Reaching out to new Muslim Brothers & Sisters by Imam Tariq Rasheed

Reaching out to  new Muslim Brothers & Sisters By Imam Tariq Rasheed from Masjid Jamaa  Islam spread with Hijra and Nusrah.

The Qur'an speaks of Mary (called Miriam in Arabic) not only as the mother of Jesus, but as a righteous woman in her own right.
