Muslim in Japan

Muslims gather in Japan gather at Tokyo Mosque and Turkish Culture Center in Ramadan, the holy month of Islam.

Tokyo Mosque's and Turkish Culture Center's Imam, Tokyo Mosque not only served as a place of worship but at the same time social activities were carried out there as a culture center.

The people hosted fast breaking dinner for 150 people every day since last year, adding that particularly Turkish meals were served there.

Non-Muslim Japans also attended fast-breaking dinner.

The mosque met many needs of the Japanese Muslims and at the same time many scientific meetings and conferences were organized at the mosque.

The sermons were made in Japanese, Turkish and English at the mosque, "this is what discriminates Tokyo mosque from the other mosques," he noted.

Tokyo Mosque was constructed by Turkey in the Ottoman-Turkish architecture and one of the unique works of art in architectural sense.
