Visit to Center Arrahmaan, Marthe Rombouts and Aziz Marabti

For several years, Centrum Arrahmaan in the Otterstraat has been the largest mosque in Turnhout. This does not only serve as a house of prayer, but is also a cultural and social space where connection is central. In the center, education is also organized for all ages, among other things. The building was renovated a few years ago. De Arabische style emphasizes both the cultural background of the community and the aesthetic value of the building. We start with a tour of the building with an explanation about the function of the mosque, its history, and role in Turnhout. You learn everything about the basis of Islam. There is room for conversation and questions to learn more about the Muslim community and traditions in an open atmosphere. Finally, you can look around yourself and take photos where this is permitted. Keep in mind that you wear clean, neat, and covering clothing in a house of prayer and take off your shoes when entering. Appointment at 12:50 pm at the entrance of the center, Otterstraat 81 in Turnhout. rates base price: 9 euros UiTPAS with discount rate: 1.80 euros volunteer price: 8.10 euros
