This Sunday, October 29th is National Open Mosque Day. This is an annual event where Mosques open their doors to their neighbors and surround community.  

If you've never been to a Mosque, you may want to find out what a Mosque is and if you decide to visit a Mosque, here are some guidelines. To see a video of an Open Mosque Day, click here. 

We invite you to visit a Mosque in your community. To find one, follow this link. If your Mosque is participating and not listed, contact us.

Lastly, for Mosques, Muslim Speakers Network (MSN) can provide your center with a Certified Speaker, trained to give presentations about Islam and to answer FAQs from people of other faiths.  MSN speakers will be present at the following centers for Open Mosque Day:

If any Mosque would like to request a certified MSN speaker to assist during Open Mosque Day, please contact us at  info@muslimspeakersnetwork.org or call 562-600-0676, before Friday at 3 pm in order to schedule a speaker in your area.

For over 20 years, Shura Council has been an integral part of the community. Shura Council has been your organization from its beginning. 

Our programs include:

Prison Outreach Program (POP), where we provide educational materials for inmates on Islam in California's prisons and county jails. POP also has dedicated volunteers who give classes, perform Jummah prayer, and provide comfort to incarcerated Muslims.

Muslim Speakers Network (MSN) is an educational program that trains community members to present Islam to public schools, community groups, civic groups, etc. to promote religious literacy and interfaith dialogues.

Recently, we started Young Inspirers where we train college graduates and young adults to be tomorrow's leaders.
