My HUN 180 Intercultural communication class conducted a field trip to the Jamaica Islamic Center, Queens, on November 22, 2016.

man named Imam Hussein (AS). His heart was filled with bravery, courage, kindness, faith, and so much more. If you would ever want to have a loving heart like Imam Hussein (AS), you must clean out your heart, then you must fill your heart with ingredients such as kindness, forgiveness, compassion, and much more.
