Here are some of the interesting things we have been discussing!

• "Allah" is the Arabic name for God. Literally meaning "The God", the Arabic name Allah is used by Muslims around the world, irrespective of languages spoken. Other faiths and traditions address God using names such as Dieu, Jehovah, Ya'hweh, and Elohim.
• Have you ever thought about statues? Did you know there are only 20 statues of women in Canada! 20! In the United Kingdom, there are more statues of men named JOHN than of women!
• The "Five Pillars" of Islam are 1)Testimony of Faith 2) Performance of the daily five rituals prayers 3) Paying the alms tax annually 4) Fasting during the month of Ramadan 5) Performing the Hajj
• Are parks, streets and buildings in your area named after men or women?
• The Qur'an literally means "the reading" or "the recitation" and refers to the exact words revealed by God through the Angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims believe the Qur'an to be the final revelation from God to humanity, following revelations given to previous Messengers, including the Gospel of Prophet Jesus, the Psalms of Prophet David, the Torah of Prophet Moses, and the Scrolls of Prophet Abraham.
