Thousand Muslims on Friday held a special prayer at Kowloon Mosque for return of peace to Hong Kong,
The faithfuls prayed for the city’s harmony, hoping people with different opinions will reconcile with one another.
The Incorporated Trustees of the Islamic Community Fund of Hong Kong said they held special prayer as they want the city to become calm again. It said around 4,000 people took part in the event.
The chairman of the group, Zoheir Tyebkhan said he hopes Allah would forgive the sins and grant their wish.
"Hong Kong has always been a very, very peaceful place and we would like it to continue that way," he said. "I think all of us living here want peace in Hong Kong."
A student – of Pakistani origin, but who was born here – who was among the group said he prayed for the safety of everyone, including protesters and policemen.
He said he hoped fighting between them will stop and Hong Kong will become a happy city again.
