I came across one thing lovely, as some might not know I’m a Muslim in reality once I learn this it was mind-blowing, In 1976 an Islamic mosque had been established after the federal government of Park Chung Hee donated a plot of land in Hannam-dong, central Seoul, spanning round 5,000 sq. meters (53,800 sq. ft) kpop.
Each night time from 9 – 10pm, college students from Seoul college collect to wish within the mosque. It was refreshing to learn an article to swimsuit my wants {that a} nation had been beneficiant sufficient to do one thing so lovely! Its exhibiting that a couple of members of Korean society are embracing a brand new faith in a distinct side, which might heat anybody’s coronary heart. Everyone knows a majority of Koreans are Christian and are very loyal. Once they opened the doorways for the Muslims to wish, it confirmed a grown respective state of affairs in addition to entered a good equality, fairness and cultural understanding.
Till 2001, there have been simply 67 Korean-language books on Islam. However the determine virtually doubled between 2001 and 2005. It’s not impolite or farfetched to say that Koreans are blindly ignorant to Islam however I do imagine as a result of September eleventh assaults, they’ve grown curiosity. Though by means of a foul state of affairs, its nonetheless greatest to know and perceive.
A really influential ladies I checked out not too long ago, Chung Hyun-kyung, spent a yr travelling round 17 Islamic international locations in an effort to acquire perception into the individuals, faith and tradition. she has interviewed over 200 ladies in these international locations.
I’ve been intrigued to discover a blinding state of affairs like this flip into one thing optimistic, I used to be extremely impressed together with her change in perspective to discovering out about this faith. She is a tenured professor on the Union Theological Seminary in New York, to start an intensive research of Islamic faith and tradition.
