Meeran Jumma Mosque — Attraction in Galle

We went to this masjid today. There was a lady at the entrance of the women's prayer area who didn't let us go to the toilet with our shoes . She was forcing us to wear the slippers there.

This is NOT hygine. If a woman who has a skin problem had worn these slippers before, probably the next woman who wears them might get the same skin problem . So there SHOULDN'T be seperate slippers for the people .

Besides how can someone force us to do something that's NOT Hygine ? she did it....

i even saw a woman who was going to pray , giving money to her even though right next to her, on a board it's written that "No one is authorized to get money to the hand. ".

She randomly chooses the women & then force only them. So i don't believe this is a rule of the Masjid.

Pls take this in to consider. Turn a cctv camera to her direction , advice her not to force anyone like this. If this doesn't work, she's not suitable for this...

Only built in 1904, Meeran Mosque exhibits a fabulous mix of architectural styles that again showcases the amazing diversity of cultures that have lived in and ruled over Galle throughout the years. While its Baroque facade looks more like that of a cathedral, some incredible Islamic detailing and decorations remind us that we are indeed looking at a mosque. Add in various British Victorian features, Dutch-influenced designs, and patterned Italian floor tiles, and you start to get a snapshot of not only the history and architecture of the mosque but that of Galle as well. The elegant whitewashed building certainly stands out against its surroundings. It is this unusual and unique combination that makes Meeran Mosque so...
