Holy times at Hiroo

自分の部屋から更新している天日(アマニ)です!
おかえりなさい!インターネット!w
まずは、皆さん、イードおめでとうございます!
皆さんはご家族や友達と一緒にすばらしいイードを過ごしますようにお祈りします。

日本はまだラマダーンなので、私たちのイードは明日から始まるそうです。
日本語でラマダーンについて情報はこちら。
というわけで、今日(9月30日)はラマダーンの最後の日でした。(もう2:53なので昨日となります^^;)
エジプト人の友達のRちゃんと一緒に六本木にあるイランのレストランでイフタールを食べて(イフタールなら無料!)、そのあと「ひろおモスク」に向かって一緒にお祈りをしました。
本当にモスクで安心した気持ちで神聖な時間を過ごしました

しかも、ムスリムの日本人が多くて、あんなにたくさんいたんだーと思ってビックリしました。
Rちゃんは4人のムスリムの日本人の友達に紹介してくれましたがお祈りが終わったら4人の中の2人と一緒に近くにある喫茶店でデザートをエンジョイして日本語で楽しく喋りました。(Rちゃんは日本語がペラペラなエジプト人です)

おもしろいことには、ムスリムの日本人は思ったよりも普通の日本人として生活していることです。
それはどういう事かと言うと、会った人の中でスーツを着ていたお祈りをしに来たサラリーマンが2人で、大学生と会社で働いている女の人もいたということです。
今日は日本にあるイスラムについて新しい事が分かりました。:)
それでは、またね!

*注意
日本語の間違えや不自然な表現などがありますので、足元にご、、、あ!違う!^^;
自分の日本語にご注意ください。笑


Internet is back!
First happy Eid to everyone in Jordan and every country that had Eid today!
May everyone spend the best times with their families and beloved ones.

For us here in Japan, it was the last day of Ramadan and our Eid will start tomorrow. Well basically today since its dawn already.

Today I went with R-chan, an Egyptian friend, to an Irani restaurant in Roppongi that offers halal food for Iftar for free.
It was really a great meal.

Greater than that I had the chance to pray Maghreb and Isha'a prayers at Hiroo Mosque.
It was a really great experience full of peacefulness of mind and soul.

Greatest of all, I didn't expect to see this number of Muslim Japanese people here.
My friend introduced me to 4 of her Japanese friends whom we met separately on the way to and out of the mosque. And this happened in less than an hour. I met 4 Muslim Japanese people in less than an hour!
We went with 2 of them to a near by cafe and had a nice chat in Japanese. (Not to forget mentioning that my Egyptian friend, unlike me T_T , speaks perfect Japanese!)

What surprised me more, that they are people involved in their society like other Japanese individuals. I met a woman working in a company, a student and two -apparently- salary men that were in their usual suits.
I learned something new about Islam in Japan today :)

..But the worst of all is that I didn't have my camera X(
*Subzero san also had a post about Hiroo, click here

See you next post!

Biraru san, What's wrong with the 'z'button on ur keyboard? :p

Saemon 左衛門 said...

hehe, I didn't notice that, Amani-san has sharp sense (aw wa2eftellak 3al ghalta!).

a tip to bilal-san: for periods you can use the backslash/? button while using the IMEJPN. it will look like this ・・ instead of this。。
(and it also means this... :P)
