Most people are curious towards a Mosque (Muslim house of worship), especially since many of them have never had the opportunity of entering one. Currently, there are many Mosques which are open to non-Muslim visits, yet only little organized effort is made to explain Islam to the tourists entering such Mosques. As such, a wonderful opportunity is being missed for giving "Dawa" (guidance) to such visitors. This guide aims to assist Muslim organizations and individuals in explaining to others the Muslim way of life as they visit a Mosque. It details the specific subjects, wording and tone required to relate Islamic concepts to non-Muslim minds entering this new realm. The guide also helps tackle questions Muslims may find awkward, but nevertheless have been found to commonly present themselves in such situations. It - in truth - presents a culmination of experiences of many individuals working many years in this very field. Your brother: Bassam Bokhowa (compiler and publisher) tobassam@hotmail.com
