JUMU'AH @ EXPO WP

Friday past marked the fourth "Jumu'ah" held at EXPO WP. The Management of EXPO WP in conjunction with Anglo Cape Carpets have provisioned “Salaah” facilities inside of Anglo Cape Carpets for “Jumu'ah”. Thus, is goes without saying that there's a plush carpet in the house. The resident “Masjied” is primarily used by vendors and staff both male and female but it is not exclusively for them and certainly available to all “Muslims” especially those working in the surrounding areas of Epping Cape Town South Africa and all  EXPO WP shoppers. Thus far, I have not been fortunate enough to attend “Jumu'ah” at the EXPO but those who were there report that the “Zaghma” was full, that the lectures were potent and the convenience of having a "Masjied" inside EXPO WP is rivalry.


I did have the opportunity to be there for a least one “Waqt” with "Jamaat" and my first impression was that is was very spacious. Not as large as your average Mosque but spacious. In fact, it is far more spacious than that of the famous Mall off the N1 Cape Town,  built next to the Canal where 1000's of “Muslims” flocked to every weekend. These “Muslims” owe it to themselves to come shop at EXPO WP if only to perform “Namaaz” in the latest and newest Mosque on the block. EXPO WP “Masjied” has “Wudu” facilities for both men and women is cordoned off for the privacy of women. Quite recently steps were taken towards installing a sound system since some equipment was donated by Preggy from Audio Zone. This Mosque is like any other where all equipment is “Waqf”, so for those who wish to donate some “Qurans”, please feel free to do so, some "Arkaam"of "Ayaat Al Quran" to adorn the walls would be appreciated. Currently there is a make shift “Mimbar” that will be upholstered in the near future and currently the visiting “Imams” who led “Jumu'ah" thus far will do so on a continual and rotational bases, Insha-Allah.
