“A basic purpose of a mosque is to serve as a place for Muslims to offer their prayers and in Arabic, the word for prayer is ‘al-salat’ which in essence means ‘compassion, love and mercy’. Consequently, a Muslim who offers his prayers with sincerity is a person who is kind, caring and merciful and he or she is a person who strives to stay away from immorality, illegal activity and all forms of evil.”
This mosque, which is the Jamaat’s second mosque in Sweden, was officially opened a day earlier when Huzooraa delivered his weekly Friday Sermon. (“Reception held to mark inauguration of Mahmood Mosque in Malmo, Sweden”, www.pressahmadiyya.com, 15 May 2016)
