Comments Off on Day 28 – OMNI Television Interview – Al Mahdi Islamic Community Centre – Hamlet of Cherry Wood – Durham Region
[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/30masjids/status/236197133664014336″]
We just wrapped up filming an interview about 30 Masjids.
The segment was filmed by OMNI TV (@OMNITelevision) Cameraman Walter with Reporter Meetu Khosla (@meetukhosla) conducting the Interview.
UPDATE (Friday 3:32 p.m.): From Meetu Khosla,
…wanted to let you know that we have decided to air your interview on Monday since Ramadan will be over, and it might be more timely.
Monday is actually much better. More people can watch the story on Monday than trying to catch it tonight with Ramadan related responsibilities being a priority over TV News. – HiMY
Watch for it on Friday MONDAY Evening on the South Asian Edition of OMNI News.
Will post a link once the interview goes online.
Thank You OMNI Television !
Can’t wait to see it!

Ramadan is a month eagerly awaited by Muslims around the world.
It was during this month that the Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). It’s a month of initiation that systematically dismantles egotism and induces sympathy for the sufferings of the weak and the vulnerable. It generously grants us the time and space to understand what drives us, analyze our emotional blocks, wounds and anxieties and master them.

Comments Off on 30 MORE: Toronto’s 30Masjids & New York City’s 30Mosques…
[blackbirdpie url=”https://twitter.com/HiMYSYeD/status/235521984103071747″]
What’s the Difference Between Aman Ali (@AmanAli) and Bassam Tariq (@curry_crayola)’s 30Mosques and our Toronto’s own 30Masjids?

Comments Off on Introducing: 30 MORE
My intention was to get to this much earlier in the month. Like in the First Ten Day of Ramadan…
Instead, here we are on the eve of the 27th Night of Ramadan.
However, as my brother Amir once told me.
If it wasn’t for the last minute, nothing would ever get done.
This Blog and project, 30 Masjids.ca – 30 Masjids in 30 days in The Greater Toronto Area was originally inspired by Bassam Tariq and Aman Ali’s 30 Mosques Ramadan tour of New York City in 2009 and 2010.
They inadvertantly began a worldwide movement.
Muslims now blog daily visits to different masjids all over the world.
You can see a number of their RSS feeds along the right sidebar ——>
If you haven’t clicked on a link or two, please do.
They are all well written, and well worth your precious Ramadan Time.
InshAllah, a review of their best posts and a summary of each of their Ramadan Travels so far will be posted here in 30 MORE.

Comments Off on A stolen bike, Canadian Tire and Lowes | By Naeem Siddiqi

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.

Comments Off on @CanadianTire… 30 Thanks !!!
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.
