mosques which will open their doors today include mosques in Naperville
A leading Chicago Muslim organization has announced plans for hosting open day on Sunday in several mosques around the city, offering answers to anyone curious to learn about Islam.
The mosques which will open their doors today include mosques in Naperville, Wheaton, Des Plaines and Libertyville. Some of the mosques, or worship centers, have hosted open houses in the past, but this is the first year the organization has helped coordinate Open Mosque Day, a larger, more unified effort to invite non-Muslims into mosques. Mosques in Northbrook, Morton Grove and Chicago will also open their doors to guests who are welcome during the opened hours. Those visitors, Muslims and non-Muslims, will be greeted by volunteers who will offer short tours of the mosques, which vary in size and greatness. Short presentations and Q&A sessions will take place at all the mosques, to give visitors a chance to learn more Islam, mosques and Muslims.
