Mariam Mosque’s Theses of Reform

​

Mariam Mosque’s vision is to implement principles of Muslim reform. We will face new dilemmas as a minority in The West. Muslim spiritual and religious leaders are obligated to find solutions to existing and future dilemmas in the Muslim youth. Therefore, these theses of reform are a metaphor for the ongoing search for knowledge and development within our Muslim communities.
