Muslim Heritage and The First North American Museum Devoted to Islamic art

Epigraph:

You (the moderate Muslims) are the best people raised for the good of mankind; you enjoin what is good and forbid evil and believe in Allah. And if the People of the Book had believed, it would have surely been better for them. Some of them are believers, but most of them are disobedient. (Al Quran 3:111)
