Visit a Mosque Day

Posted on Wednesday, March 1, 2017 6:35 pm
What

The Atlanta Muslim Community has organized a city-wide #VisitAMosqueATL day on Saturday, March 11th where area mosques will open their doors to the general public. Although most mosques are always open to the public, this is a chance for individuals and groups to enjoin in a casual setting with Muslims from their neighborhoods.

All mosques that have the capacity & experience holding open houses are invited to join the effort. There is no command & control structure, but rather an independent effort by each mosque. Each mosque will be responsible for how well they run their open house

When

Saturday, March 11, 3 to 6 PM

Why

Our goal is to strengthen communication and understanding across communities and allow people of different faiths to get to know one another on a more personal level. We hope that this is one of many events that you all will join us in to help foster a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood in our communities. Together, we can encourage people of all faiths to learn more about each other and build relationships, which will ultimately strengthen our communities.

Where

Open House will be held at participating mosques. Please note: This is not the final list. This page is being updated regularly as more mosques confirm. For more information please email Rosemin@AtlantaMuslim.com

Burial Will Workshop

Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2017 9:58 am

We will be having a Burial Will Workshop on Sunday, Jan 29 at 11:15 am at the second floor library. We will explain the process that takes place after a person's death and will go over the simple Burial Will that will be completed during the workshop. A notary will be present on site who will help complete the document. 

Please attend to complete the will for free. This is especially important if you are the only Muslim in your family or you do not have any other family in town. However, all Muslims are encouraged to have this document completed to ensure we are able to perform Islamic rites such as ghusl, janazah and burial in an Islamic cemetery if someone was to pass away. 

Note: The burial will only describes what must take place after a person's death in terms of the preparation of the body and burial. It does not contain any inheritance information.
