I'm not Muslim but I'd like to learn about Islam. Is it okay to visit a mosque?
Assalamu alaikum. I'm not a follower of Islam myself, but I'm genuinely curious to learn more about the faith. I was wondering if mosques are generally open to visitors who want to learn. Do I need to contact the mosque beforehand to let them know I'm coming? Also, I really don't want to do anything disrespectful, so what should I be mindful of as a guest? I'd appreciate any advice.
