Korea Backpack - Seoul Mosque

Satu-satunya masjid yang terdapat di Seoul Korea Selatan. Nak solat di sini memang agak susah. Kalau musim sejuk, masa solat jadi semakin pendek. contoh jarak antara solat zuhur dan asar cuma 1 jam. Sama juga solat asar dan maghrib. Jadi memang kena pandai cari masa dan tempat untuk solat. Kebanyakannya akan solat di bilik penginapan je kalau melawat sekitar seoul.

History (src:wikipedia)
The Muslim (both Korean and foreign-born) community is centred around Seoul, where the first large 20th-century mosque was built in 1976 using the funds of the Malaysian Islamic Mission and other Islamic countries.

In addition to fewer than 30,000 indigenous Korean Muslims, are South Asian, Middle Eastern (i.e. Iraqi), Indonesian and Malaysian immigrants in South Korea, the majority of whom are Muslims. They have been guest workers since the 1990s, taking the total Muslim population in the country to around 35,000
