"All thise Alfa are content creators, A real Alfa will never invite a comedian to the mosque. Masjid is not meant for content or to be cracking jokes!!! IT IS A PLACE OF WORSHIP NOT A PLACE OF CRACKING JOKES."

That was not a mosque, please don't implications yourself. That was Asalat Rahman muslim weekly gathering in south-east London. A mosque 🕌 is a serious place of worship where comedy is unacceptable
