events mean, I was this time please follow the "Islamic Center , cultural, educational and social ", better known as the Mosque El Mouhssinine Saint-Gilles located on the street in Sweden . A place of worship formerly chaired by the Franco-Moroccan Kissi Benjelloul , vice president of the Muslim Executive of Belgium (EMB), now imprisoned due to suspicions of forgery, forgery and breach of trust he allegedly committed as part of his duties. Today, the former chairman of the mosque El Mouhssinine is not only pursued by the Brussels prosecutor for false invoices to the EMB but also by his former followers who accuse him of embezzlement in connection with collection for the benefit of Palestine. Suffice to say that the atmosphere is not very positive at this time on the streets of Sweden.
Can not miss the mosque at the peak hour of prayers since the place hosts some 1,000 to 2,000. The main entrance is a huge garage door still, the men take the right door while the women get on the floor opening the door on the left. Upon entering, you pass a "receiving office" where leaders "screenent" customers while discussing current events. A series of movable shelves on left side to receive the shoes, but avoid walking on carpet to get there because of the faithful pray later on the smallest piece of carpet available. A staircase on the right gives access to the ablution room in the basement. Down, you can read several times in French and Arabic poetic mosaics saying "Toilets". Once down, hygiene leaves something to be desired frankly: bags of garbage and stench accompany your workout body purification. But in this big room with toilets and faucets with warm water, we can already share a first prayer: " Please do not use much water " aaammmiiiinnn!
Furnished by six small libraries in the Koran, the great prayer hall is divided into two parts equipped with air conditioning system and three chandeliers. God is light ... especially the part close to the Imam in chief Abidin Zin , a fairly charismatic bearded spiritual leader of Egyptian origin who speaks only classical Arabic. Stance and style reminiscent of talk show Qatari channel Al Jazeera. He repeats several times the same chorus with an energy and passion sweating.
" Mouhssinine El" means "benefactors" or " donors " and precisely during this meeting, 9 servers wander through the mass of the faithful to collect donations in a plastic bag. No compulsion in religion, no one forces you to play the game even if it is always better to leave a few coins. Those who leave a ticket are entitled to special mention in the speech of the Imam-in-chief. Tonight, for example, Abidin Zin call the faithful to pray for a sick with at Erasme Hospital, another man died before the final prayer and a woman with family problems but no special prayer for any accused to the Forest Prison.
The mosque is frequented almost exclusively by Muslims of Moroccan origin. After the 1992 riots at the Parvis St Antoine and instead Bethlehem, the place of worship has been a wide development activities by adding "cultural, educational and social" in its range of services in order to respond (based on communal leaders) needs of young North Africans revolt.
Today, the crowd s'empacte difficult to follow musically prayer recited by a second officer. Like football, shoulder against shoulder, there is no fault but you have to impose a minimum in this duel very spiritual. Full house, should therefore carefully follow the rhythm of prayer at the risk of knocking, like me, your neighbor.
Conducted by a moment Benjelloul Kissi, who combined this function with the presidency of the Union of Mosques in Brussels and Brabant, El Mouhssinine mosque has long been the preserve of the PS Saint-Gilles. During the elections of 2000, the authorities have even set up a computer to "explain" voting Muslims to the mosque. Close to the Moroccan Abbes Guenned of (former Mr. Onkelinx), Charles Piqué and Laurette Onkelinx, Kissi Benjelloul was quickly able to take full control of the EMB (despite its electoral defeat) causing early elections supervised by a committee "indépendate" composed of the researcher Bousetta Hassan (who will join later PS) of Öz Ayse , two judges and an expert from the Ministry of Interior. Continued today by many faithful which Mimoun Ayada , former president of the mosque El Mouhssinine and for the false invoices submitted to the EMB, the current Vice-Chairperson of the cult leader (suspended from his duties at the unanimously) passes through difficult times deprived of his liberty in the month of Ramadan. No comment on these topics too political and controversial in the mosque El Mohssinine the faithful prefer to concentrate on the recitation of sacred texts, imploring the blessing and forgiveness of Allah.
