Eid prayer- Muslims in Texas

 

Yesterday we went to the mosque to make our Eid-prayer. I was really surprised that Texas has so many Muslims. I was surprised too that the mosques in Texas are so much bigger compared to german mosques.

I saw people with so many different migration backrounds, but they seemed to me more like a big family. I wouldn´t say that they  went to the mosque just to pray, they went to the mosque to meet their friends too.

Nevertheless I noticed that the people there are true american too.
I saw inside the mosque how a man donate money ( Zakat- is a form of alms-giving treated as a religious tax and/or religious obligation in Islam)  with his credit card and to pay everything with a credit card is typically American. This made me smile.

Donate money with credit card- Typically american  :D
