The event lets people learn about Islam in an open and less stressful environment, Nabil A. Bayakly, an event organizer and co-founder of the Muslim in Memphis, told media.

The event was informative to many visitors, including Neve Valentine, 18 and Connar Foote, 19, both college students who became friends at Arlington High School in the Tennessean city.
