SLC29-W3 | Urban Discovery Journey : Religious Cultural Activities.

_{Assalamu Alaikum,
Hello everyone,
I am @selina1
From #Bangladesh}

I am starting by wishing all my Steemit friends good health. Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, I am very well. Today I will participate in a great engagement challenge and through this engagement challenge I will share with you about a religious mosque and shop in our area. So let's get started.

Joydevpur is a populated and industrialized area and people of different religions live here so there are different types of temples and mosques here. Today I will share with you the "Al Ishtiaq Qutubkhana" shop near the Gazipur Central Jame Mosque and the mosque. Because this shop is located right next to this mosque and various types of religious equipment are available in this shop.

This shop is located on the main road and you can reach here by any vehicle like auto rickshaw or private car etc. There is a big nameplate on the shop so you can easily spot the shop.

What kind of religious cultural places have you visited? Briefly introduce yourself.

Bangladesh is home to people of different religions but the number of people of Islam is high here. The number of people of Islam in our area is high so there are mosques in different places for worship here. There is a beautiful and large mosque on the west side of the railway station in Joydevpur where people living in Joydevpur or working there or market shopkeepers or pedestrians worship at specific times. The mosque is very beautiful to look at and there are shops selling religious items next to this mosque.

The mosque is as beautiful to look at from the outside as it is clean inside which can be seen when you stand in front of the door. But I did not enter the mosque because I am a girl and took various pictures from the outside. There is a donation box in front of the mosque where religious people donate as much as they can. There is a shop very close to the mosque. Inside the shop, various types of religious items such as the Quran Sharif, Islamic books, prayer mats, head caps, handkerchiefs, etc. are sold.

There are CCTV cameras inside the shop for security and the shop owner sells all the items himself, meaning there are no employees. Islam means peace. When we went to this shop to buy essential items, the shopkeeper was very polite. I bought a handkerchief from the shop. I liked the smell of perfume so I was looking at them. There are perfumes of different prices inside the shop and the prayer mats are very beautiful.

Whatever you buy from this shop, the shop owner sells it at a lower price than other shops and whatever you buy from here, you must pay in cash. If you buy several items together, they give some discount from the total price.

What kind of religious activities are seen here? (With pictures + videos)

Since it is a mosque, that is, a place of worship for Muslims, it can be seen as an activity of Islam. One thing I noticed after going there is that there are always some poor people in front of the mosque who usually beg. Many devout and kind Muslims give them some charity at the end of the prayer. Islam usually has an order to pray five times a day and the call to prayer is given. So every day, countless people come to this mosque to pray and many come to buy religious books from the shops next to the mosque. Every day, many people come here to do their own personal worship.

To answer this question, I took some pictures and videos of the shop next to the mosque. Only Islamic items are available inside this shop. Every day, customers buy religious books or religious items of their choice from this shop. Some pictures and videos of the inside of the shop are given below.

Which thing in this place attracted you the most? Or show the price of the book in that religious equipment shop.

As I have already said, there are Islamic religious tools inside this shop along with the mosque. In addition to other religious items inside this shop, there is perfume and these perfumes are of different brands. I like the knowledge of Adar very much, but perfumes of different villages or brands are available in different shops, but the perfumes of this shop seemed completely different to me. The tea is very attractive, especially the perfume box. The prices of the perfumes were also comparatively low. I found so many of them so attractive that I asked the shopkeeper for perfume and looked at them in my hand.

Is there any special moment or experience?

This would be a great answer for me because I go to this shop next to the mosque to attend this engagement and whenever I tell the shop owner that I will take pictures of some items he says yes without hesitation, that is his behavior is very elegant. Also when I was taking pictures of the items and the shop owner understood that I will not buy anything, he still treated me very well and this is the commandment of Islam which surprised me. But when I came back from the shop my husband bought me a handkerchief and gave it to me as a gift it was a special moment for me. I was really surprised to receive this gift from my husband and it was the best moment for me even though the gift was cheap but it was special for me.
