... sight to see! This mosque is a very Holy place for the Shiite sector of Islam, it's considered 2nd important to Makkah. I've been to many mosques throughout this trip, but by far this has been the most spiritual and intense. Especially since i can finally feel its Ramadhan! I respect the fact that once the Imam calls to break the fast (magharb prayers), people don't rush off to eat or drive like maniacs to make it on time (I'm referring to Kuwait fasters), they ...
