The Muslim Students’ Association at Memorial University in St. John’s provides Free Iftar for its campus community each weekday during Ramadan.

Comments Off on CANADA | Day 1 – Sahoor – Fajr – The Brothers’ House – “125” – St. John’s, Newfoundland
You can’t find it on IslamicFinder. You won’t see it on Salat-o-Matic.
This may be Newfoundland’s third Musallah. Yet it’s much more than that…
40 minutes until Dawn, until Fasting, begins in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
2:15 a.m. and I’m knocking on the door of “125”.

Comments Off on JUMAH | Friday Prayer before Ramadan Starts – Usman Gousi Mosque – 75 Kirkdene Road, Port Union Village – Scarborough, Ontario
Today for Jumah, Friday Congregational Prayers, I found myself with friends observing in Port Union Village, Scarborough.
This eastern most district in Toronto is home to three neighbourhood masjids.
Usman Gousi Mosque is located at 75 Kirkdene Road.
The Reminder is in Urdu. The short, very short sermon is in Arabic.
The school of thought of the worshippers and maintainers of this masjid is South Asian Sufi.
The building is a former neighbourhood Church, which you may glean for the partially painted Cross in the north-facing wall.

Comments Off on 30Masjids CANADA – Ramadan 2016 – Newfoundland to British Columbia in 30 Days
Bismillah…
AsalamAlayKum, Peace and Greetings be upon each of you.
Ramadan 2016 is a few days away, hours actually, and InshAllah (God-Alone Willing), 30Masjids will be blogging daily stories and updates.
30Masjids began blogging in Ramadan 2011, initially focusing on Muslims in Toronto, their History, Architecture, meeting and Featuring People, breaking the daily fast, and sharing lesser known Canadian stories.
30 Masjids ONTARIO – Ramadan 2013
Ramadan 2013 found us exploring The Province of Ontario, visiting Masjids and Islamic Centres from London to Windsor to Sault St. Marie to North Bay to Ottawa (including a hop over the Quebec Border!) and back to Toronto for Eid.
30 Masjids CANADA – Ramadan 2016 – Newfoundland to British Columbia
- Is there one Muslim Canadian Identity? Or many?
- Do All Muslim Canadians Break Fast The Same Way?
- How do Muslims in Northern Latitudes handle very long summertime fasts?
- 8 Rakats of Taraweeh (Extra Night Prayers), or 20? Coffee, Tea, Red Bull?
- Fort McMurray Muslims… so many stories…
- …and… going with the flow, 10 Canadian Provinces, 30 Masjids, in 30 Days.
InshAllah, 30Masjids will be visiting Masjids all over Canada during this Ramadan 2016.
To our knowledge, this may be the first-ever 30-Masjids-in-30-Days-during-Ramadan-in-Canada blogging journey….
Starting in St. John’s, Nfld. on Sunday June 5 2016 at Muslim Association of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Then Halifax, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec….
From Montreal, InshAllah, we’ll head west to Thunder Bay in North West Ontario, and then points West.
Before the Forest Fires devasted Fort McMurray, Alberta, I had intended to visit there.
Instead, we’ll spend more time in Edmonton, where many Fort McMurray Muslims had evacuated to.
Already a number of good story leads are from Alberta, InshAllah, we’ll follow up and share those Stories.
The Intention is to end Ramadan 2016 in Victoria, British Columbia and observe Eid-al-Fitr in Vancouver.
This year’s Trans-Canada Ramadan journey is informed by Environics’ recently released Survey of Muslims in Canada 2016.
Much is gleaned from the survey results yet curiosities remain.
InshAllah, we’ll explore and hopefully answers those curiosities, blog post by blog post, day by day, province by province.
Ramadan 2017
There are many locations beyond reach in only one month.
Notably, four Masjids in Canada’s Northern Territories.
Hence, 30 Masjids Canada, will aspire to be a two-year-project, beginning this Ramadan 2016 and concluding next Ramadan 2017.
Guest Blogging
As always, 30Masjids encourages and welcomes YOUR Stories via Guest Blogging.
30Masjids has always welcomed Guest Bloggers, from around Toronto, and around The World.
Donate

Salam, Peace.

Comments Off on 30 MORE | DOT16 Doors Open Toronto 2016: Islamic Information & Dawah Centre – Jerrahi Canadian Sufi Cultural Centre – Aga Khan Museum – Ismaili Centre Toronto
Doors Open Toronto is always the Last Weekend in May.
This year, DOT16, offers four very different Islamic or Muslim related locations who are opening their doors welcoming in The General Public:
- Islamic Information & Dawah Centre International
- Canadian Sufi Cultural Centre – Jerrahi Canada
- The Aga Khan Museum
- Ismaili Centre Toronto
The Dawah Centre & Jerrahi Canada, also opened their doors for DOT14:
- 30 MORE | Doors Open Toronto 2014 – Jerrahi Sufi Order of Canada
- 30 MORE | Doors Open Toronto 2014 – Islamic Information & Dawah Centre International
Logistically, if you’re up for visiting all four locations, it makes sense to perhaps do it over two days.
