Salatul Jumu'ah in the WRONG MASJID!

[KingMJ]

Today I was in a different area and it was almost time for Salatul Jumu'ah and I saw a Masjid but funny thing it had men in suits at the front of it I was thinking VIP Masjid lol. I see a long table full of all kinds of cakes, timir, fruits and food. I went upstairs and it was a big hall with fridges, HD TV's, water and a kitchen to the side. Gold everywhere, a big decoration of the Sahada and other Islamic calligraphy and looked nice.

As I went to sit down I noticed everyone was looking at me and lots of staring. I looked back and everyone in the room was Arab, I was the only black guy there. Also I’m used to seeing 90% Paki's in most Masjid and some other races. But here it was just Arabs.
I went to sit-down and the imam is in the biggest high chair I have ever seen, It looked like a Ladder he was shouting and getting emotional. Only words I picked up was Libya and repeated Bahrain about 20 times then starting saying Shia and Sunni. I've never really heard a khutbah directly talk about Sunni and Shia. I looked around again but nothing else was suspicious, so I hoped they were just talking about Arab issues and wanting Sunni and Shias to unite.

So it’s time for the Salaat to start and my worst nightmare occurs they all broughtOUT ROCKS to pray with! That’s when I thought oh shit! Shia Masjid

Then for some reason they all turned to face a 90 degree curve which made no sense. I was thinking what do I do, everyone in here is Shia and has a rock in-front of them but me I go to quickly try to pray in a corner, but I managed to step on about 50 rocks. Then I see some people in the corner not having any rocks in front of them so I go to pray beside them. But when I went there they did in fact have rocks but they were just SMALLER AND different coloured rocks.

I prayed my normal way, even though beside me they were doing their unusual hand movements. There was no Allahu Akbar for each Sujood! At one point out of the blue they starting reading Surah Ahad with their hands raised??? and another time they got up and read: At tahiyatu lillahi with their hands raised in a standing position!!!
So basically everytime I raised my hands there’s were down, and when mine were down there’s were always doing something

Then for some reason they all turned to face a 90 degree curve

Yh that was weird

Did they build the Masjid on purpose to not face the Qibla? Or were they on purposely not wanting to face the Qibla, either way no one was sticking to there everyone was praying in a curved shape, waa yaabay

Theres quite a few shia masjids in NW london. One around the kilburn area.

I am just surprised you pray at all. I guess the personalities we show on Somalinet do not really match our real life personalities.

[KingMJ]

What??

Anyway, I would have ran out if he did this :

I heard about their ramadhan rituals.

[Advo]

I would run out as fast as I could, people praying to rocks and shit lmao

[Shirib]

There's some shia's that pray with us at Friday prayer. Prayer looks exactly the same to me, but I've never been to a "shia" masjid.
