The following year, His Holiness was invited to Houston, USA, where he delivered sermons to an audience of over 25,000: the largest community event to have ever taken place in the West. The Mayor of Houston and several local politicians and leaders visited His Holiness at the masjid complex during the event as a recognition of Ashara Mubaraka’s impact on the city and in solidarity with the messages of peace, patriotism and love for all which were at the heart of His Holiness’ sermons.
