As Muslims, we are taught from a very early age that the Koran says “O Mankind, we have created you male and female, and have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another” (49:13). As Canadians, this belief is reflected in our society, one that accepts and advocates pluralism. To me, this means that we live in a society that harnesses the power of its diversity to improve our quality of life, to bring prosperity to our communities and to resolve our challenges. This is the main reason why Canada is one of the most successful countries in the world.
