HX 46 in Dublin

06/05/2025: A very blessed & beautiful experience at the ICCI in Dublin, Ireland. I prayed for more than 10 years consistently in this masjeed under Sheikh Hussain Halawa. The Friday prayers & Ramadan Tharawih prayers were very beautiful. There was free Iftaar meal for the public, very delicious Biriyani. The restaurant Golden Olive at the masjeed, serves amazing delicious international cuisine.

05/05/2025: i used to study in dublin and have often visited since. this masjid was the primarily masjid i would visit apart from the dublin mosque on south circular road. i used to really love it. it’s very beautiful and clean. there are often activities and there is a library on site where you can study or do work as you like. it’s truly a community space. the restaurant and shop are truly provisions that are inviting to the community and show this is more than just a place of worship, it’s a place of community. however! the management has been … difficult in my recent visits. i’m not someone who often visits masajid when i am not in prayer, but last ramadan i was in the upstairs women’s musallah when a woman who had authority from the masjid violently grabbed me by arm and yanked me out after finding out i was not in prayer. the room was not full, nor was i in anyone’s way. i was simply waiting for my friends to finish taraweeh as i was staying with them. this came at the opinion of the imam. i’ve never experienced this at any masjid i’ve ever been to subhanAllah. i think management at the masjid tends to be mildly aggressive and stern, which i wish could be kinder and within good faith. the entire situation has made me anxious about ever visiting the masjid again as i felt extremely humiliated and never received an apology from the woman for how disrespectful she was.
