How can I know Your Greatness, Heavenly Father When I cannot fathom, nor imagine the countless attributes that fiercely compete to celebrate and proclaim Your Immaculate Glory, provide just a glimpse of Your Magnificence. ~ Kanwal Prakash Singh ~ • Avil Alh nUru aupwieAw kudriq ky sB bMdy ] eyk nUr qy sBu jgu aupijAw kaun Bly ko mMdy ] The Lord first created light: From the Lord’s play, all living creatures came.

And from the divine light, the whole creation sprang. Why then should we divide human creatures into the high and the low? ~ Bhagat Kabir, Page 1349-50, Sri Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh Scripture) ~ • ISLAM: Founded in the Middle East by Prophet Muhammad in the 7th Century, the faith is guided by The Holy Qu’ran, the sacred scripture of Muslims, as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him).

The five pillars of the faith are: The Shahadah (affirmation), Salat (set 5 daily prayers), Sawm (daily fast during the month of Ramadan), Zakat (alms giving), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). Today, the two major branches of Islam, Sunni and Shi’a, have over 1.5 billion followers worldwide and nearly 8 million in the USA.
