Researcher Notes: |
I was impressed by the quality of Khutba accompanying Friday congregation prayer (Salatul Jumu'a). It was delivered simultaneously in English and Arabic. This permitted the congregation to understand the message being delivered. The two rear rows of the congregation were comprised of women and girls. |
