This is a briliant idea by HiMy to enable us to report our Ramadan experience at one platform. Ramadan in Toronto has been quite different as in Mumbai. In Mumbai there are lot many people and food is available on the streets whereas in Toronto its more disciplined and despite the fact that the fast duration(summer) is 1.5times than in Mumbai, it feels easier to keep roza here due to the fantastic facilities this city has to offer.
Assalamu ‘alaikum.
I tried to e-mail you the Ramadan in Kingston blog but it bounced back. Perhaps you can e-mail me and I’ll reply to that, Insha Allah.

I met Himy last year at the Jane’s Walk picnic for volunteers and learned many things during our interesting conversation. When he asked me to share about my experience of fasting, I hesitated because I am not nearly as observant as him or other guests on this site. He wanted me to say something anyway and now that I have stumbled upon this website again, I feel compelled to share my experience.
For me, fasting is a way to reduce some of the “noise” of the physical world and try to tune into the spiritual realm. There is something about not being able to run to the fridge for comfort food and having only God to run towards. That, and the way that Iftar time brings busy family members together at the table, makes fasting a special gift from God.
Such a pleasure to have our well travelled Br. Himy join us at Masjid Dar As Salam here in Canada’s smallest province. On the 8th day of Ramadan SubhaAllah we were blessed with lights, thunder and heavy rain from the sky after we shared futoor amongst island students and residents. Our best wishes on accomplishing this amazing endeavor. We sure hope to welcome you in our community again. As Salam 3laykum wa Rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuhu and Ramadan Mubarak!
This is a great initiative i accidently found this site looking for some options for annual Taste of Ramadan this year.
We will be at Churchill Square this year on June 14th. i hope to see you there in honor of Canada 150 we will be expanding our efforts out more this year.
