Mosque Visit

Yesterday, I went to Nur-Allah Mosque for Friday service. I went for a pre-requisite of my ICR, which will be helping with Sunday school at the Mosque. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous about the visit. I have not been to a church service of any kind since 2nd grade, and I also do not know very much about the Islamic religion. But, I was warmly welcomed by both the Imam and others within the Mosque. The service was very interesting. The Imam, which is similar to a priest/pastor, spoke about the importance of physical health. He spoke about certain foods of which the followers should eat, such as fruits and organic foods. He also talked about exercise and how important it is for the human body and why it is important to their faith. He then spoke about although food is important; fasting also is important. He talked about the importance of fasting during Ramadan and how it is important to their faith. The service ended with a prayer. The service was interesting and has me very excited about volunteering at Nur-Allah.
