​The event was attended by a diverse audience that included faith and community leaders and activists, faculty and students. Besides the presentation, an interfaith panel discussion was another attraction of the evening. Alice Leri, Associate Dean at the Darla Moore School of Business (DMSB), welcomed the audience and invited Chaudhry Sadiq to make his presentation.

​In his presentation designed in the 'Prezi' program, Chaudhry Sadiq dealt with the introduction of Islam and Muslims before enlightening the audience about Allah, the Holy Qur'an, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him - pbuh), Muslims around the world and U.S. Muslims. Finally, he addressed the sensitive and critical subject of terrorism in the light of his personal experiences and research, to break down many common myths and remove misconceptions about Islam and Muslims.

​A highly reputed and respected panel of interfaith experts then addressed the audience, including Reverend Frank Anderson, Imam Omar Shaheed and Rabbi Jonathan Case. The three faith leaders kept the audience spellbound for about half an hour with their perspective of Islam and interfaith relations between our communities and beyond.
​The USC departments involved in hosting the event then treated the guests to delicious snacks and light refreshments in an environment of warmth, cordiality and fellowship. The memorable program finally concluded with the 'Maghrib' Muslim Prayer
that is performed after sunset.
