Every friday in my local masjid there is a program for the youth and every friday Christian missionaries and even non-muslim students come and listen. No one says anything, they are even encouraged to come. I don't know about the situation in egypt, but according to Shari'ah (Islamic Law) they are allowed inside.

[marcomorkous]

Yes i am telling you!! Because i am from egypt.. On rare occasions they might let nonbelievers in but it is frowned upon and it isn't welcome..

[Lammy2k]

@marcomorkous

On no occasion are non-Muslim people banned from entering a mosques. Every Church, Beit Knesset or Mosque is open for those who behave.

[MrGrandDragon]

That depends on what part you live in, some allow everyone but not near the front. I know many people have picnics near the back of the Mosques because in Egypt the Mosques are so big and are the focal points of society.

People are allowed, but at times during prayer it becomes controversial

[ehabsx1]

@marcomorkous it's allowed in Islam

did u try before to enter and someone stopped u

[theyoungoutsider]

@OmarChannel In Morocco they were open just to Muslims

[rahmancairo]

yea of course

[abdoyones1983]

@dostoevsky2007

actually this is the sultan hassan mosque , Al Rifa'i mosque is beside it

[judged10]

How is it bieng sung?

[MYouSSofsaLahElDIn]

That gentlemen at the right corner of the video utters the words in a melodic sound, and the domes in the mosque provide resonance and spreads the sound and there is a microphone somewhere( perhaps a mini one attached to his chest) for external speakers.

[jinx0r]

Yes, of course. Of course this assumes that the person coming in isn't walking in with their shoes, or naked, and things of the like.
