Because of increased public interest in learning about Islam, as well as requests from Muslim presenters and spokespeople for our content, we are pleased to make available online for public access an abbreviated version of ING’s presentation Getting to Know American Muslims and Their Faith. The PowerPoint slide presentation is accompanied by detailed scripts, offering a broad overview of Muslims and their faith, history, and contributions to the world and to the United States.

If you’re presenting this topic, we highly recommend supplementing your knowledge with our Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Islam and Muslims, also available on our site. If you are interested in taking the next step and becoming one of our certified volunteer speakers, join us here, or write to one of our affiliates if you live in their area.

We are also pleased to offer for a limited time a special online Overview of Ramadan & Fasting for both individual learning and interfaith engagement. The PowerPoint slide presentation is accompanied by detailed scripts, offering an overview of Ramadan, the purpose and goals of fasting, and a look at a day in the life of a fasting person. It concludes with some of the challenges involved in accommodating fasting employees and students and ways to meet them.

Again, if you’re presenting this topic, we highly recommend supplementing your knowledge with our Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Islam and Muslims, also available on our website.
