Mosque Tours

Marhoom Sheikh Ahmed Deedat was passionate about Mosque Tours as a unique dawah activity to introduce Islam to non-muslims that he used to personally conduct them. Due to the great success that he had achieved with the Mosque Tours, he encouraged Muslims all over the world to open their Masaajid for non-Muslims to view and be educated about Islam whilst having the opportunity to view “The Muslim at Prayer”. The Mosque Tour continues to be one of the cornerstones of IPCI activities. Alhamdulillah, at an average, IPCI hosts approximately 400 vistors to the Mosque per month.

International Demand for Mosque Tours
IPCI hosts tourists from all parts of the world for Mosque visits. In the recent past, tourists from Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Holland, United Kingdom, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Brazil, Argentina have visited the Mosque via IPCI. IPCI is particularly geared to hosts tourists from various parts of the world as it has access to Islamic literature and translations of the Quran in many different languages. IPCI has also established a professionally outfitted Islamic Exhibition & Multimedia Centre at its headquarters with screening facilities and a dinning area for visitors. Thus a Mosque tour now entails a visit to the Mosque together with a visit to the Islamic Exhibition centre, a screening of a documentary on Islam while light refreshments are being provided. Each visitor is also handed a gift pack, which includes a DVD on Islam, books written by Sheikh Ahmed Deedat entitled “The Muslim at Prayer” and various other useful publications on Islam.

Project Management
The Centre is inundated with calls for Mosque Tours from School groups, Religious Groups, Senior citizens Group as well as Cruise Ship tourists and other tour operators. Recently we have found large numbers of delegates who visit the Durban International Convention Centre for International conferences visit the Centre for a Mosque Tour. The ICC hosts International Conferences almost every week. The Centre has dedicated staff members, whom are well trained in public speaking as well as handling questions on Islam.
