Islamic Exhibition at Makkah Masjid
May 5th and 6th Sisters only exhibition and lectures
May 7th - 11th All welcome
We will be holding the annual islamic exhibition at Makkah Masjid in the month of May this year, insha Allah. This event offers a fantastic opportunity to gain an insight into a Muslim faith organisation working hard to connect cultures and foster real community cohesion. Your attendance would be a tremendous boost for the volunteers involved and recognition of the efforts to reach out to all to improve community life.
The exhibits will include coins from the early Islamic period, as well as extracts from copies of the Holy Qur’an from the second and third centuries. There will also be information on display highlighting the vital role Islam and Muslims have played throughout the ages in the development of a variety of fields, including science, medicine and art.
In addition to the general exhibition, we are holding a special session for dignitaries and community leaders on Friday 9th May 2008 at 3:00pm. Our invitees include the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Leader of Leeds City Council, Church leaders, lecturers from Leeds University and Leeds Metropolitan University, representative from West Yorkshire Police and representatives from local primary care trusts. Also represented will be members from the voluntary, community and faith sector, interfaith organisations, local school heads and local councillors. We are also arranging to have local TV and press coverage for the event.
Please note that there will be a Sisters’ Exclusive Islamic Exhibition and lectures on 5th May and 6th May when the mosque will be solely managed by sisters and only sisters will be allowed in the mosque except for prayer times.
We look forward to seeing you at the exhibition!
