Learn more about Islam at Gwinnett County mosque
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Georgia is holding a free event, “Coffee, Cake & Islam,” to help people learn more about the faith.
There will be a discussion about Islam and a question and answer session. The event will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Baitul Ata Mosque, 1800 Willow Trail Parkway in Norcross.
The purpose of the program, which is part of a national campaign, is to help non-Muslims understand more about Islam. “The intention is to not only demystify people’s misconceptions, but also to build strong relationships with our neighbours in our shared commitment to peace-building,” said Kaleem Bhatti, secretary for public education for the Georgia Chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
