Mosque on Stilts

We had the opportunity to visit a mosque that has been built out from the beach.
Before we could enter the mosque it was appropriate for all of us to take off our shoes before entering the mosque as a mark of respect.
Mosques around the world seem to lack any sort of religious icons and apparently also welcome others to worship which I find refreshing. The idea of the loose fitting robes is to allow people to be comfortable when kneeling and praying as well as to maintain modesty and dignity especially for the women.
The males were then given sarongs and the women…robes as well as head scarfs.
We walked around the mosque 🕌 and were unable to enter the main prayer chamber.En savoir plus
