Redstone residents are proof positive that you’re never too
old to learn and grow. Recently, Dr.
Salah A. Almoukamal, M.D. presented a program of “Spiritual Conversations:
Islam Explained” at our North Huntingdon community. We had over 50 attendees for this wonderful
presentation. Dr. Almoukamal, President of the Muslim Community Center of Greater
Pittsburgh (Monroeville), shared information regarding Islamic practices and
the Koran. He also shared his journey to
the United States from Syria, and his feelings regarding the conflict in Syria,
where his parents still reside. He
talked about his children and their experience as Muslims in the public school
system. Many participants asked
questions regarding Christian and Muslim relations in the United States, and
the work Dr. Almoukamal does as President of his mosque in the Monroeville area. The program was informative and spirited in
its discussion. These conversations are
so important at any age as we build our communities and work together to build
peace. After the presentation the
participants enjoyed a time of refreshments while the conversations
continued. Redstone offers many
opportunities to stretch our minds and our hearts. Come join the conversation!
