The true faithful Muslim believes in the following principal articles of faith:

Belief in one God (Allah), Supreme and Eternal, Infinite and Mighty, Merciful and Forgiving, the Creator and the Provider, He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none equal or comparable unto Him.

 Belief in all Messengers of Allah (Ar-Rusul) without any discrimination among them, as every known nation had a Warner or Messenger from Allah. They were chosen by Allah to teach humanity and deliver His Divine message. The Qur'aan mentions the names of many of them, and Muhammad  (sallAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) stands as the Last Messenger and the crowning glory of the foundation of prophethood.

Belief in all original scriptures and revelations of Allah (Al-Kutub), accepting them as the guiding light that the messengers received to show their respective people the right path to Him. In the Qur'aan, special reference is made to the books of Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus (Peace be upon them all), but long before the revelation of the Qur'aan to Muhammad (peace be upon him) some of these books and revelations had been lost or corrupted. The only authentic and complete book of Allah in existence today is the Qur'aan, which has been preserved as it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) in its pristine, pure form.

Belief in the Angels of Allah , recognizing them as spiritually pure and splendid beings whose nature requires no food, drink or sleep. They are honored servants who are assigned certain functions, and spend their days and nights in the worship of Allah. They do not speak before Allah does, and they act only by His command.

Belief in the Last Day (Yaum Al-Qiyaamah) and the Hereafter (Al-Aakhirah), acknowledging that this world will end someday, and that the dead will rise to stand for their final and fair trial. People with good records will be generously rewarded and warmly welcomed to the Heaven of Allah, and those with bad records will be punished and cast into Hell and none will be treated with injustice.

Belief in Fate (Qadr), whether good or bad, which Allah, measured and ordained for all creation according to His previous knowledge, and as deemed suitable by His wisdom. And in the timeless knowledge of Allah, and in His power to plan and execute His plans, nothing could happen in His Kingdom against His will. His knowledge and power which are always in action command over His creation. He is Wise and Merciful, and whatever he does must have a meaningful purpose. If this is established in our minds and hearts, we should accept with good faith all that He does, although we may fail to understand it fully, or think it is bad.

Canadian Party at WPC - My Highlight

One of my personal highlights from WPC in Denver was the night Canada hosted our regional Party, it is great to see many partners come together under one single roof from Vancouver to Toronto to Montreal to Halifax, this is one of the few occassions when we get to see the entire country come together and celebrate.
I had the opportunity to give my farewell speech as President of IAMCP Canada and had the unique opportunity to also recognize some truly Outstanding Microsoft colleagues for their Excellence in Partnering, they were as follows: 
 
Microsoft Corporation
Allison Watson, Corporate Vice President
Steve Ballmer, CEO
Marie Huwe, General Manager, WW Partner Group  
Pam Salzer, Senior Director, WW Partner Group
Ernie Lou, Marketing Manager, EPG
 
Microsoft Canada
Eric Gales, Vice President SMS&P
George Kyriakis, Group Manager, Partner Marketing
Carol Terentiak, IAMCP Champ, MSPP
Sin Graham, BDM, EPG
Mary Peterson, Group Manager, SIs
Pierre Chadi, Regional Sales Manager, Quebec
Bill Evelyn, Regional Sales Manager, Calgary
 
The Partnerhsip with Microsoft works for Partners thanks to the incredible dedication of the thousands of Microsoft employees who truly care about our Partner community and make it their number one Priority to work with Partners.  I am very grateful to the hundreds of people I had the chance to work with over the last five years, it has been an incredible and exhilirating experience from day one.

Kevin Turner winning the hearts of Partners

It is the second year that Partner had the opportunity to listen to Kevin Turner as Microsoft's newest Executive, I must admit that he has been able to win the hearts of Partners only after such a short time at Microsoft.  I really like the focus he is trying to bring to Sales execution and trying to enhance the Microsoft corporate culture.  For me the highlight  about Kevin Turner is the fact he is also promoting Corporate Citizenship in a big way with our Partner Community, it is definetely getting the attention from our Partner Community, it is nice to be reminded that we are all contributing to good causes around the world, we are all making a difference!

Trade Mission to Brazil

I had the opportunity to attend a host a breakfast with my peers from Brazil, France, Argentina, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Canada.  It was attended by both Partners and Microsoft and we had a great discussion around a new initiative to promote more (P2P) International Trade for our Partners and bring them to expand into the Brazilian market, my good friend Maurico Cacique Andrade, IAMCP LATAM President will be hosting us in September in the beautiful city of Sao Paolo, Brazil.  We are thrilled about this initiative that hope to become the global template for future Trade Missions for our Microsoft partners, we have alot of planning to do but are very excited to have full support from so many countries, if you are a Partner that wants to participate, please send me a note and we will add you to the list.

P2P at the Golf course

I attended the fourth annual IAMCP Golf Invitational at WPC, it was amazing to see so many Partners and Microsoft colleagues from around the world, the day was filled with many P2P connections giving a nice start to the week long theme of Partner Connections.  I spent the day with my friend Sandra and Per with the film crew trying to capture some candid moments that were used in the opening video on Tuesday.  The setting was simply expectacular and a must see for anyone visiting Denver.  Our local IAMCP Chapter were our gracious host for the event and welcome everyone to the wonderful state of Colorado

I had an incredible time last night at the WPC Partner Award Ceremonies where we celebrated the achievements and success of our global partners and their innovations in technology as well as contributions to society.
 
I was glad to see that Kevin Turner and Microsoft are putting a lot of emphasis towards Citizenship and recogninzing the tremendous contributions our partners are making in the world, this was one of my highlights last night to see that we are changing the world and making  a better place to live, it was also great to see the enthusiam coming from the various countries represented.
 
I am honored and very proud to be part of such an amazing group of partners and see the power of people when we come together and work towards finding a path to success.
 
Cheers to all our Partner !  You are all outstanding !
