It's Time to Build: The Life of Masjid Ibrahim: Stories of the People

By Gretchen Elhassani

"Islam is so sweet from the inside." Sheikh Abdel-Hadi said in his weekly khutbah, or sermon, one Friday. But Islam is often misunderstood. Come with me to one mosque to meet its leaders, worshipers, families and community. Learn about people who grew up in America, people who immigrated here, people who have always been Muslim and people new to the faith. This book explores life in Delaware's Islamic community through a series of interviews, culminating in a celebration that brought us all together. Including interviews with: teenagers, retirees, professionals, non profit organizations, elected officials, board members, community organizers, founders of the mosque, employees & volunteers. Also including a full transcribed khutbah.
