INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT FROM A TOURIST


Interviewer : Shalini a/p Vijayakumaran
Interviewee: Ashven John (tourist)


Q: How would you describe the mosque you just entered?
A: I would describe it as a place of contemplation and spiritual.
Q: How did you feel when you entered the mosque?
A: As soon as I entered the mosque, a feeling of serenity, calmness and a sense of being in the ‘House of God’ brought about recognition of the Creator.
Q: What was your purpose of choosing this mosque?
A: To experience temporary sense of peace.
Q: Did you find anything strange or not to your culture like in there?
A: Yes, I noticed when we entered the mosque was that men and women stayed in separate rooms with the men in front and women at the back. I found the arrangement a bit strange but got explained that one of the reasons for segregation was to ensure that there will be lesser distractions during the prayer.
