(Global News) The importance of interfaith collaboration was the focus as thousands of people went to the largest annual Muslim convention in Western Canada on Saturday.
All were welcome to the workshops and prayers at the Jalsa Salana convention at the Sarcee Seven Chiefs Sportsplex on Tsuut’ina Nation this weekend.
Harim Ahmed, an Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at member, said that in addition to the event building character in young people, it helps boost awareness about Islam.
“This is our method of how we’re essentially going to save the world,” the 14-year-old said.
The convention breaks down walls about the religion, he explained.
