The public are invited to attend four Blackburn Mosques on Sunday February 18 for Visit My Mosque day.
Opening their doors are Lammack Prayer Room, Masjid e Sajedeen, Masjid al-Hidayah and Masjid e Anwaar. Residents of Blackburn and Darwen are invited to go along for a brew and to learn more about the Muslim faith.
There will be an opportunity to explore the Mosques and to observe Muslim prayer, with free books and leaflets provided and plenty of chance to ask questions.
Visit My Mosque day is a national initiative facilitated by the Muslim Council of Britain. Over 200 mosques across the UK are holding open days. Thousands will attend to learn about the Islamic faith and Muslims’ life in the UK. The aim of the day is to encourage community cohesion and to strive for a more enlightened appreciation of Islam and Muslims in society. Further information is available at www.visitmymosque.org
