A Sister’s First Step Into the Mosque - Guide for a Nervous Revert

Salam everyone, I’m a German revert sister and I’m about to visit a mosque for the first time ever. Kinda excited but honestly, also super nervous - I have no clue how to prepare. Here’s what’s buzzing in my head: 1. My city has a few mosques, but their sites don’t say much about which community or madhab they follow. How do you usually find out? 2. I’m thinking of going outside jamaat times, just to sit and pray quietly by myself. I’ve got this strong, almost emotional need to just be inside a mosque. Is that a thing people do, or are doors mainly open only during prayer times? 3. Should I call or message them beforehand, or is it fine to just turn up? 4. I used to think there’d be a separate women’s area to change into hijab and prayer clothes, but it looks like you’re supposed to come already covered. So what’s the right outfit to walk in with? 5. Feet situation: completely barefoot or is keeping socks okay? Do they have prayer mats there or should I bring my own? Also, can I use my phone on silent with earbuds to check qibla and follow along, or is that weird? 6. I’ve heard some places sort of discourage sisters from praying at the mosque. Is that something I might face in Germany? How can I tell if a mosque is sister-friendly - anything to spot on their site or when I call? Would love to hear from sisters who’ve already navigated this. Jazakum Allahu khairan. <3
