I’ve been tasked with being my office’s Muslim community lead (big4, large city). But I’m having like a mental barrier because a lot of of these people- they don’t follow islam- so how am I going to come up with events such as dinner that’s gonna make us miss magrib? And I’m not trying to judge these people. It just doesn’t feel like a Muslim community because Muslim is a religion not a culture… any tips or advice? I wanna do some things where people can be more aware of their muslim colleagues

Dude just do an iftar w a prayer area; no harm no foul

Combine food with knowledge sessions. Invite muslims to speak about growing up Muslim (not just in America but other countries). Talk about Umrah/Hajj, invite interfaith leaders to come have civil dialogue. A lot of fear about Islam is driven by a lack of knowledge, and a lack of knowing actual good Muslims.

Ramadan is coming up, and that’s a great time to host “Iftar” events with other non-muslims, especially since the days are still short. Eid is another way to celebrate inclusively. Explain why we pray 5 times a day, or how we are more similar to Christianity/Judaism than non-muslims may know. There are so many ideas, just keep it simple. Start small and build up to it

Totally over thinking it. You have an opportunity to share your beliefs and meet some new people. Doesn’t have to be a dinner. And even if it is, it doesn’t mean you have to miss your prayer.

Something to brighten your day 🤗
I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!
