An open house to promote religious harmony, dispel misconceptions about Islam and to educate people about the true and peaceful teachings of Islam will take place Saturday at the Sault Ste. Marie Public Library.

The Holy Qur’an Open House will be held at the main and Korah branches from noon until 4 p.m.

The exhibition is sponsored by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association of Canada, an auxiliary wing of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

In a press release, a spokesman said it is a non-profit, charitable, religious organization established in more than 200 countries worldwide, with 65 chapters in Canada.
