==== 1. Quotes for the Week ====

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu.

"And verily, it had been revealed to you (O Muhammad) as has been revealed to those before you. If you join others in worship with Allah (then) surely (all) your deeds will be in vain and you will certainly be among the losers. Nay! But worship Allah and be among grateful." (Qur'an, 39:65-66)

Wasalam,

Elias Karim, News Editor, cmo@CambridgeMuslims.info

==== 6. Did You Know? ====
See http://www.cambridgemuslims.info/DidYouKnow/ for some interesting
bits of history.

- King Offa's Gold Coins
They were minted between 758-796 CE by King Offa of Mercia, Kent. The
first side of the coin contains Arabic inscriptions which reads: There is no
god [worthy of worship] except Allah who has no partner or associate.

- Medieval Islamic Coins discovered near Cambridge
Evidence of Muslim presence in the Americas before Columbus. These
Medieval Islamic coins were discovered in 1787, during road-building
excavations between Cambridge and Malden, Massachusetts, USA (not Cambridge
UK!).

- Al Masudi's Map of the World
showing Ard Majhoola or "unknown territory" (the Americas). The Muslim
historian and geographer Al Masudi died (957CE) some 500 years before
Columbus set sail!
