PII attended the Trinity United Church family in Warren, to deliver a speech on Faith Practices of Islam on Sunday, March 11, 2012.
Dr. Mesut Sahin made his presentation on the topic.
In his speech, Dr. Sahin talked about the social frame and historical background of people in Arabian Peninsula when Prophet Mohammed(PBUH) was born. He spoke about the expansion of Islam chronologically since the first revelation to Prop. Mohammed(PBUH).
He gave examples of tolerance and living together in Prophet’s life, as being the first one to move to Medina and founding a City State with Jews, and Christians. Futhermore, Dr. Sahin mentioned the status of the people of the book (followers of Abrahamic religions, Christians and Jews) in Islam, talked about the five pillars of Islam, and the basics of Islamic faith.
A brief, but engaging Q&A session followed the speech.
It was a very educational experience. We thank Heather Harris-Galgoci, Adult Education Coordinator of Trinity United Church for the invitation.
