Molawi Abdol-Samad Khani is the imam of the prayer-house.<br \/>\nTalking to \u201cSunniOnline\u201d exclusively, a muqtadi (member) of Salman Farsi prayer-house said, \u201cThe personnel of the municipality who were escorted by some security men blocked the worship place of us. It was made 13 years ago for offering prayers in congregation.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe prayer-house was very small and only 20 worshipers could offer prayers there. Few weeks ago we contacted the municipality authorities and paid some money to extend its building. Despite taking care of the regulations and official permission, the authorities blocked the prayer-house,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nThe Sunni citizen underlined, \u201cWe used to only offer prayers in the prayer-house; there was not any other activity. Even Friday and Eid prayers were not offered in the prayer-house.\u201d<br \/>\nThe member of the sealed prayer-house told \u2018SunniOnline\u2019; \u201cThere are two mosques of Sunnis in Tajerabad, but they are away from us. It is regrettable the authorities only seal our place of worship but they have no problem with two illegal houses which are under construction in the same street as well as two ganglands of the drug addicts near the prayer-house.\u201d<br \/>\nIt is noteworthy some months ago the imam of Masjid al-Nabi in the same area was arrested while carrying some books of the Sunni schools. \u2018Molawi Abdol-Rasheed Abtin\u2019 then was released by the condition to avoid any kind of religious and cultural activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the Sunni prayer-houses in Mashhad city was sealed by the personnel of the municipality on Monday 23rd May, 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":6024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[87,31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-choice","category-c58-ahl-al-sunna-in-iran"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
