Christian delegation from Arizona attended the Friday prayer at IHW-
This is one of the blessings to receive even the non-Muslims who are thirsty of truth to attend the Friday prayers.
Last Friday, a group of sincere sisters and brothers from an Arizona church attended IHW's Friday prayer and sermons. Following the prayer they joined the imam Elahi in his office for more than an hour of conversation, questions and answers. The guests were extremely impressed with the mosque humble and heartfelt welcoming and hospitality.

The group held their annual meeting at the Islamic House of Wisdom to discuss ways to improve the West Detroit neighborhoods. Representatives of the association, some elected officials and representatives of the police department participated in the meeting. The group chose to meet at the Islamic House of Wisdom because of its safe, accessible and open atmosphere.
