I know a lot of people are curious as to what happens inside a mosque.
And maybe you're too shy to walk in and just look.
So today, I'll take you inside and I'll show you exactly what happens.
And it doesn't matter if you're at the largest mosque here in India, Jama Masjid
or you're at a small mosque in New Zealand.
It's all the same.
Okay so before you enter the mosque, you always have to take off your shoes.
So we're here in Delhi.. so we're going to give our shoes to this guy and he'll look after them.
Alright, we're inside the mosque now and I don't have a religion. I'm not a Muslim.
But I've been to a mosque enough times with my Muslim friends too, you know... and pray with them.
And I know enough to know what happens here.
And I was so shocked by the Christchurch terrorist attack that
I wanted to make something to help people better understand what is happening at the mosques in their community.
The Prophet says that cleanliness is half of faith.
So when you come here to the mosque, before you enter the mosque, before you pray,
you have to wash your body. You have to become clean.
You can come here to the pool. There will always be somewhere to wash at a mosque.
And wash your feet, wash your hands, wash your face, your hair...
your ears... everything.
Makes you nice and clean before you go into the mosque.
So now that we're all clean, we can present ourselves in front of God.
And if you're gonna visit a mosque, make sure you're wearing... you're like fully covered like this now.
And there are separate places for male and females to pray.
So make sure you go to the right section of the mosque.
What's gonna happen next is the call for prayer and this call for prayer is gonna be blasted out across the neighborhood
from big speakers.
And this just lets people in the vicinity know it's time to come for namaz.
It's time to come and pray.
Alright we've taken our seats.
Now we're ready for namaz.
And what's gonna happen is there's gonna be a number of postures
that we'll take while praying and while the Imam, while the priest, is praying.
And then at the end of the prayers, the best part is when you turn to your left, when you turn to your right,
you turn to the guys next to you and you greet them with Assalam Alaikum.
The main prayer ceremony is over now.
The people are just hanging around and just doing some more prayers as well.
Usually you just go through the prayers twice and then everybody leaves.
But a lot of people will stay behind and go through the prayer routine a few more times.
So that's it. A mosque is simply just a place where people come and pray.
And anybody from any religion can come to a mosque and find a quiet place and pray to their God.
It doesn't matter. They're really inclusive here and
they'll treat you like a brother or a sister when you get here.
And if you come during Ramadan, when they break their fast at night,
you'll be treated to like chicken biryani.
And you know, it's really quite an experience to sit around after prayers and eat with your friends
out of this one big bowl you'll all share the food.
It's a beautiful thing. I really enjoy coming to the mosques.
Assalam Alaikum and Jai Hind!
Back outside the mosque now and you realize the peacefulness in the mosque when you get back on these Indian streets.
It's just crazy here in Old Delhi.
If you want to see me going around Old Delhi
and meeting some wrestlers here who absolutely beat the hell out of me,
check out my wrestling in the Old Delhi video. It's hilarious.
