A galaxy of Muslim scholars, intellectuals, professors and community leaders from across the world will address thousands of Muslims from North America expected to show up for the annual Reviving the Islamic Spirit (RIS) convention. The three-day convention will open at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre under the theme, SOS: Saving the Ship of Humanity. Among the most prominent speakers include Jamal Badawi, Hamza Yusuf and Tariq Ramadan. Yusuf Islam, the former pop star popularly known as Cat Stevens, will also make his first live Canadian appearance in 10 years during the convention. The 8th annual convention will also feature a grand Souk (bazaar), with vendors from all across North America selling and promoting their products and services. The convention organisers say they will be trying to help Muslims strike the right balance between obligations to their faith and their country.
