The truth is that there are memories that bounds me to the ‘Basaa’r’ mosque. I remember when I moved to my house, the mosque was built on a foundation of palm trees, and the water used to be drawn from the private well through ‘Alsanawah’, which is a bag made of leather and is hanged by a thick rope. This bag is then dropped down to the well and is pulled out by a man who ties the rope around his waste, this man is called ‘Alsani’. Today, this mosque infrastructure has completely changed and the water comes through pipes, and that is all through God’s blessing.
There are other memories that connects us to Al-Salam Neighbourhood, especially in the month of Ramadan. During this month, there would be gatherings for Quran recitation in the mosques open yards, and where candy is sold and distributed and this continues until late hours at night. These gatherings continue until the 28th of Ramadan, to then start the preparation for Eid celebration!
