1604

The As-Syahadah Muallaf Youth, in collaboration with the Islamic Da’wah Centre (PDI), organised a mosque tour to Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Mosque yesterday.

The tour, held for the third time, saw President of the Brunei History Association (PESEBAR) Dr Haji Mohd Rozan bin Dato Paduka Haji Mohd Yunos officiate it with a signage signing, followed by a tour of the main prayer hall, ablution section, the mosque’s compound and the bahtera.

The tour aimed to showcase, especially to non-Muslims, the Islamic way of life in the Sultanate and Muslim culture, history and architecture. It also gives visitors an opportunity to see the mosque up close and ask questions. – Lyna Mohamad
