COLDWATER, MI (WTVB)- Three Islamic scholars will be at the Tibbits Opera House Saturday afternoon as the community is invited to attend “Conversations About Islam.”
The free program starts at 2:30pm.
Salwa Alsuraimi from Aira of Coldwater says a number of topics will be discussed. Brother Addullah Shamman, the Imam of Coldwater, Dr. Ali Sulaiman Ali, and Brother Saleem Khalid will take questions from the audience on such topics as women’s roles in Islam, family and Islamophobia.
