IGGÖ Invites to the Open Mosque Day 2025

The Open Mosque Day offers visitors the opportunity to get to know Islamic communities, ask questions, and engage in personal conversations about faith, culture, and lived diversity.

"Over 800,000 Muslims live in Austria today. They are part of this society, its diversity, and its shared future. The Open Mosque Day shows that our communities are as diverse as the country itself. In our mosques, people of different origins, languages, and life paths meet, united by common values such as respect, charity, and a sense of responsibility," emphasizes IGGÖ President Ümit Vural.

Tours and Discussions on Open Mosque Day

On October 19, mosque tours, discussion rounds, cultural presentations, and encounter programs will take place throughout Austria. Numerous representatives from churches, religious communities, politics, education, and civil society will be present at the Open Mosque Day.

Mosques have always been more than places of prayer: they are spaces for encounter, exchange, and social engagement, as emphasized in a statement by the IGGÖ. Many Islamic institutions open their doors throughout the year for neighborhood initiatives, educational offerings, social projects, and cultural events.
