05/09/14: Delegation from Lawrence University, Wisconsin visits the IHW
May 9, 2014: Professor Martyn Smith, a religious studies professor of Lawrence University in Wisconsin with a group of mainly Christian students attended the Friday prayers and listened to the Friday sermons of imam Elahi.
Following the prayer, Hajja Jennifer Elahi gave a tour of the mosque to the guests. The professor and his delegation then met with the imam in his office where they had a long conversation with questions and answers.
At the end of this friendly and serious dialogue, the students expressed their pleasure of their first ever mosque experience in Michigan. The active movements of the nature of prayer in Islam, sense of unity and connection in the prayer, and the link between the imam's weekly message with the current events nationally and internationally, were only part of what had impressed the professor and the students of Lawrence university.
The guests, imam, his wife and some members of IHW shared a light lunch together!
