There is the "Turkish" mosque near our office, I pray the Friday prayers there. Most of those who pray there are even Turks. The sermon of the imam in Turkish, the speech from the pulpit mostly Arabic. now called the Imam of the mosque last Friday for donations for the mosque, as do many. He said in Turkish, that the additional costs such as electricity, water and the rent would be paid for and also help smaller amounts of assistance would. Someone asked the Board to make it this call also in German. And the Imam said in perfect, accent-free German, the importance of support and said the cost of electricity, water, rent and so on. As reported, an approximately 50 year old brother (probably from the Balkans) from the front row to speak and said, "Brother, I'm coming for more than 15 years for Friday prayers in this mosque. When it comes to the electricity bill, then you can suddenly speak German. About Islam in the years I have not heard anything in German in this mosque. Why can you at least less than 10 minutes to tell a little German, so that we and our children understand that? If you do that, then the Electricity is no problem. We'll get back together, "The Imam, the situation was clearly embarrassed and he said:". You're right brother, we will change this in the next few weeks inshallah "
An important reason for the Islam and Muslims in Germany, almost. half a century are still perceived as foreign , is that Muslims foster this image of "otherness" in large part itself. And a major hurdle, why there is little progress in the unity of Muslims in this country is that the language is not German in the communities . It seems that still (too) many, still not in Germany, have arrived thus not in reality.
The reality of the situation in society is of course reflected in the final revelation of Allah: "And We have sent not a messenger except in the language of his people, for him to (the message) makes it clear .... "(Quran 14:4)
