Masjid Ikhlas’s outreach team focuses on teaching about Islam to the Greater Denver community while hosting different events. Our Masjid open house is every 1st Saturday of the month from 2:30 – 5 pm. It is free and open to the public.
If you have any questions regarding Islam, want to schedule a mosque visit or request a speaker, please contact us at outreach@masjidikhlas.org and we will be happy to talk to you
What is Islam?
Islam is not a new religion. It is the same truth that God revealed to all His prophets throughout history. Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims strive to live with peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and Islam should never be associated with violence against innocent people.
Who are Muslims and what do they believe?
There are over one billion Muslims worldwide, and most do not live in the Arabic-speaking world. Indonesia has the largest Muslim population. Muslims believe in one God, accountability on the Day of Judgment, and in a chain of prophets including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus. The final messenger is Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them all.
A person becomes Muslim by declaring faith:
“There is no deity but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God.”
This statement affirms belief in all of God’s messengers.
What is the Quran?
The Quran is the holy book of Islam. Muslims believe it is the word of God revealed to Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel. It was memorized, preserved, and remains unchanged.
What are the “Five Pillars” of Islam?
What about the American Muslim community?
There are millions of Muslims in the United States from many ethnic backgrounds. Muslims contribute to society in education, healthcare, business, public service, and more. There are thousands of mosques and Islamic centers nationwide.
What about Muslim women?
Islam grants women the right to education, property ownership, and participation in community life. Men and women are equal in dignity. Modesty applies to both genders. Oppression of women comes from culture, not Islamic teachings.
What is Jihad?
Jihad means striving or struggle. It includes personal self-improvement, working for justice, and standing against oppression. It does not mean harming innocent people.
If you can’t volunteer at least bring someone to our open house…or give them literature about Islam…Think about a non-Muslim neighbor, colleague, friend or family you have and how you would feel if they accepted Islam on your hands with the grace of Allah. Again, it is worth thinking about that person and if they died in that state of disbelief.
If you would like to volunteer, have questions, suggestions or need Daawah literature including Quran, please contact fill out this form.
