Night 1 – Masjid Toronto at Adelaide
07

Masjid Toronto. At Adelaide. At 84 1/2 Adelaide Street East in fact.
This is Toronto’s newest Masjid. It’s been in the works for two years. This Ramadan all that planning, fundraising, and programming will bear fruit.
Masjid Toronto at Adelaide is located across the street from St James Park. The same park which became semi-famous for being the location of Occupy Toronto.
It is a few minute’s stroll east of the Financial District. Thus it is very convenient for the countless number of Muslims who work in the Downtown Core.
In lieu of stained glass, this second downtown location managed by MAC, the Muslim Association of Canada, welcomes worshipers and greets guests with the same Decorative Privacy Film dreamed up by Apex Window Films found on Masjid Toronto‘s windows over on Dundas Street West.
I arrived a few minutes before the scheduled time for Isha prayers.
The number of worshipers on this first night of Ramadan 2013 were few. The Greater Toronto Area is experiencing a wicked storm and flooding on this night. Power is out for hundreds of thousands and commuters are still stranded on public transit at the same time as we are praying. The storm likely has kept people away tonight.
Perhaps three sisters at most are behind the newly crafted wooden barriers at the far end from me. Maybe 30 or so brothers line up beside me to pray.

Over the past two Ramadans, 30 Masjids has visited many local Muslim communities around the Greater Toronto Area and shared some of their stories in word, photo, and video.
InshAllah, this year, Ramadan 2013, we’ll head out around the Province of Ontario and maybe, just maybe, to a few spots outside Ontario taking us across Canada as well.

Comments Off on AUDIO: CBC Ontario Today – Do bricks and mortar matter?
Interview recorded for @CBCOntarioToday last week, airs today at 12:15 p.m. on #CBC Radio 1. Do tune in! #30masjids #Toronto

Himy Syed broke his fast with thirty different Muslim congregations in the GTA over the course of Ramadan. He visited apartment building basements, store fronts and grand masjids with minarets. He found beauty in them all.
Canadian author Jane Urquhart fought to try to keep a church in her community alive even though she doesn’t go to church herself.
How much do bricks and mortar matter to you?

Shaikh Abdool Hamid on Fasting the Six Days of Shawwal after Ramadan.
Ayyub (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said, “Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days from Shawwal it is as if they fasted the entire year.” [Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah; Ahmad transmitted it from Jabir, Muntaqa]
Thawban (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said, “Whoever fasts Ramadan, and then six days after Eid, it is [like fasting] an entire year. Whoever does a good deed shall have ten times its reward.” [Ibn Majah, Muntaqa]
Lecture on Wednesday August 22 2012 after Dhuhr Salat in Masjid Toronto.
