Friday Prayer

It was Friday. In the morning at 04:00 I and Nuri went to the Masjid Al Haram to do dawn prayer. The dawn would come at 04:51 so we have enough time to get a space in the masjid. Actually, people was crowded leading to the masjid. We took our position on the first floor near gate 84. The prayer was underway several minutes after the on time adzan. At about 05:30 we left the masjid. There were many vendors were offering their stuffs on the street. The street was of course crowded. We walked slowly to see the situation around the hotel. We arrived at the hotel at about 06:30.

At 10:30 we went to the masjid again to join the Friday prayer. The prayer would begin at 12:23. We assumed that the masjid would be crowded and we might not get the space. As a matter of fact, the street was crowded. The masjid seemed to be full since the all access to it was closed. We stopped in front of a hotel where there was a shadow. We started to sit on the street. However, the shadow was going to disappear. We moved again along with the flowing people. We led to the masjid extension that was under construction but almost done. We got the space that cool. We were separated to the men and women section. Eventually, we could join the prayer in the comfortable condition.

At 17:45 we went to the masjid again. We would join the maghrib prayer at 18:38 and isha prayer at 20:08. The street was also crowded but we could get the space in the masjid easily.
