| Assalamu`alaykum, Does any of you live in Madison (Wisconsin)? We`re considering moving there, but don`t know much about that place. What can you tell me about it? How is it for muslims overthere? I would really appreciate any info. Jazakallahu khaira |

| I'm a native of Madison, although I don't live there anymore, I visit my family there. Al-Jumu'ah magazine is based there and they have a masjid attached with a very nice group of brothers and sisters attending the halqaat they have. There is a second mosque in the university area. I know less about them than the "sunnah mosque" (al Jumuah),but there is an active halaqah for the women there too, that I do know. Madison is beautiful in the summer, very cold in the winter. It is almost always listed in the top 10 best cities to live in for its population category. It is a pretty liberal city, so they are tolerant to a fairly decent extent. Once in awhile I'll see someone shouting at me while they pass in a car (I'm a woman), but on the whole they are quite accepting of hijab. |

| Assalaam alaikum wa Rahmatu Allah, One of my dearest friends is from Montreal and she told me there is a large percentage of Muslims there, and seeing hijab is quite ordinary. Madison is a smaller place, with a less percentage of Muslims. If I visit a shopping mall, I usually see at least one other Muslim sister there. There have only been 3 or 4 incidents like the shouting one during my visits over the last 15 years. I guess I mentioned it since one incident happened on my latest visit. Unfortunately, there is no Islamic school in Madison. The one sister I talked to the most there home schools her children. Masha' Allah, her children are some of the most polite, and islamically minded children I have seen. |
