Following a noon lunch in the Pakistan Saffron Restaurant, students toured the main area of the mosque and noted characteristic architectural features of the building. Observation of the noon prayer service and a two-hour question and answer discussion with Sister Maysa, visitation coordinator, filled the afternoon. One surprise in the field trip was the tour of the Al-Salam Day School and the introduction to its newly installed principal, Mudir Abdul-Mun&#8217;im Jitmoud. It turns out that both he and his wife were students at Truman back in the early &#8217;80&#8217;s and had taken classes with Dr. Appold.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_688\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/phre\/files\/2014\/10\/IMG_5906.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-688\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-688\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/phre\/files\/2014\/10\/IMG_5906-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Islam class at mosque\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/phre\/files\/2014\/10\/IMG_5906-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/phre\/files\/2014\/10\/IMG_5906.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-688\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Islam class at mosque<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_689\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/phre\/files\/2014\/10\/IMG_5910.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-689\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-689\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/phre\/files\/2014\/10\/IMG_5910-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Appold at mosque\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/phre\/files\/2014\/10\/IMG_5910-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.truman.edu\/phre\/files\/2014\/10\/IMG_5910.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-689\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Appold at mosque<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Truman students enrolled in the PHRE Islam course taught by Dr. Appold recently took part in an all-day field trip to the\u00a0Daar ul-Islam Masjid int.
