When abroad I always look for a mosque! This time it was this mosque the closest to the place I was visiting. My flight was in the evening, so I spent a couple of hours in the mosque. A small and neat mosque.

The Umar ibn Al Khattab Mosque is a place of tranquility, faith and sincere spiritual atmosphere. There is a sense of order, cleanliness and respect for every parishioner. Everything is organized with dignity, with attention and care for people. Special thanks to Imam Elaman kazhi for his hard work, guidance and service to the community. His words strengthen faith, unite people and guide them to goodness. May God accept his efforts and open the way for him to perform Hajj. It would be a good thing to support and help him in this intention. May Allah accept our prayers and good deeds.
