Edinburgh, August 08: The Islam Festival Edinburgh (IFE), a month-long collection of events promoting understanding of Muslim faith and life, with a special ceremony to open its pivotal feature: the Discover Islam Exhibition.
The Exhibition, which is part of the Festival Fringe and has run successfully at Edinburgh Central Mosque for the past five years, opened with a ceremony attended by various dignitaries including Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) and interfaith representatives.

The exhibition includes various poster sets explaining aspects of the religion and culture of Muslims, as well as artistic exhibits and multimedia. The Islam Festival as a whole encourages creativity and dialogue.

Highlight events during the month include two talks on Islam in a contemporary context ("Who'd be a Muslim these days?" on August 11; and "Islam, Peace, and the Modern World," on August 19), as well as a melodic presentation of the recited Qur'an ("The Glorious Recital," on August 18), and a selling exhibition of Arabic calligraphy by Haji Noor Deen Mi Guangjiang from China (on 24-26 August).

Sohaib Saeed, IFE manager, commented, "More than ever, this fantastic resource for meeting local Muslims and learning about their way of life is a significant contribution to our diverse Scottish society." Did you attend the festival opening?
