I cherish the times spent within the masjid my family and I go to.

Masjid Qurtabah is our mosque of choice. Therefore I was naturally jubilant when it was reviewed as one of the 30 masjids by Himy Syed.

The jubilation soon faded as I noticed that the key features of Masjid Qurtabah were overlooked.

There is so much to say about this little Musallah.

There is so much going on, it will always be a tight fit.

Himy Syed’s bike got stolen on Wednesday morning August 1. That sort of minor theft usually doesn’t get reported in papers, but this one made it. Himy Syed has a special bike. Not that its magic or has cool gear – Himy’s bike was being used to visit 30 mosques in the GTA in the 30 days of Ramadan.

What happened next is exactly the sort of thing that makes you proud to live in Canada.

It is 3:17 a.m. early Friday Morning, August 10 2012.

It is wholly appropriate I am typing this note of thanks sitting inside a Masjid a few blocks north of Canadian Tire’s Distribution Centre on Steeles Avenue in Brampton.

I biked to Brampton, Ontario from Parkdale in Downtown Toronto yesterday, on the new bike provided by Canadian Tire after the original 30 Masjids Bike was stolen.

After the earlier CBC Radio One report and online news item, I received numerous emails with offers to help get me a set of wheels to continue 30 Masjids.

I did not know how to react.

Being without the bike had me walking Wednesday evening and using Public Transit to reach Thursday’s destination.

On Thursday August 2, Day 14 of 30 Masjids, CBC Reporter Priya Sankaran (@CBCPriya) joined me as I was en route to the FCP Musallah for Dhuhr Prayers.

This prayer space I had only ever heard about. It could be a pretty good subject for a brief item about 30 Masjids for CBC Radio One.

However that’s not the story that ended up airing every half hour Friday morning on CBC Metro Morning.

This was . . .

The Islamic Information & Dawah Centre International has appeared on 30 Masjids twice last year on Day 0 & Day 14.

For the middle Jumah in Ramadan 2012, my brother Amir and I decided to meet there and pray the Friday Prayer together.
