Shahada
The Imam of this masjid says he has “witnessed around 600 Japanese citizens converting to Islam” (The Japan Times ,Nov 2014, The Osaka imam who represents Islam’s growth in Japan). Some of the converts engage in Islamic practice so actively that they become directors of this Masjid.
Non-muslim visitors
The Masjid welcomes individual or group visits from Non-muslim Japanese people who often join the Saturday program. They enjoy the lectures by the imam, and the exchanges with the brothers. The masjid has became one of the proof which shows the “cohabitation” of people from different backgrounds in this area.
