Greening our mosques

WE travel quite often and frequently stop at mosques to say our prayers.

When we were in Kampung Terachi, Negri Sembilan, for an out-of-season durian sampling session in February, we prayed at the local mosque which is located in a valley and surrounded by padi fields. It was 3pm and a worker was filling holes in the wall of the mosque. He said he was doing it because air-conditioners would soon be installed in the mosque.
