Chair of Multi-faith Partnership Scunthorpe
Abid Khan, 49, chair of the Multi-Faith Partnership in Scunthorpe, arranged for the exhibition to come to his former school in the town and said it was for everyone in “our communities” to give them experience about Islam.
He said: “I’m overwhelmed, you know. This is very close to every believer and especially if you’re Muslim.
“We always dream about it. It is emotional bringing all this unique history, culture and art [to Scunthorpe]”.
Mr Khan said he wanted to thank everyone who supported the event including the “wonderful” school for hosting.
