29TH DECEMBER 2024 ~ The mosque was not that big actually and that was one reason it was not built exactly like the original design in XI'AN. Still there were a lot to be seen and admired, walking around the holy place.
There was a Khat writing [Islamic calligraphy] demonstration done by someone [from China?]. You could get your name written in Arabic lettering and the work of art was framed for you to take home - for RM20.
VIDEO: Guess whose name was he writing?
We had the opportunity to sit and listen to Tuan Haji Shahrin Low, one of the committee members of the mosque [I guess], who briefed us a bit about the history and development of the Masjid Jamek Cina Muslim in Klang.
In one room, we saw 30 pieces of water gourds [water containers] contributed by the Chinese visitors from China. On each of the container, the whole chapter of al-Qur'an was written. The 30 pieces completed the whole Holy Book.
This should be one memorable outing for seven UPM TESL Class of 1993 friends and accompanied by three husbands. At least it was something different than the usual gossiping session while embarking on the gastronomic adventure. We still went for lunch at a nearby restaurant after that though [READ HERE].
Thanks to the two Klang residents who were playing hosts, and we had already made plans to come back to explore the town more.
