InshaAllah, we will visit local Muslim
communities and masjids in the cities of Beijing, Xian, Hohhot and Shanghai. This interaction with the local Muslims will undoubtedly
enhance our travel experience and help us expand our horizons in the context of
Ummah.
In addition, the participants will also have an
opportunity to meet and interact with local imams
and Muslim community leaders,
teachers and young Muslims at Islamic schools.
Friday
prayers will be performed in congregation. It is a unique experience to
listen to the Friday Sermon in Arabic and Chinese.
Arrangements are also being made to visit an
almost exclusively Muslim-populated village and meet local
Muslims in their own setting. These unique visits will help us enjoy
their hospitality, learn their lifestyle, relish their cuisine, understand their
struggles and share their joys & sorrows. This experience is beyond mere
words and is not offered in typical tours.
The following are clips from previous
IslamiCity tours and the participants' interactions with local Muslims:
