I visited the local mosque here in upper austria where i live here near my town. I was shy and first and went up to the mosque from the parking lot, a man saw me and asked me if i look for something i said i would like to visit the mosque, he asked me if i want to come in. I said if im allowed to of course. He said yes. He asked me "are you german" and i said "im from serbia" he then said he is bosnian and then we spoke bosnian/serbian. He was friendly and introduced himself but now i forgot his name again. I had to take off my shoes, he showed me around, where they wash themselfes, where their office is, and the praying room. I asked him if he would take a picture of me, if that is allowed, he then took a picture of me, even put on the lights, for the picture. I said blessed Ramadan afterwards and thank you very much for showing me, then i went outside and went. My friend stayed in the car, she didn't feel like going in there, she's also Austrian. In retrospect, it seemed better to me that she didn't go, that she stayed at the parking lot because the man showed me that there was a separate entrance for women , and that they do not pray there together with the men. The women are separated from the men. I'm not sure if this would also apply to visitors who are non-Muslims.
Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims
