On Day 5 of Ramadan 2011, the inaugural year for 30 Masjids in 30 Days of Ramadan, I wrote about my visit to TARIC Islamic Centre :
“They purchased an undesirable triangle of land immediately north-east of one of the busiest highway interchanges in North America, highways 400 and 401.
“The intention was to create a landmark of Islamic architecture echoing the golden age of Islam, yet within the context of today’s Canadian design sensibilities and engineering zeitgeist.
“It was hoped, the eventual masjid would be seen by the millions of drivers who pass by annually and function as a visual form of dawah.”
