Islam is one of the great Religions and Cultures that has contributed so much to our human family and  to its advance and its understanding of life. It is a great Religion that informs and influences the life of well over 1 Billion people. Islamic values, culture, science and architecture have added so much that is beneficial to the Universal Wisdom and knowledge of humanity.

In our increasingly multi-cultural world, which is essentially a Borderless Planet, where modern travel and the world-wide web have brought us closer together, we need to increase our mutual understanding and respect.  We need to recognise that there is more that unites us than divides us. We are, in essence, brothers and sisters united by our common humanity.

This day is designed to introduce us to some of the most important aspects of Islam. It will be focused around two DVD copies from a of a recent BBC TV Programme , produced by Crescent Films, on the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and also some general points about Islam and its 5 Pillars. 

PLEASE NOTE: - This is an opportunity to experience a gentle, basic  and simple introduction to Islam and will provide time for personal reflection, silence and sharing.  It is primarily designed to increase our understanding of this essentially peace-loving Faith Tradition.
