The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Maryland Muslim leaders will gather Monday at Baltimore's Masjid Ihsan to remember the life and legacy of boxing legend Muhammad Ali.

The gathering will be led by a funeral prayer called "salat al-ghaib," which is performed for Muslims who have died in distant places.
