Summary: This Vietnam Muslim travel guide visits Al-Rahim Mosque near Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City, with nearby halal restaurants, the mosque entrance, prayer hall, wudu area, Arabic calligraphy, Qur'an study, and the Cham Muslim community around the city.
This mosque, called Al-Rahim (Mercy), is not far from Ho Chi Minh Ben Thanh Market, and it takes only five or six minutes to walk.
There is a street with halal restaurants at the entrance of Ben Thanh Market (see pictures 9 to 12). After eating there, I took a walk to Al-Rahim Mosque (Zhici Mosque, Mercy Mosque) and found that there are halal restaurants in front of the mosque (see picture 2). There is a restaurant on the left and right, and there are some diners sitting there.
When entering the mosque gate, as usual, take off your shoes before stepping onto the steps of the prayer hall. Because the weather was extremely hot, the door on the first floor was left open and two or three fans were blowing. There were three or four people sitting in the hall, one of whom looked like an imam and was teaching the rest of the people how to study the Qur'an.
He told me in English that the prayer room is on the second floor. I exited the hall and found the wudu area on the porch outside the hall. (See Picture 3 and Picture 4)
After going upstairs, we found the main prayer hall (Pictures 5, 6 and 7). There is a dome painted with white clouds and blue sky directly above the main hall. Moreover, there is a prayer space on the third floor, so that the prayer hall can accommodate more people without making it appear cramped.
The location of the mihrab and the Arabic calligraphy layout on the left and right are very similar to the couplets of ancient buildings. I wonder if they were influenced by the couplets. It's very possible, because there are also many couplets in Vietnam.
After coming out of this mosque, I felt that this mosque was popular and alive. Why do I say that? Because I saw Muslims running businesses around the mosque, and there were people studying the Qur'an inside the mosque.
There are also gathering places for Cham Muslims around Ho Chi Minh, and there are also some mosques there. I will take photos for everyone to see if I have a chance in the future. view all
