6 Reimagining Muslim Spaces
7 Mosques Matter Frequent mosque attendance linked to: More volunteerism Better mental health Higher civic Engagement Yet, mosques often are alienating to many people, especially Women Converts Young People
8 Challenges Many young adults, women, and converts are alienated from the mosque. Mosque leaders complain about a lack of volunteers and the lack of commitment of attendees to the mosque. Mosque attendees complain about a lack of unity, the lack of a sense of belonging.
9 Why Make Mosques Welcoming? Increases volunteers Sustains donors Increases cleanliness Increases spiritual engagement Promotes stronger more vibrant communities Builds hubs for hope Provides sanctuaries of support in hostile environment Grows the next generation of Muslim Americans
10 Finding Answers Develop a vision of the Prophetic Mosque as a guide and a goal. Research the situation.
11 Project Overview The goal of our Reimagining Muslim Spaces project is to produce research-driven recommendations for mosques that are: Welcoming: Inclusive and engaging A Hub for Hope: A source of community service
12 Project Overview We accomplished this through: Extensive literature review Focus groups across the country Analysis of every available poll One-on-one interviews Advice from a diverse taskforce of experts

23 General Recommendation Foster a Welcoming Environment
24 Focus group participants agreed that the most attractive aspect of a masjid for them is the sense that they are welcomed. To develop a sense of community, a sense of belonging, you must develop a sense that people are welcomed. FOCUS GROUP PARTICIPANTS
25 Automatically I was welcomed. The smiles, the warmth, the salaams And just a sense of, it doesn t matter if you re new or you re not one of us, you are one of us because you re here. The thing I most love [about my mosque] is the sense of generosity and hospitality; the sense of belonging. FOCUS GROUP ATTENDEES
26 Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, You will not enter paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another, so spread salam among yourselves (Sahih Muslim). THE PROPHETIC MODEL
27 Foster a Welcoming Environment Form a Welcoming Committee which will: Give salams and assistance to all who enter for Jum ah and other events Strike up conversations afterwards to get to know people Find out their interests and expertise; have them fill out an information card Encourage involvement in events and committees
28 Foster a Welcoming Environment Develop a culture of everyone being welcoming: Say salam to people praying next to them Say salam to one another after Jum ah; even when ethnic groups form, go around and say salam When new person comes in, give a smile and salam Give khutbahs on being welcoming; leadership should provide the example
29 Local Case Study: 100 Days of Rahmah
30 Recommendation for Young Adults Stay Relevant Be Dynamic
31 [They] give extremely relevant khutbahs So every time it seems that it s not some really abstract concept It's usually something that s very relevant and they can actually implement, things that they see every day in their lives. I just want something relevant. FOCUS GROUP ATTENDEES
32 Stay Relevant Mosques must invite inspiring, knowledgeable speakers and khateebs who can speak eloquently and powerfully to the topics of interest in the community, whether the topic is spiritual or worldly. Khutbahs in particular need to be regularly evaluated.
33 Be Dynamic with a Sense of Mission The dynamic masjid offers numerous opportunities for participants to become involved, and as a result, the mosque feels alive, vital, and exciting.
34 Be Dynamic Develop a clear understanding of the mosque s mission which is tied to the vision of Islam and the Prophetic mosque. Conduct a strategic planning process to identify the mosque s mission
35 Be Dynamic Identify interests and facilitate the formation of small groups.
36 Recommendation for Women Create an Inclusive Environment for Women
37 The believing men and believing women are guardians of one another. They advocate virtue, forbid evil, perform the prayers, practice charity, and obey God and His Messenger. These God will have compassion on them. God is Noble and Wise. Surat Al-Taubah: 71

43 I hate the fact that I can t see the speaker (while in the balcony), it drives me nuts. When I see a woman on the Board I automatically feel that mosque is more open to women. FOCUS GROUP ATTENDEES
44 Fiqh Council of North America, Yasir Qadhi, Omar Shahin, Omar Suleiman, Mohamed Magid We call upon masjids to ensure that women have access to the main musalla to perform salah, listen to the Jum ah khutbah or attend and participate in lectures or discussions. The Prophet (pbuh) did not have a formal shura process, but he did set the example of consulting with all segments of the Muslim community, including women. Masjids in North America, however, do have formal decision-making mechanisms, and it is, therefore, incumbent that women participate in all processes of formal shura, including serving on the governing bodies of masjids.
45 Create an Inclusive Environment for Women Women should have the choice to pray in the main musalla or in a separate area. Women should serve on masjid boards and be a part of masjid leadership.
46 Recommendation for Converts Address the Social Needs of Converts
47 Converts Make Up 20% of Community According to Pew, one in five Muslim adults was not raised a Muslim. Same study found that the same number of Americans were raised in a Muslim household but no longer identifies as a Muslim. Religious Switching: Change in America s Religious Landscape The Pew Research Center 2015
48 I [a convert] feel most comfortable when I know that I have a friend there to talk to. When the experience in a mosque is really great is when I make a friend. So that s like stellar... so I don t feel socially uncomfortable and awkward where I m trying to make social talk with people. FOCUS GROUP ATTENDEES
