University Students Visit the Islamic House of Wisdom
Yesterday, October 8, 2014: More than 30 students from various US universities stopped by in Michigan today to visit a mosque, a church and a synagogue. We welcomed them at the IHW. Two hours of friendly and heartfelt conversation. Questions and answers from Islam and Christianity, the Bible and the Quran, the role of the mosque in this country, the position of Islam towards violence and terrorism, the cancer of ISIS and other Takfiri and terrorist groups, the rights of non-Muslims in Muslim countries, the evil of Islamophobia, the question of hijab and modesty, youth challenges, Islam's approach to women's rights and tens of other questions. There was an endless thirst and desire in the students to continue the conversation. We said goodbye to the satisfied souls. It was a great pleasure to experience their eagerness to continue the vision of bridge building and strengthening the covenant of human dignity through calling for peace and justice in the world.
Shortly after they left, we received a text message from Dr. Diane- the coordinator of the visit saying in part " Imam Elahi: Thank you for the excellent program today. the students were thrilled and i am very pleased!"
Wishing Diane and her wonderful students a pleasant and safe trip. May God be with them, where ever they are!
