Little Mosque on the Prairie

The residents of Mercy, Saskatchewan, extend a lukewarm welcome to the local mosque's new imam, Amaar, who questions his move to the rural town.

Longtime congregant Baber insists the mosque add a barrier separating worshippers by gender and argues with his daughter, Layla, over her running attire.

To get to know the wider Mercy community, Amaar decides to hold an open house and asks busy contractor Yasir to find an electrician before the event.

Café owner Fatima and her friend Rayyan push for the town to hire a woman as a lifeguard. Amaar rebrands Halloween for wary parents.

Amaar celebrates the mosque's first convert, but the young man's commitment quickly divides the congregation and tests even Baber's patience.

Yasir's mother, Hamoudi, arrives with surprising plans for her son. The Rev. Duncan Magee agrees to host a wedding that inspires debate all over town.

Rayyan asks Amaar for advice about dating a firefighter who isn't Muslim, while Baber expresses concern about her influence over Layla.

The mosque's congregants help Magee to present a packed church for a visiting archdeacon — whose early arrival puts the plan in jeopardy.
