The praying time

This board shows many clocks. The bigger one show

the real time in singapore while the smaller ones

shows the time when the muslims should pray. The

bell of the mosque will be heard and a song will be

continued after the bell. Muslims pray 5 times per

day, facing mecca.

You would see the word mecca in

some hotels or resorts in Malay, stick at the ceiling.

It is printed one green arrow paper. You will face

where the arrow is pointing to pray. The used the colour

green is because it is a important colour to mulims and the colour green

also gives you life. There is also one more colour that

is important to Malay, yellow. A muslim must be clean before

he or she prays to their god, Allah.

They must first have the

proper clothes, that are special, to entera mosque. They

must be covered from head to toe. Men will have to cover their

heads with a hat called 'songkok' while women have to cover their

hair with a scarf to hide their beauty from men.

Before they enter the mosque, they must be clean,

so a toilet with taps is outside the mosque. After

cleaning, they have to cover their heads. Men and

women do not pray together. If there is 2 storey in

the mosque, the women will pray at th second floor

while the men prays at the first floor. If the mosque

has only 1 storey, there will be a curtain dividing th hall

into 2 parts.
