Khosro Hosseini - IRNA foreign news correspondent.
🔹 In one of the neighborhoods of the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, there is a mosque whose doors are open not only to worshippers; There the women of the neighborhood cook food, hundreds of small vendors find the opportunity to sell their products, the needy are supported and people go to the mosque to solve some of their daily problems. The experience of the Jogkarian Mosque shows how a religious center can be turned into one of the main social and economic life centers of the neighborhood; An issue that becomes more important in light of the president's emphasis on neighborhood governments and mosques in Iran.
