Queens, New York (IINA) - Thousands of Muslims from across the US have been invited to attend the annual convention of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) to honor Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as speakers from across the world provide a “better understanding” of the Prophet.
More than 20,000 Muslims from across the United States are expected to attend the conference, which start on Saturday and will end Monday, according to OnIslam.
When people in the United States mention the name of the Prophet, “they actually do not know much about him,” Waqas Syad, ICNA deputy secretary general told Anadolu Agency on Saturday.
“The Prophet has inspired humanity for the last fourteen centuries with his message of faith in one God and his caring and compassion for all human beings. In this convention we aim to address how Muhammad (PBUH) instituted universal principles of human dignity, justice, fairness, consultation, tolerance and forgiveness, equality of individuals regardless of race or ethnicity, and peaceful co-existence among the nations and peoples of the world.”
This year’s convention marked the 40th anniversary of the annual gathering, which this year was honoring the Prophet, as nearly 140 speakers across the world gave lectures to provide a “better understanding” of him.
ICNA is one of the largest, non-profit, grassroots Muslim organizations in North America with many projects, programs, and activities designed to help in reforming society at large.
