Salam, juz now i prayed Friday prayer at my uni, UNSW. Unfortunately, we prayed in an open space in front of Law building which people passing by. UNSW didn't provide us any proper room or place that special only for the Muslim to pray Friday prayer. Most of the Muslim here are international students and we pay a lot of money for university's tuition fees, but is this all we got? Different from the local, they only pay small amount to study here but we pay nearly 400k per year. UNSW should provide us with proper place to pray, especially on Friday because there will be many Muslim comes to pray in Uni. It is really annoying when we were praying, then someone shout or talk loudly while they were passing by. We have patience for too long, about 5 years but still, UNSW didn't do anything. We also have push and ask them to provide us with proper place, but no actions are taken. Just now, we need to pray on the grass, under the bright sun ray, and hot, listened to the khutbah given with a stereo speaker turned on, and while hearing it, people passing by and make noise and try to mock the khutbah given. Its really hard for us to continue being like this. All we ask is just some of our money being contributed to the construction or bigger place for us to pray with peace. I know people still think Muslim as a bad person, or a terrorist that if being provided with such space, we will do some kind of meeting to destroy UNSW or something. Ohh, please just realize, if we wanna do that, we have done it long time ago. We're not a terrorist nor some kind of cruel people. Islam doesn't teach us like that. Ask any non-Muslim that are close to us, how are we. We never ever do anything to hurt others, please don't just accept the news that we are violent or some other things that try to bad-mouth us, find the truth behind it, who actually were to be blamed and you will come to find that Muslim has nothing to do with it. We are all educated people, and we know how to conduct research properly, use that sort of skills to find the truth about Islam. I'm sure, you will be happy to find that Islam is such a nice religion, have a nice people, and we welcome everyone to join us. Lastly, I really hope that UNSW will again, really consider us to have a proper place to pray Friday prayer, there are a lot of Muslim having difficulties to pray and I can be sure, if all of us stop studying in UNSW, your profit will drop heavily, but we didn't do that, coz we believe, one day, u will realize it yourself and treat all of us equally. U have treated other religion well by giving all they want, but why not Muslim? Don't be some kind of discriminator against innocent people. Hope we will hear a good news. Thanks.
