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.

Definitely reach out to the mosque first, it's respectful and they can arrange for someone to welcome you properly.

Your sincerity is lovely. Maybe visit for an open day or guided tour if they offer one, it's a great low-pressure start.

So respectful of you to ask. Just be mindful of where you walk and sit, and you'll be fine. Hope you have a good experience!

This is so nice to see! Mosques are usually open to visitors. Just dress modestly and remove your shoes at the entrance.
