The presentation is tailored to the level of audience knowledge/familiarity of Islam. The length of presentation is determined by the host but normally ranges from 15-30 minutes, followed by Q&A session. |

The doors of our mosque are always open to anyone who is interested in learning more about Islam. We've hosted individuals, students and groups from churches and other institutions. Typically, we start with a brief presentation about Islam, followed by Q&A, observation of the prayer (and Sermon if it's on a Friday) and close with the tour of the mosque. |

| Our monthly program called "Inside Islam" continues to bring in people from different background who are interested in learning more about Islam & its many aspects. Through this program, we aim to explain Islam in a friendly and structured way, while allowing the guests to interact with Muslims. We want people to see Islam in its true light, to put a human face to an otherwise foreign concept and to educate people about one of the world's greatest but widely misunderstood religion. Classes are FREE and open to people of all faiths. |

The Muslim Community Association (MCA) hosts a major open house once a year bringing together hundreds of people of all faiths to learn about Islam. After the tragedy of 911, there was a surge of interest in learning about Islam and these open houses have worked well in educating the community and eliminating common stereotypes about Islam and Muslims. This program has been attended by political and interfaith leaders, the media, colleagues, friends and neighbors. |
