NOSTALGIA UK
Up above Urdhu, down below English (1994)
One fond memory of Glasgow was the Friday prayer. Though there were many mosques in the city, one that we frequented was the Central Mosque on the south bank of the River Clyde. In the main hall on the ground floor, the sermon was given in Urdhu, I guess given that the majority of the Muslim population in the city were Pakistanis. Nevertheless, in the lower ground floor, smaller groups were formed and separate sermons were given in other languages including English where we would be at. The person who gave the sermon was one dedicated man ... I remember there were only a couple of occasions he wasn’t there when we had to pick up our Urdhu along way in the main hall :)
