Friday Khutba 'Believing in Muhammad' By Sh. Kifah

Dr. Ihsan Bagby, Associate Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies at the University of Kentucky, was the guest speaker for the Mosque Foundation's Monthly English Program on Saturday, March 22, 2008. Dr. Bagby, an African-American who converted to Islam in 1969, has done extensive research on Islam and the African-American experience, historically to present time.

Our local law enforcement officers, many of whom are members of the Arab American Police Association (AAPA), have volunteered much of their time to ensure the ease and flow of the Mosque Foundation's major events such as the two Eid Prayers, the all night Lailat al Qadr prayers, special programs and events, and local conventions.

In today's fast-track world, family ties are often set aside because of personal aspirations.

It is the duty of every Muslim to strengthen and maintain family ties.

He later became an outstanding foreign correspondent for the publication, Franfurtur Zeitung, and after his conversion to Islam from Judaism, he traveled and worked throughout the Muslim world, from North Africa to as far East as Afghanistan.
