Comments Off on 30 MORE | VIDEO – Candlelight Vigil for Islamic Centre of Québec – Front steps of Al-Masjid Al-Jamia – Vancouver, Unceded Coast Salish Territory, British Columbia, Canada
A candlelight vigil was held Monday night in front of Vancouver’s original Masjid, Al-Masjid Al-Jamia.
Gregor Robertson Mayor of Vancouver, Four City Councillors, Two Rabbis, One Reverend, Board members of Al-Masjid Al-Jamia all spoke.
I also stepped up and shared a few words about my 30 Masjids visit this past Ramadan to the Islamic Centre of Québec. But I did not record myself, so that’s missing from the video.
Standing for a moment before I spoke, looking out into the night, I saw a sea of people. The sea had spilled out onto West 8th Avenue itself. So many Vancouverites had turned out.
I honestly expected maybe two dozen people at most who might come out. As you can see in the almost 52 minute video, many dozens more actually did.
We were all Canadians. We were all affected by the events in Sainte Foy, Québec.
For whatever comes next, we know we Canadians are all in this together.

Whose Line is it Anyway? — Sh. Jamac Hareed
The ever-changing opinion of Islam and Muslims around the world especially in the media, particularly given recent political events, is depicted as darkness. It is clearly not an accurate representation of our faith and our communities. So how do we reclaim the light the Allah (swt) has given us? What is our responsibility as servants of Allah (swt)? Sh. Jamac Hareed describes how to turn darkness into positive action and light.

Comments Off on 30 MORE | JUMAH – Vancouver Muslim Community Centre – Queen Elizabeth Theatre Plaza – Vancouver, British Columbia
Vancouver Muslim Community Centre usually hosts Friday Jumah Prayers in the Auditorium of the Central Branch of the Vancouver Public Library.
The Auditorium wasn’t available this week, so VMCC moved Jumah across the street and held it outdoors.
Nice Change. Nice Qhutbah (Sermon) too.

Comments Off on CANADA | VIDEO – HïMY SYeD – Eid Al Fitr – Day 31 of 30 Canadian Masjids in 30 Days – Vancouver, British Columbia
Concluding Video for 30 Masjids Across Canada in 30 Days, recorded during Muslim Association of Canada’s Eid Al Fitr Festival inside the Vancouver Convention Centre.
There are one or two more stories I hope to add in the coming days to properly wrap up Ramadan 2016.
There are photos I was unable to edit and didn’t include in existing stories.
InshAllah, will do all that soon.
For now, I need to take a nice long rest, here in Vancouver. If you can offer up a nice place to crash, please let me know!
If you’re in Lower Mainland of BC and would like to connect before I leave Vancouver, please hit me up via Twitter: @30Masjids.
That’s it for the moment.
Eid Mubarak!
