Day26_Freitag/Friday6thFeb'2009_To AlFadila Moschee & Turkiye Supermarkt at Gropelingen.

The journey it usually takes from the apartment at Lise-Meitner to the Al-Fadila Moschee (provided you catch the trams at Lise-Meitner station to the hauptbahnhof and tram Huchting at the moment you reach the respective station) it would be a mere 30 minutes ride.

Leaving the apartment at Lise-Meitner Strs. for Freitag/Friday prayers.

Waiting for tram no.6 at Lise-Meitner station.

In tram no.1 to Huchting

I reached the moschee/mosque today (6th.Feb)

at 1230hrs and that's 19 minutes before the call/athan for the Friday prayers. The athan was at 1239hrs. There was time to zikr.

Familiar faces whom I have had conversation with were there like Moustafa, Brother Aziz, Bilal, Rejab, Sunny, Omar, Hj.Mohamad, Hashim and the like. It was also the same Imam who lead the Freitag/Friday khutbah. Usually the congregation consisted of same familiar faces who frequent the moschee every Freitag/Friday or any other hours.

Today , however I did not go for any Turkish black tea or mini pizzas after the Friday prayer because the place seemed crowded and seats were limited. Before leaving the moschee, I just had a very brief conversation with Brother M******, shook hands with the Imam and Moustafa (they were with the Imam at that time for some light conversation) and exit the moschee and headed towards Am Brill to catch the tram to Gropelingen.

Leaving the moschee.

I wanted to shop for some food at the Turkiye supermarkt in Gropelingen which I*** had taken us there before. On the way to the tram station, entered the Highlights outlet for some One-Euro items :-)
