AssalamuAlaikum,
Please let me know of any Mosques in Suwon area.
Jazakallahu Khair.
Hello,
Thank you for visiting our guide website.
We are only counseling around Gwangju Metropolitan city and its neighborhoods which belong to Jeollanam province.
Suwon belongs to Gyunggi province which is out of our charge. You may mistake Gwangju Metropolitan City of Jeollanam province with Gwangju city of Gyunggi province.
Please check it again and hope you would find the information.
As salaamualaikum
Please could you advise how I could get from Bak – Gu to the Dawaah Centre to perform salaah.
How far is it from Bak-Gu to the Dawaah Centre.
I would appreciate the bus route as well as the bus number

There is no Bak-gu in Gwangju. Do you mention about Buk-gu? There is not Dawaah either. Please check again if you have typed accurate words and get back to us so that we find the bus for you. You can write the venue in Korean for exact information.
1. May I know how far is the Gwangju Islamic Da’Wah Center with Chonnam National University if I take bus?
2.Is the halal food that you sell is raw?
Thank you for visiting our site! The mosque is not that far from CNU, it is probably about 20 minutes away from Chonnam University Back Gate. The halal food there are frozen raw meat^^ Hope this info is useful.

Asslamualaikum..How can i get to the mosque by taxi? I will travel from Chipyeong-dong, Seo-gu, Gwangju. Any instruction should i inform the driver or my hotel representative?. Thanks.
Welcome to Gwangju. You should write down the address in Korean and show it to a taxi driver: 북구 양산동, 284-13 광주이슬람다화센터, (우마르 빈 카탑 성원)
It would be better if you also print the map of its location
