Open Mosque Day 2023
Open Mosque Day 2023 is the weekend of October 21 and 22, says a Shura Council message. It adds: This is a great time to visit your Muslim neighbors. We now have a list of open Mosques available on our website which is updated regularly.
This is the 21st Annual Open Mosque Day started in 2002 in response to the Islamophobia following 9/11. Mosques open their doors to show their communities the beauty of Islam, share ethnic cuisine, give Mosque tours, and educate attendees about Muslims and Islam. – Shura Council |
