Alhamdulillah. The event was successfully organised by the hardworking committee and the passionate members of the Islamic Society. Below are some of the sights of this year’s Islamic Awareness Week.

There was once a civilization that was the greatest in the world..

It was able to create a continental super-state that stretched from ocean to ocean, and from norther climes to tropics and deserts. Within its dominion lived hundreds of millions of people, of different creeds and ethnic origins.The reach of this civilization’s commerce extended from Latin America to China, and everywhere in between.

And this civilization was driven more than anything, by invention. Its architects designed buildings that defied gravity. Its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the building of computers, and the creation of encryption. Its doctors examined the human body, and found new cures for disease. Its astronomers looked into the heavens, named the stars, and paved the way for space travel and exploration.

This is the great Islamic Civilization..

The UCD Islamic Society would like to invite you to our annual Islamic Awareness Week! This is an excellent opportunity for non-Muslims and Muslims alike to ask questions about one of the worlds most misunderstood religions today. IAW will help u to experience Muslims’ glorious past, besides enabling you to learn more about Islam. From simple curiosity to clearing up misconceptions, Islamic Awareness Week allows you to find out all you wanted to know about Islam, but never had the chance to ask!

Guest Profile:

Ziaullah Khan

Director of the “Centre For Islamic Development”, Halifax

The CID is a community-oriented da’wah organization. The Centre was established with the intent of providing a social support and educational outlet for the Muslim community, to understand Islam, and thus to defend it. The Centre provides Islamic courses on comparative religion and other areas of Islamic da’wah. A Qur’an tahfeedh program is available five days a week for men, women and children; these and other functions help Muslims living in the West keep their Islamic indentity. Another focal point of the Centre is countering the adverse and distorted views put forth on Islam and Muslims, through the media and otherwise. At the Centre, special efforts are made to promote and disseminate accurate information about Islam; by the grace of Allah, many people have accepted Islam as their way of life.

Khateeb (orator) for the Muslim Student’s Association in Halifax, Canada.

Host of a local radio show “Salam Halifax.” This show is aimed at presenting Islam to non-Muslims. As well, the show covers various social and political issues, geared at generating awareness of information not readily available through mainstream media.

Zia Khan is a speaker throughout Canada and Britain, as well as other countries. His travel engagements involve lectures for giving Da’wah to non-Muslims, education for Muslims, and T.V. and radio interviews.
