For the biggest Cham village in Vietnam, who follow Islamic- muslim, Chau Giang has 3 famous mosque with beautiful structure.
1. Masjid Al Ehsan
Masjid Al Ehsan was build in 1937. The canals that flow quietly alongside the border town of Chau Doc, are all tributaries which feed the Mighty Mekong River.The Cham Muslim people have made these backwaters their home .The Masjid Al Ehsan lies riverside ,the treasured heart of their community. White domed and marble tiled tranquility offers respite from the heat and bustle of the thronging markets that lie on the shores near-by.Small childern learn to write up the Korans tenets in Arabic script,I am informed by an aged gent we met whilst sojourning there...here in this town at the meeting point of two largely Buddhist countries..Cambodia and Vietnam. Masjid Al Ehsan, through whose arched windows one can stare off into the marshy fields of the Mekong,is a destination most worthy!
2. Mubarak
3. Jamiul Azhar
The biggest and most fabulos mosque in Chau Giang as well as in Vietnam. Jamiul Azhar mosque was built in 1959.
Normally, The hajj — Arabic for “pilgrimage” — is a five-day religious pilgrimage to Mecca and nearby holy sites in Saudi Arabia that all Muslims who are physically and financially able must perform at least once in their lives. However in Vietnam, Cham people choose to go to big Mosque in Chau Giang.
