“Beautiful sunrise over lake ontario with downtown Toronto skyline.

Taken after fajr today (after 27th night) May 20, 2020”

“In my opinion, the sunrise looked similar to every other day. Very bright.

I do not think there was a distinction between yesterday and today.

For all who do not know:

The sunrise after the night of laylat al qadr rises differently than any other day of the year.

It is said that there are enough angels on earth that they blot out the sun’s rays.

The sunrise is distinctive to the naked eye, and as far as I know, there is no scientific reasoning for this.

Very interesting.”

🌕 – 27th of #Ramadan Laylatul Qadr!

A sound report from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) indicates that the sign of LaylatAl Qadr is that the sun rises on the following morning with no visible rays.

May Allah accept from us

That was in Ottawa, Ontario

These are from Winnipeg, Manitoba

27th sunrise in central Canada

“It [Laylatul Qadr] is a shining night, neither hot nor cold, and in the morning next to it the sun rises red with no rays.”

[Ibn Khuzaymah]

Allah knows best.

We should keep maximizing our efforts,
as there are still a few nights left.

May Allah accept our worship and prayers.

Much respect to Brother Spider-Man 🙏😂😂 ‏لو سبايدر مان كان مسلم

A post shared by Ramadan Kareem 🌙 (@g_dulla_mulla) on

“…From a prayer guide published by the Turkish department of religious affairs and was geared towards teaching praying (salat in Arabic and Namaz in Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Hindi and Bengali) to children.”

“The second image is supposed to be a spoof of the first one and was created by the more secular elements of the Turkish society to illustrate their viewpoint of the new influence of religion in the public sphere.”

Muhammad Aurangzeb Ahmad, IslamSciFi.com

Which brings us to that time I was riding the rocket in Toronto . . .

The Toronto Batman vs Toronto Spider-Man.

 

 

The Qur’an and the Miracle of the Spider : “… if they but knew.”

Friend & Supporter of 30Masjids, Faisal Kutty,

Along with Mustafa Farooq were interviewed by Indus News.

They were discussing Public Adhan in Canada.

While the segment was playing,

On screen in-between both speakers,

The very recognizable Jami Mosque main prayer hall appeared.

Clip looked so familiar to me . . .

And, yes!

Alhamdulillah,

The clip which was looped to accompany their discussion was recorded by me inside Toronto’s Jami Mosque on Day 9 of Ramadan 2015 !

Asad Ghondal,

Chairman of the BC Muslim Association’s Surrey / Delta branch,

Asked The City of Surrey to allow Public Adhans at Surrey Jamea Masjid at 12407 72 Avenue.

Vancouver and neighbouring Burnaby now have Public Adhans for the remainder of Ramadan 2020.

“The area where we it is,
it’s a very dense population with the Muslim community.
We respect the bylaws,
we respect the community diversity,
we always respect the community space.”

His request was for a two minute prayer for ten days, starting May 13th.

The City of Surrey responded :

 

The City of Surrey BC initially agreed to a Single Public Call to Prayer, to be broadcast on the Final Night of Ramadan 2020.

Asad Ghondal wrote back to The City two more times.

Eventually, they agreed to allow broadcasting The Call to Prayer for only Five nights, beginning Monday 18 2020

“Asalamualaykum WRB

I hope this message finds all of you well, in the best of health and Islamic spirit.

BCMA is the leading organization for Muslims in BC.

We have always taken a lead in catering to the wants and needs of our community.

In the light of that,

it is with extreme gratitude and honor that I am announcing,

from the initiative taken by the BCMA Surrey/Delta Branch – Surrey Jamea Masjid,

we have gotten the permission to call out the Adhaan for five days,

Alhamdulillah.

We contacted the Mayor’s office on the 6th fast of Ramadan to get permission to broadcast the Adhaan for Maghrib time.

We had taken this step very early even before the approvals in North America.

As there were approvals of Adhaan within North America where the Muslim population was not dense, we thought we should definitely present a stronger case to the city for an approval.

We gathered the support of our community and I have always seen the support of my board of directors and especially that of my President, Br. Iltaf Sahib.

The first person that I contacted in this whole experience was our MP for our locality the Honorable Sukh Dhaliwal.

He has always shown the Muslim community his support and for that,

Alhamudillah, we are grateful.

It was not an easy road but we have gotten what we set out to achieve.

Alhamdulillah, we stood together as a community and our voices were one rather than divided and for that,

I would like to thank each and every one of you that stood with me.

I want to give a special thanks to the Surrey City Council Members that were first to stand with us and give us assurance their support would be with us.

I want to give my sincerest thanks and extreme gratitude to all those that have stood with me.

  • Bilal Cheema
  • Shaukat Khan of Pakistan Canada Association
  • Zeeshan Wahla and Dave Hans of Electrical & Mechanical Engineering Consultants
  • Ashiana Khan of Media Waves

Once again,

I want to give my sincerest thanks to Mayor Doug Mccallum and the Surrey City Council Council their support.

We will broadcast the Adhaan for five days, InshaAllah.

I wanted to congratulate everyone that stood with me during this difficult time and showed tremendous amount of support.

May Allah SWT bless each and every one of you. Ameen.

PS: I also wanted to say to those people that were unsure of when the request for Adhaan become a request.

Some people, without taking any names, began to use this to their own agendas for political gains and taking credit for something they — not only did not start, but also didn’t finish.

I want to congratulate those people as well.

JazakAllah Khair,

Muhammad Asad Gondal
Chairman
Surrey Jamea Masjid
BCMA”
