Ode Babaita Mosque, Ilorin

Pinning this place of worship to the Steem-Atlas map will benefit everyone, especially those who may find it useful in their region for a quick search of what is available in my country.

_{Sideview of the Mosque}

This mosque has been in existence for a long time in my community where Muslims observe their five daily prayers. That's a historical mosque where Muslims observe Subhi, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers.

This ancient mosque was built by a group of worshippers who live within the community in order to promote the religion of Islam as well as to bring peace and harmony among the group of worshippers.

_{Front view of the Mosque}

The color of the mosque is attractive and unique; in fact, those who pass by always appreciate the beauty as well as the old architectural design that they use to decorate both the inside and outside of the masjid.

The mosque can accommodate a large number of worshippers because it has a lot of space where we can pray to the Almighty as much as possible.

_{Box where the worshipers put the kettle after use}

Kettles can also be seen in the masjid where Muslims can pour water inside the kettle and perform ablution with it. The box shows where the kettles are placed after use by the worshippers. This shows that the committee of the mosque takes care of the activities of the masjid.

_{Inside view of the masjid}

They do not observe Juma'at prayer, but it is open to visitors and indigenes of the community so that they can have enough time to pray Nawafih and the daily five-time prayers. Water is available within the mosque premises, so anytime worshippers arrive at the mosque, they can make use of it to perform ablution in order to pray.

They also use solar lights because electricity in the town is not stable, so they rely on solar power to announce the prayers, ensuring that people from afar can hear the Adhan called for the Muslim community.

_{Sound system use to call for prayer}

Islam is a religion of peace where Muslims are expected to pray to their creator at fixed times. Every masjid has a Quran, and this mosque is no exception; the Quran is available for those who wish to read it.

The mosque is very neat, as Muslims take off their slippers or shoes before entering the mosque.
