Islam

Salaam, I am of Dominican descent and most of my family live in San Cristobal and Santo Domingo. I am a Muslim and I was wondering if there are any Mosques (Masjid) in DR and where.

There is a mosque in Santo Domingo, but I'm not sure of the exact address. I remember that it is just off Av Bolivar a few kilometres west of Parque Independencia.

I have many friends who are Muslim and they tell me there is NOT a Mosque here presently but they are trying to build one. They do tell me there is a place they use to pray. I can make further inquiries if you like?

If there isn't a Masjid in DR I guess I'll establish one in a few years and maybe just maybe we can influence politics in DR.

Peace and Blessings be upon you who seek the shelter from Allah, may his guidance be woth you at all times my brother.

There is two mosques here, Ilhumdulilah..

1- 31 Elvergel, this is at the back of body health club on Feb.27

2. In Excutive Suites in Plaza Fracias, call 712-4777 for info.

Your brother of islam.

TO the person who believes that establishing a masjid for the purpose of political change -

You don't even pray with the current community and are unaware of its existence. It is a peaceful country with too much politics and a wonderful community of arab and non-arab descent. Leave it that way.

If you want to enter non-religious politics leave the mosque. The Dominican Republic is not in the Koran or even near the middle east.

To say I do not Believe in Allah makes me sad. Are you going to tell me you live in a peaceful country where poverty is high and prostitution is running rampent among the community. There is one thing to be proud of your country but not to be proud of haram things that can lead our people to destruction.

You don't even pray with the current community and are unaware of its existence. where in DR or the States?
