On Friday...

[Sealion]

On Friday I went to a Somali mosque for the first time ever! It was cool. I got dirty looks/side eyes when I blithely reapplied my makeup after prayers. I guess that's a no go?

What kinda mosque do you usually attend?

What kinda mosque do you usually attend?

A Pakistani one occasionally, all the girls redo their make up right after prayers and most of the women don't wear hijab or put a scarf on their heads while showing half their hair.

Hmm, can't think of a Pakistani masjid in this city where the girls might do that. The ones I've seen are usually pretty conservative. The Caribbean community is very relaxed, in that regard.

Yup. Qabiil even comes into play with masjids here.

No idea. I'm laughing so hard right now.

I don't want to self-qarxis but it is a small place in east york.

Yeah Qabil over everything here. Even in the students clubs at the university.

New beginning, new start for someone who has finally seen the light.Alhadaaya mina Allah.

lol fah! sealion, how they know each other's qabil? or they ask each other?

Are you asking which one I pray in? Personally, it doesn't matter to me, at all. I've prayed in probably close to 30 masjids in and around the city. Somalis only have a handful. It's rather depressing knowing that the administrations split because of qabiil and power sharing bs. This happens in the Indo-Pak community as well.

I think the folks with the best masjid management are the Caribbeans. They don't always have the basics down pat, but they're good folks.


Sealion,

Small one in East York, eh? I think I can narrow it down. I've taken a guess at which one it is. If I'm right, the make up thing makes sense.

I think a new start is a simple start. Small steps are important.
