TORONTO — Canadian Muslims are charging their batteries for the "Reviving the Islamic Spirit," a landmark annual convention that draws distinguished Muslim speakers from across the world.

"With an average annual attendance of 15,000 participants, the convention draws a very diverse group of attendees," Nadir Shirazi, the convention's press secretary, told IslamOnline.net.

Thousands of people from all over North America will flock to Toronto on Friday, December 26, for the opening of the three-day annual conference.

The event is organized by a group of young, active Canadian Muslims and is considered the largest Muslim gathering in Canada, echoing the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention in the US.

This year's convention, the seventh, is themed "Answering the Call of God’s Messenger – Setting Prophetic Priorities for Muslims in the West." (READ MORE)
