We recently came across this excellent talk by Imam Joe Bradford on how to make Family Friendly Masjids. This is a great follow up to our previous video on defining what the true purpose of the masjid should be.
How do we make our Masjids Family Friendly? Do we offer the types of services that cater to all stakeholders in our community? Are our masjids safe havens? Are they children and women friendly? This lecture focuses on what the function of a Masjid is, what it should be, and what it can be.
This talk is a much needed and practical advice for us all. Cannot recommend this enough, especially the second part.
