my the first time to visit here. only one mosque in korea i think. good place to visit. in itaewon area. with muslim friends it’s good time to show them here

We visited the Seoul Central Mosque on a Jumuah. It is down a small winding road that was so backed up with traffic while heading to Jumuah that we got out of our taxi and walked a bit of the way. There was no clear signage for the sisters' prayer area. There were so many there to pray that brothers were praying outside. We followed some sisters to a cramped prayer area. It was so tiny compared to what Iater got to see was the brothers' area that I wondered if it was meant to dissaude sisters. The khutbah was in Korean & Arabic. Don't recall there being an English portion. After salat we got a better look at the masjid. It was once again difficult to find signage as to where sisters' should go. When I went toward the main entrance looks told me it wasn't the right spot, but no assistance. Eventually my daughter and I found the way. The masjid was lovely in the standard masjid way, however, once again the sisters' area was difficult to get to. It was up 3 flights of stairs (I thought about mothers with babies) and once you got upstairs it was once again a tiny space that was blocked off from viewing the khateeb. So sisters if you're hoping to get a good look of a masjid in another country while you are visiting, don't get your hopes up for that. Go to pray and you would have met your goal! Alhamdulillah. We were so glad to find the masjid, pray there and be amongst the Muslims. May Allah reward them for establishing the masjid and the salat.
