During Ramadan, Mosques are opening their doors wide after a tough year for Muslims
Salwa Kadri enjoys some conversation during a pre-Ramadan dinner at Al Rashid Mosque in Edmonton on Friday. “We go into the month of Ramadan with a heavy heart,” said Noor Alhenedi, spokesperson for Al Rashid. Mosques across the province will be bustling around the clock — Al Rashid alone is anticipating around 2,000 people during peak prayer times, Alhenedi said. In March of this year, the Muslim community was struck again when 51 people died in a shooting that targeted two New Zealand mosques.
