Shaikh Yūsuf Badāt, Imam of the Islamic Foundation of Toronto, is livestreaming a daily 30 minute pre-Iftar program everyday during Ramadan 2020.

During the first week of Ramadan, program begins at 7:15 p.m. then for the rest of the month, programs begin at 7:45 p.m. EDT.

We cordcutted Cable TV last year and now watch TV at home using an IPTV box.

The IPTV box brings in thousands of channels.

One of those is the EAWAZ TV LIVE Channel.

Had no idea I already had this channel. Found and favourited it quickly.

Program ended at 7:45 p.m.

Two minutes later at 7:47 p.m. today’s Reflections On Islam Special Ramadan Daily Radio Program began.

We tuned into Reflections On Islam, listened until they aired Adhan Al Maghrib, The Call to Sunset Prayer, and we broke our fast.

This was our Iftar Spread from which we broke fast on this First Ramadan of 2020.

For the past ten years of doing this 30 Masjids in 30 Days, I would take a photo of me holding the date which I bit into to break my fast.

This was tonight’s break fast date plus a glass of Rooh Afza made with milk.

With the Pandemic in Progress, and Masjids in Lockdown, this year the project is 30 Masjids At Home in 30 Days of Ramadan 2020.

So tonight’s Salat Al Maghrib, The Prayer after Sunset, we prayed at home in the living room.

Alhumdulilah.

Today is the First of FIVE Fridays in Ramadan 2020.

During the Pandemic Lockdown, Masjids are closed and regular Friday Prayer locations are empty.

There are no congregational Friday Jumah Prayers.

More established masjids and organizations with audio/video setup, have been webcasting since mid-March 2020.

Smaller Masjids, Musallahs, or Islamic Centres have stopped services altogether with no online effort made.

When time for Friday Prayers comes around, I have seen three things so far :

  • Cancel Friday Prayers altogether ~ No online programming
  • Masjids have been livestreaming a Friday Sermon / Jumah Qhutbah, with absolute minimum number of people inside the building ~ People watch Qhutbah online, then complete regular Dhuhr prayer in their home
  • Virtual Friday Talks which are not a Jumah Qhutbah, yet are lectures livestreamed in the same timeslot

For my First Friday of Ramadan 2020, I watched Shaikh Musleh Khan’s Live Friday Talk streamed on Islamic Institute of Toronto‘s Youtube Channel.

Afterwards, my brother and I prayed the four rakats of the afternoon Dhuhr Prayers in the living room.

Incidentally,

Last year on First Friday of Ramadan 2019,

I prayed Jumah at IIT, and photoblogged the visit.

What a difference !

Egg , Roti , Folgers . . .

Ramadan 2020 / Ramadan 1441 Mubarak

Video Greetings from Canadians TO Canadians . . .

UPDATE: The above youtube video is a montage of the following Ramadan Mubarak videos tweeted between April 22 and April 24 2020.

Watching them all together is a very different experience than watching them one by one.

Almost hypnotic !
