The Shi’a Ismaili Centre Vancouver (ICV) in Burnaby designed by Bruno Freschi, is a synthesis of traditional Islamic architectural principles and modern construction techniques.
The Centre, inaugurated in 1985, is one of BC’s best kept architectural secrets.

Comments Off on Day 3 – Zawiyah Foundation – 6945 Victoria Drive – Vancouver, Unceded Coast Salish Territory, British Columbia
Zawiyah Foundation at 6945 Victoria Drive in South Vancouver.
This is one of the Islamic Centres I missed breaking fast in during 30 Masjids in 30 Days in Metro Vancouver during Ramadan 2017.
Like breaking fast inside the White Rock Musallah on Day 1, in a sense, I am tying up loose ends here from Last Ramadan.

Comments Off on Day 2 – Islamic Centre of Nanaimo – 897 Harbour View Street – Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Inside The Islamic Centre of Nanaimo.
I eventually learned that 2018 is the first Full Ramadan at this new address, 897 Harbour View Street.
In time for Ramadan 2017, they BCMA had purchased this property and, perhaps like brother Ahmet and Muhammad in White Rock the other night with their carpet installing, the Nanaimo BCMA chapter were rushing to make 897 Harbour View usable.
For a brief period of time, Both the older address in the north end of the city was owned, and that mailing address was still being listed.
But that’s since been sold. This is the only correct Masjid address in Nanaimo.
So that answers for me why I found two different addresses online that had me confused a little bit earlier in the day.

Comments Off on Night 2 – Walking to Fajr through Chinatown – Ajyal Islamic Centre – Vancouver
Home from White Rock Muslim Association and Day 1 of 30Masjids 2018… I haven’t slept yet.
But I am repeatedly grateful to God-Alone that I am not homeless. That I have shelter.
I feed myself dates, coffee, water, a lot of water, plus a Nutrition Drink.
That does it for Sahoor, the pre-dawn meal Muslim take before beginning the Day’s Fast.
On days that I wake up in time to join the congregational Fajr/Dawn prayer at Ajyal Islamic Centre, I often pass by this exact spot in Chinatown.
Recent weeks have seen a gradual increase in the overnight temperatures.
Not this morning though. I’m sporting my winter coat en route to Fajr Prayers.
It’s hovering around 10 degrees Celsius this morning.

Comments Off on Night 1 – Moonsighting – Vancouver
AsalamAlayKum,
On Wednesday evening, May 16 2018, after praying Maghrib at Masjid Al Jamia Vancouver, I walked along the False Creek Seawall while
searching for the new moon.
The new crescent was easily sighted.
The moon was quickly descending behind the city’s skyline, but remained clearly viewable for many minutes.
