Visit to the mosque of Kortrijk

Islam is in the news daily. Many different things are told about it and that sometimes leads to confusion and prejudice. But what about the life of the ordinary Muslim(a) in our regions? A spokesperson for the Kortrijkse Atakwa-mosque tells during this visit what can be seen in the mosque, what happens, about the prayers and Islamic customs. What is it like to live as a Muslim in Kortrijk? Who all comes to the mosque? Is there, as with the Catholic liturgy, also a strong decline among the youth? What happens in the mosque besides the Friday prayer? There are also mosques that are more than just a house of prayer. How is that in Kortrijk? What role does the mosque have and what importance does faith have in the life of Muslims? Is the imam comparable to a Catholic priest? And what is his power or influence? There is also plenty of room for questions and exchange. Organised by Moskee Kortrijk Activity Members: Yassin El Attar
