Abbeychurch, and all people and organizations in the neighbourhood, have been invited to an Open House at Masjid Al-Iman this Sunday. This is the mosque tht serves the City of Victoria. The open house runs from 11:00 to 8:00 and anyone of any age, belief, background, and level of mobility is welcome to attend.
There will be guided tours of the mosque (masjid), talks about islamic science, history, culture, and art. There will also be workshops about wearing hijab and arabic calligraphy. Cultural refreshments will be available, and there will be folks on hand for an "ask a muslim" session.
The folks at Masjid Al-Iman have invited us to this open house event as an opportunity to de-mystify arabic and muslim culture and belief. No prior knowledge is needed, just an open mind and heart.
