The Mosque

Where was it, what did you see and do at the Mosque?
- In the suburb of Aurburn, Sydney Australia.

What did you learn? Identify major items/facts       -The main hall can fit up to 2,000 people in it. As it is two stories, the women pray upstairs so they feel comfortable, and men don't get distracted while praying. The people of this religion have to pray 5 times a day: before dawn, morning, midday, afternoon and evening. Some taking hours at a time. The main hall took years to build and it cost a total $6 million. Alot of the furnishing in the main hall was imported from Turkery, including the carpet.

What you gained from the experience
- The experience that I gained when going on the excursion was that I learnt about a new religion, and how others have different values and beliefs on how to worship God. I saw how people of this religion pray, and how seriously they take there beliefs.
