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.”

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”

he taught me many lessons on brotherhood and this deen.
A loving husband and a father.
No health issues barely 30 yrs old.
But if it’s our time it’s our time.

Fiqh Council of North America

Fatwā regarding Ṣalāt al-Eid in light of COVID-19 lockdown

“All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and salutations be upon the Prophet ﷺ.

In light of the masāsjid being shut down due to the COVID-19 crisis and the upcoming Eid prayers,

the Fiqh Council encourages that Muslims pray Ṣalāt al-Eid in their homes with their own families

(or individually in case one is living by onself),

and there is no need for a khuṭbah.

The Eid prayer is not the same as the Friday prayer,

as Friday has different conditions and rulings.

Scholars have differed over whether attending the Eid is obligatory upon the individual or whether it is a communal obligation.

The Fiqh Council follows the view that it is a communal obligation in normal circumstances but that one is strongly encouraged to pray Eid.

While the general rule is that Eid ṣalat should be prayed in a large congregation,

it is permissible even in regular circumstances for the one who missed Eid to make it up at home.

Anas b. Mālik (RA ) once missed the Eid prayer in Basrah,

so he gathered his family and had one of his household lead them in two rak’ats.

And Aṭāʿ b. Abī Rabāḥ (d. 114 AH) said regarding one who missed the Eid prayer,

“Let him pray two rak’ats and say the takbīrs”;

as well Hammād b. Abī Sulayman (d. 120 AH),

the famous scholar of Kufa and teacher of Imam Abu Ḥanīfa,

said when asked the same question,

“He should pray as they prayed, and do the takbīrat as they did.” [Muṣannaf of Ibn Abī Shaybah, 2/4-5].

All of these reports are regarding those who missed Eid for any reason.

Given our current situation,

we advise families to observe all of the Sunnahs of Eid

(of taking a ghusl, eating a breakfast, wearing one’s best garments, saying the general takbīrat after Fajr, etc.)

and then praying a congregational prayer at home with their own families,

with the special takbīrat of Eid.

(The takbirāt of the Eid prayer vary between the legal schools – each family may follow their own school preferred school.)

All our four schools of law state that attending the khuṭbah of Eid is not obligatory,

nor is the khuṭbah a requirement of the Eid prayer,

it is not required to give Khutbah in every home.

The Fiqh Council encourages masjids to live broadcast Eid khuṭbahs,

and all families pray their individual congregational prayers at a given time,

and then,

after they finish their own Eid prayers,

they can listen to the live khutbah as a general reminder.

And Allah knows best.”

 

Prepared by Dr. Yasir Qadhi and adopted by the Fiqh Council in May of 2020.
