Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim came to the Al Nour Mosque in Hamburg for the first Friday prayer. Things quickly became political during the sermon.

The mosque used to be a Protestant church and was rebuilt a few years ago. “Allah” can now be read in Arabic script on the former church tower. The Friday prayer is an important prayer for every Muslim, and then it's also Ramadan, says the mosque's imam, Samir El-Rajab.
