Was Masjid Abu Bakr used in the movie "My Name is Khan?" The exterior front of Masjid Abu Bakr was used in the Bollywood film "My Name is Khan." The exterior was used to setup the film's mosque scene where the character of Khan (played by Shah Rukh Khan) challenges a preacher's rendering of the story of Abraham's sacrifice of his son. That scene was not filmed in Masjid Abu Bakr; only the exterior of the masjid was used.  On Thursday, November 17, 2016, representatives from Hayward’s five mosques met with Hayward Mayor Barbara Halliday and David Korth, Assistant to Hayward City Manager Kelly McAdoo. The meeting was an important step to cement a positive working relationship between city and religious leaders, inform city officials about the services provided by the five mosques, and to assuage post-election jitters.

It is mustahabb (highly recommended) for those who are not pilgrims to fast on the Day of ‘Arafah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked about fasting on the Day of ‘Arafah.
