Paris Exhibition Celebrates Mosques, While Ohio School Focuses on Quran Hifz
————————————–
Daily Sabah and IQNA have reported on recent cultural and religious developments in the Muslim Community that highlight the vibrant nature of Islam.
An exhibition titled “Mosques in Islam” has opened in Paris, France, celebrating the rich architectural history and profound cultural significance of mosques around the globe, as reported by Daily Sabah.
The exhibition features the evolution of mosque architecture from its earliest, simplest forms in the first century of Islam to the complex and magnificent structures of the modern era. It highlights mosques not merely as religious buildings, but as vital hubs for community life, education, and artistic expression. The displays focus on how Islamic civilization has contributed significantly to global architecture and urban design through these structures. The event is positioned as a platform for cultural exchange and dialogue in the European capital, fostering a broader appreciation of the global reach of Islamic art and history.
In a contrasting but related focus on Islamic education, a school in Mason, Ohio, United States, is actively teaching its students to achieve Hifz (memorization of the entire Holy Quran), according to the International Quran News Agency (IQNA).
This initiative allows Muslim students in the diaspora to pursue deep religious learning alongside their standard academic curriculum. By committing to the memorization of the Quran, the school aims to ensure the preservation and accurate transmission of Islamic scripture to the next generation. The program underscores the community’s commitment to maintaining their religious identity and knowledge base within a Western educational context.
