“There’s lots of fun and lots of surprises. During the year, we do offer so many programs, but those programs are mostly focused on educating people,” Mohammad added.

“So, our Family Fun Night is focused on fun for families, for all men, women, and children to come together, sit together, have fun, win some prizes, enjoy good food, and then go home.”

Mohammad invited neighbors of all faiths to come and share festivities with the local Muslim community.
