Last night I had requested the @cityofmarkham and our honourable Councillor @khalidusman to allow the Markham Masjid to mark sundown each evening for the month of Ramadan by giving the Athan outside.
Alhamdulilah this morning we received approval 🙏🏻#RamadanAtHome pic.twitter.com/fKJ7UUer0E

Markham Masjid started broadcasting the Maghrib adhan over loudspeaker today & I’m so blessed to break my fast by the sound of adhan through my window Alhumdulilah

On an overcast and slighty rainy Sunday evening as Maghrib Sunset time arrived,
The First Ever Public Adhan Al Maghrib, The Call to Sunset Prayer, was broadcast in Markham, Ontario, a city immediately north of Toronto.
I understand they will broadcast The Call to Sunset Prayer, via loudspeakers, every night during Ramadan 2020.
As you see from Sister Aisha’s tweet, at least one Neighbourhood Muslimah can break her fast while listening to this Public Adhan.
Alhumdulillah.
Alhamdulilah Maghrib Azaan at Markham Masjid. Thank you to everyone that helped make this happen. #RamadanAtHome pic.twitter.com/yL8wYzlrCn

Markham Masjid is one of the few Masjids I have yet to visit in person.
InshAllah, a future in-person visit to write up a proper 30Masjids story.
Markham Masjid is located at 2900 Denison Street and is one of two Masjids operated by The Islamic Society of Markham.
That means I’ll have to visit ISM’s newer, second masjid location too !
