Islam (/ˈɪslɑːm/;[note 1] Arabic: الإسلام, al-ʾIslām IPA: [alʔisˈlaːm] ( listen);[note 2] historically called Muhammadanism in non-Islamic Anglophone societies)[note 3] is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion articulated by the Qur'an, a religious text considered by its adherents to be the verbatim word of God (Allāh), and, for the vast majority of adherents, by the teachings and normative example (called the sunnah, composed of accounts called hadith) of Muhammad (c. 570–8 June 632 CE). An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim (sometimes spelled "Moslem").[2] Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable[3] and that the purpose of existence is to worship God.[4] Nearly all Muslims consider Muhammad to be the last prophet of God.
Muslims also believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed many times before through prophets including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.[5] As for the Qur'an, Muslims consider it to be both the unaltered and the final revelation of God.[6] Religious concepts and practices include the five pillars of Islam, which are obligatory acts of worship, and following Islamic law, which touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, from banking and welfare to the status of women and the environment.[7][8]
Islam began in the early-7th century. Originating in Mecca, it quickly spread in the Arabian peninsula and by the 8th century the Islamic empire was extended from Iberia in the west to the Indus river in the east. The Islamic Golden Age refers to the period traditionally dated from the 8th century to the 13th century when much of the historically Islamic world was experiencing a scientific, economic and cultural flourishing.[9][10][11] The expansion of the Muslim world involved various caliphates and empires, traders and conversion to Islam by missionary activities.

Corporate presentation for Thermal Energy International (TSX-V: TMG), a global provider of proven and proprietary energy efficiency solutions to the industrial and institutional sectors.
With a properly applied condensing heat recovery system, thermal efficiencies nearing 100% can be achieved. Even if your site is unable to achieve this level of efficiency, improvements in energy efficiency can be realized through condensing heat recovery. Typically, 5 to 20 percent fuel savings can be practically and economically realized. Given all that, it makes sense to learn more about condensing heat recovery technologies.
The book then discusses the life story of Prophet Jesus, the Son of Mary, Peace be upon both of them. It starts with the time before he was born, till He was ascended to Heaven by Almighty Allah.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

dare to compare any great man in modern history with
Muhammad?”
Alphonse de Lamartine
14. Qur’an 5:46-48
And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of
Mary, confirming the Law that had come before
him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was
guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law
that had come before him: a guidance and an
admonition to those who fear Allah.
Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah
hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by
(the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are
(no better than) those who rebel.
15. Continued
To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming
the scripture that came before it, and guarding it
in safety: so judge between them by what Allah
hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires,
diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee.
To each among you have we prescribed a law and
an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would
have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to
test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in
a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah;
it is He that will show you the truth of the matters
in which ye dispute;

29. A few Misconceptions
Islam and Culture
Muslims and Arabs
Status of Women
Concept of Jihad
Belief in Jesus
Does the media
play a role in
these
misconceptions?
31. Muslims and Arabs
Muslim Population 1.6 - 1.8 Billion
Largest population of Muslims is in
Indonesia, India and China
Arabs only constitute 15-20% of Muslims
90-95% of Arabs are Muslims
32. Status of Women
“Prior to Islam, a woman was regarded by her parents as a
threat to family honor and hence worthy of burial alive at
infancy. As an adult, she was a sex object that could be
bought, sold and inherited. From this position of inferiority
and legal incapacity, Islam raised women to a position of
influence and prestige in family and society.”
Cultural Atlas of Islam
Equal vs. Identical
Examples of Rights 1400 years ago
Concept of Hijab (Covering)
Marriage of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh)
33. Concept of Jihad
Different Forms of Jihad
Establishment of Justice
Rules of Engagement
“Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not
transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors”
Qur’an 2:190
“History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical
Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the
point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most
fanatically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated”
De Lacy O’Leary – Islam at the Crossroads
34. Status in Islam
Miracles
Did he die?
“The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of
Adam He created him from dust then said to him be
and he was”
Qur’an 3: 59
35. Shariah
Society
Economics
Character of Muslims
In Islam, faith is not an abstract theological dogma, nor an
intellectual creed, nor a philosophical proposition... It is
the Shari`ah which translates faith and moral ideals into
clear, definable, viable, and concrete goals, forms, and
codes, and brings them within the grasp of every ordinary
man and woman; this is why it is one of the greatest
blessings of God and one of the greatest vehicles for
human progress.
Khurram Murad

Include recitation of a verse talking about the purpose of life.
Possible choices: (4:123-126), (16:89-90), (51:56)
* CHECK OUT JUHANY (Mecca Qari)

True Monotheism
His Name and his oneness
Try using a table format to organize the content
Islam
Submission
Peace
A way of life
Bolded & underlined text
Maybe take out the writing under each section (just keep quran and sunnah – that’s it) the rest should be speaking points.
Maybe title it “Where does it come from?”
* Speaker pt: need to establish definition/distinction of “Islam” & “Muslim” here so that later slide is indeed a “recap”
Include more relevant pictures that speak to Americans (white)
Speaking Points: Anyone can be a Muslim
Include Muslim Greetings
Change “Pillars of Faith” to “What do Muslims believe?”
Speaking Points
Nothing worthy of worship except Allah
Allah Has no gender, race or ethnicity
Same God of Moses, Jesus & other Prophets
Signs of existence
*Maybe shift this slide before the “Allah” slide (as an introduction) AND/OR use ayat al-Kursi instead- this would allow for verses dealing with signs of creation to be used at the end of the slide.

I think we need to change this slide up a bit.
Put a heading of “Brief History
Lamartine was an Famous 18th Century French Thinker
Maybe add that he was an orphan, non-literate and some miracles maybe.

Try using table format

* Arabic in italics? (more focus on familiar English names + prophets)
* NEW SLIDE
*Verses describing relation of Qur’an to previous scriptures (transition into next slide)
Possible verses: (3:3), (35:31)
I think we should take out this verse and have the verse from Surat Al Ma’idah 46-48 and then that will be an even easier transition.
* Include recitation in Arabic on this slide and english translation
