An important appeal by @asadowaisi , ahead of the reopening of religious places, in most cities of India 👇. - Maintain social distancing.- Wear a mask .-Carry your own prayer mats.-Do ablutions at home. Listen 🎶.
As mosques reopen tomorrow, we'll be eager to pray together again. However, we cannot ignore that #covid19 isn't going anywhere & we should take some precautions: .-Encourage elders & those with chronic illnesses to avoid the mosque.-Maintaining distance between 2 namazis
