On Friday, September 21, 2018, the City of Hayward, California recognized Muslim Appreciation Month at the American Muslim Association (AMA), which is also known as the Gading Masjid. 

On behalf of Mayor Barbara Halliday, Assistant City Manager David Korth presented the proclamation at Jumu'ah prayer after meeting with CAIR-SFBA and several congregants. 

Did you know that August was Muslim American Appreciation & Awareness Month?

Assemblymembers Bill Quirk (D-Hayward), Kansen Chu (D-Milpitas), and Ash Kalra (D-San Jose) authored Resolution 118 that made August 2018 as “Muslim American Appreciation & Awareness” for the third consecutive year.

This is the display at the entrance of the Weekes Branch Library in Hayward.

We thank the efforts of the City of Hayward and CAIR-SFBA for making this happen! 

Hayward Mayor Barbara Halliday will also deliver a proclamation of appreciation for the Hayward Muslim community this Friday at the Gading Mosque Friday service (Jumu'ah), which will be held at 1:15 p.m. at the Golden Peacock Restaurant in Hayward.
