8th of Safar 1426 AH/ March 18th, 2005 AD: Amina Wadud, professor of Islamic studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, is thought to have become first Muslim woman to lead mixed Friday prayers. More than 100 men and women attended the service and sermon given by her. The location was moved to an Anglican Church building in New York after mosques refused to host the event. The service has been criticized by a number of Muslim leaders, who say it goes against Islamic doctrine.
