About Islamic History Month Canada

Why we celebrate?

The Parliament of Canada proclaimed October Canadian Islamic History Month in 2007 in recognition of significant contributions Muslims  have made to Canadian society. Islamic History Month is a time to reflect, celebrate, learn, and appreciate the diversity  within Canada’s Muslim communities. From poetry, film, and the arts to spiritual and philosophical knowledge, Muslims continue to enrich the multicultural social fabric  around the world and in Canada.

We welcome you to celebrate Islamic History Month with us.
