Diving into Muslim Cultures dar-al hijrah open house - a Taste of islam

"A Taste of Islam" is an annual event dedicated to the demonstration of different Muslim cultures and interesting aspects of the Islamic religion. The Virginia Mosque "Dar-Al Hijrah" hosts this event and invites people of different religions and cultures to come and submerge themselves into the culture and get a better understanding of their Muslim neighbors. The Mosque celebrates religious diversity and welcomes all people interested in getting to know their culture and traditions. There are stands selling items such as clothing, jewelry, bags and more, and there are also stands where attendees can taste some food and drinks typical to an Islamic country. There is also a fashion show showing off Islamic styles and designs, modeled by members of the mosque. There is a playground outside for children to play, and outdoors stands selling toys.
