A Muslim group staged a two-week exhibition in Keighley library to dispel what it describes as misrepresentations of Islam’s central text.
Temporary information boards displaying explanations of the content of the Koran were displayed on the library’s ground floor, and were provided by the Keighley Ahmadiyya Muslim Association.
The association’s external affairs secretary, Mujeeb Rahman, said Muslims who misinterpret the Koran have given ammunition to non-Muslims who want to portray Islam and its followers as dangerous and violent.
“We believe the Koran’s message is pertinent to every age,” he said.
“People say now the world has changed so some of the commands of the holy Koran are abrogated, that is absolutely wrong. We believe God is all knowing so would know about the changes of the future.”
