If you hail from South Africa you will soon discover that
we are indeed a rainbow nation – especially when it comes to the diverse places of worship. There are Jews,
Christians, Hindus and Muslims that all have their own churches, temples and
mosques. Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Temples and Mosques – there
is somewhere for everyone who’d like to devote, pray or meditate in his or her
own special and individual way.
Worshipping in South Africa:
Are you new to your city and not too sure where to go to
worship? Why not visit our Yowzit site to find out what others are saying about
what they think and believe regarding this aspect of their lives.
We have a plethora of Temples , Shuls and churches but
the Nizamiye Turkish
Masjid in Midrand which boasts impressive domes and soaring minarets – the
first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, is a landmark where you can get
lost in its fine architecture and which was opened by President Zuma in 2012. Over and
above the house of prayer, the Masjid includes a school for 850 learners, has
boarding facilities, a clinic, shops plus restaurant. Some of the architectural
marvels include courtyards, huge arched stained-glass windows, and little domes
– to mention a couple of the interesting features. The splendidly
ornamented Nizamiye Turkish Masjid has been designed to accommodate 3500 worshippers.
There is also a huge basement-level dining and conference hall with a stage for
public events.
Religion in Nigeria:
·
Christianity is perhaps the most popular
religion practiced in Nigeria which was introduced to this country by
missionaries from Britain.
·
Due to the establishment of hospitals which
was a huge draw-card to the natives, Christianity soon became part of the lives
of many Nigerians since.
·
Most interesting of all is that there are in
excess of 50 million Christians in Nigeria although there are many Nigerians
that are practicing Muslims, too.
Religion in India:
·
Of special interest is that India is known as
the birthplace of philosophy and spirituality as well as being the land of many
religions.
·
About 80% of all Indians are Hindus, although
Indians are also practicing Christians, Muslims, and Sikhs among other
religions.
If you are looking for places of worship in South Africa, Nigeria or India – you will
indeed be spoilt for choice.
Visiting the reviews of others should take away
the edge of confusion, pointing you in the right direction. There is a place of
worship for every religion; all you need to do is read the reviews of others on
our site to find out more.
