  Huge masjid with a large space for women. Attended jummah on Friday- lovely long khutbah was delivered in Swahili and Arabic to a packed masjid yet it was peaceful.

  The mosque gave me Masjd Al-Haram vibe on Friday. The lecture was powerfully delivered in Swahili and Arabic Languages. I really admired and appreciated the imam.

  Scam alert - I was sitting inside and within 15 minutes, 3 different person approached me with the same/similar stories asking for money. I gave some money to the 1st man and got suspicious when the 2nd man told the similar story. I told the 3rd man that I heard this story twice already and he left immediately. I believe, all of them were lying (yes, inside the mosque). Open day - The place was holding and open day for non-muslims to come and learn more about Islam. Really appreciate the such event.

  Jamia mosque is a kenyan national memorial place and very beautiful place for islam prayers and community helping. I like it visiting because it is a calm environment and relaxing. I hope for those who did not go they will visit one day and experience it.

  Thought would be an enjoyable visited ended up scammed by 2 men. When I entered the mosque, was welcomed by a man (I think he is the security) wearing a shirt and something like a maroon sleeveless vest with 4 numbers on the shoulder plate area. He was so friendly asked me where I was from and brought me around the mosque. I declined politely and he insisted, and almost toured the downstairs and upstairs of the entire mosque and even tried to explain every poster and painting on the wall, brought me to see the admin offices and the library. I thought I would spend like 10 minutes but ended up staying for an hour. Just before I was about to leave, he signaled for another guy to approach and the guy came forward and handled me a piece of paper and asked for donation. It seemed like a useless piece of paper with names of people and amount, with people like giving 3000-4000 Shillings. I wanted to give 1000 and he said it was too little, so I ended up giving 1500, and they had the audacity to split the money in front of me 1 took 1000 and the other 500 and placed into their pockets. Then the security asked me if I would like to tip him for the tour. I was thinking how much I should tip him, so I looked into my money pouch and started to dig the small notes. He probably heard me swiping the notes with my fingers and then he just suddenly pulled my hand out and grabbed whatever amount was on my hand and said thank you. What a HORRIBLE experience to be doing such things in the house of God! Tourists place exercise caution and reject any requests to be brought around, and donation should be done in boxes and not any piece of paper which looks like trash!
