Invite non-Muslims to mosque 'open days'
I not long ago review about a fair by a mosque in Kota Damansara. I hold this is a great step to have mosques closer to a community, instead of being viewed as a venue to one side for a five every day prayers.
However, I hope which in future, such carnivals would additionally entice all members of public, together with a non-Muslims, so which they can see for themselves a role of a mosque as well as sense Islam.
Just telling non-Muslims which Islam is a official sacrament is not great publicity. Mosques yield a great passage to strech out to non-Muslims. The aim is not to modify them, but to have them assimilate Islam as a beautiful religion. It is additionally not taboo in Muslim history for non-Muslims to visit mosques.
In many countries, a Muslim village hold "open day" in their mosques, as well as a large series of visitors to such events have been non-Muslims. This is a great step to forge great relationship opposite communities, as Islam as well as Prophet Muhammad have been "blessings for mankind" as a Qur'anic hymn goes. It is a empathize which there has been no identical initiative in Malaysia. One wonders if this can additionally be politicised!
The need to have mosques open to non-Muslim visitors is all a more consequential in Malaysia, where a section of non-Muslims who live amid a sound of a five every day Azans. Other than this, they have no idea what a mosque is all about!
There have been additionally mosques which lay in neighborhoods which have been infancy non-Muslims.
How beautiful if mosque committees in these neighbourhoods move a mosque to a larger village so which Islam earns the rightful place as a sacrament of assent as well as for all mankind?
