MOSQUES THANK NEIGHBORS

Mosques thank their Neighbors

 The Shura Council thanks more than twenty eight of its member Mosques who hosted thousands of fellow southern Californians this past weekend at the annual Open Mosque Day. While we gather details from the participating Mosques we like to thank all the visitors who were able to avail Open Mosque Day. Click here to view photos from some of the participating Mosques.


 
One visitor wrote this ... "I LOVED the presentation and LEARNED so much. We left knowing that we share many beliefs with the Islamic faith and feeling great admiration for and fellowship with the Muslim community." (Jan H.)
