    Today I went to the mosque for the EID prayer and I am just so happy. I have been in Rio for the last six months. But, I did not see any muslim community so far. Today, I managed to go to the mosque and I was surprised to see that there is a coherent muslim community in Rio. I met people from Middle East, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Africa. And of course Brazilian and their hospitality was wonderful! If you are in Rio for sometime , you should visit the mosque. In Friday you will get most people.

    Very nice little Mosque. I was there yesterday for the Friday prayer. It’s about 50 minutes if you take the metro. I asked the Imam if there is any halal meat 🥩 he told me no. So if you are in Rio don’t expect to eat halal meat. I encourage you to go there and make a donation to help the Muslim community here in in Rio de Janeiro please.

    I m not here to rate the masjid but I hope the Imam or whosoever responsible for the affairs of the masjid read this: I called the masjid on Tuesday 2 times no answer ,on Wednesday no answer on Thursday no answer on Friday morning no answer I wanted to ask the time of the Jumuaa prayers and if there is any restrictions about Covid ,face mask .... well no answer on the phone . I was staying in Petropolis wich is a city about 1 hour and half from Rio and about 2 hours and so from the masjid driving but I wanted to pray Jumuaa even if it was 2 hours drive so Friday I went there at noontime for prayers at the entrance one brother had note book with names and he asked me if I was registered I told him no I m a tourist I m here only for couple days . so he said I cant let you in because you are not registered so I explained to him and showed him in my cell how many times I ve been calling the masjid exactly so I dont have this problem. then the imam came and asked me if I was vaccinated I told him no . he said we cant let you in . the rule to travel to brazil is you have to be tested before you travel, they dont require vaccines yet . But the rule in the masjid is different I understand. But at least they have to put it in the website or the voice mail of the masjid so poeple that dont live in rio take notes and either dont come if they are not vaccinated or go to a different masjid.

    i visited her today 11/sep/2021 and by accident met the imam. it was a pleasure to learn about the mosque and even i was not expecting it, he have a muslim community of about 100 persons, which is great for Rio. as i will send them my sadaka, every body should consider for him self aswell.

    Try to be there before 1.30pm for Jummah namaz. Imam is from Mozambique and very humble as the Imam should be, he can speak English as well. Muslim brothers please visit Masjid and try to donate as much as you can. May Allah accept all our prayers. Ameen

    Masha-Allah, a beautiful mosque in Rio. For Jumuah, we arrived at 12:50PM and the khutbah had started. The iqamah for Salah was at 1:30PM

    Assalaamoe alaykoem, It was wonderful being present in Jumuah and witnessing a you musallie taking shahaadah. It is inspiring and beautiful to know our youth in Brazil are coming towards Islam. Coming from South Africa we were pleasantly surprised to find a masjied in Rio de January and we looked forward to attending Jumuah prayers here on Friday. We understood none of the Portuguese, yet the Arabic lecture and quotes from the Holy Quraan and Ahaadieth were so much like home and made us feel welcome. Even after the prayers were completed, we were invited to share in a meal which serves halaal meat, something absent conpletely from any food around Rio. The meat and chicken was a welcome meal after eating vegetables and fish all week. The measly R$25 for the meal I imagine also is a contribution to the upkeep of the masjied, but such a wonderful gesture to bring the community together to share a meal. InshaAllah we pray this Muslim community grows from strength to strength, and we make dua that the Almighty Allah keeps this community in his mercy and blessings, InshaAllah. Attending this masjied for Jumuah prayers was the height of our visiting to Rio de January, algamdulillah
