Salaam’s Three-Step Program for Mutual Understanding
Awareness Events
We facilitate interactive workshops at community groups, churches, and civic clubs. Our Muslim speakers cover the basics of Islam and answer the tough questions about the role of women, jihad, and Sharia Law.
Mosque Visits
Non-Muslims often think they are not welcome in a Mosque, and may have fears and misconceptions about what takes place inside. Salaam facilitates first-time mosque visits for individuals and groups. We’ll prep you for the cultural nuances and walk you through your first time visit. If the Iman’s schedule permits, we’ll get a full tour.
People to People
