Mosque （East Gate）

Anas Alwi

Came here by taxi for Fajr prayer as the schedule (02:45-04:46), but it seems to be closed and it's 3am in the morning. It turned out the Fajr prayer here starts at 4am due to extended time. But an aged man, riding a bicycle in a white shirt, with white skullcap, came in out of nowhere and helped me to go around the gate, ushered me in the compound, turned on the inner masjid lights, showed me the wudhu area then he disappeared. It is a humbling experience since I have no clue or any info on the masjid's activity. It's almost teary that the Imam recited al-Inshirah on the first rakaat of the Fajr. Later after the solah, the Imam and Bilal greeted me and showed me the signboard as in the picture and invited me again for Jumaat prayer at 12:30. And yes, we use sign language since none of them speak English May Allah bless them and the community.
