TEHRAN (IQNA) – Muslims in Okotoks now have a space in partnership with local church to hold Friday prayers. Now the community has partnered with Okotoks United Church, who've agreed to rent the community a place for prayers every Friday going forward. "I used to go pray in High River," said Mohamed Desouki, who lives in Calgary but works in Okotoks. "We had been planning to have Friday prayers and finally the church allowed us to rent the space," said Soharwardy. "There was nothing in Okotoks and there's a large Muslim population now growing so there's a need for it.
