From the moment guests arrived, they were greeted with warm smiles and a vibrant atmosphere filled with curiosity, learning, and connection.
Visitors began their experience with guided indoor tours, offering a closer look at the mosque’s architecture, prayer space, and the daily routines that shape Muslim life.
