Cheryl Crane of Petersfield, Manitoba, Canada, reflected on how Islam for Deepening and Dialogue has assisted her:

“Two things really interested me during this course. The first was current situations of women in Islam. I realized how much the tribal aspect influenced the treatment of women (i.e. among the Taliban) vs. what was really stated in the Qur'án. Since women are not allowed to interpret the Qur'án they are quite often at the mercy of the Imams and men in general.
“The second is the prophecies which are in the Qur'án about the Bahá'í Faith. I knew more about how the Bahá'í Faith addressed and fulfilled the Christian prophecies than I did about the Islamic prophecies. Very interesting how many of the indicators of the coming Day of Judgment for the Muslims are the same as those for the Christians.
“In my own personal development, I feel I now have a good base understanding of Islam which will allow me to be objective when I do future studying and reading about it. I now also have a greater grasp of the continuity of religion as it flows from Islam into the Bahá'í Faith. These understandings will help me delve deeper into my understanding of spirituality, humanity's travels to deeper understanding and ultimate approach to God, and humankind's spiritual destiny. 
“I feel more confident to teach the Cause in the Five Year Plan because I know more about Islam, the Bahá'í Faith, and my place in the Plan.”
