One of the last places to visit before leaving this part of Ontario is the West Windsor Musallah.
Looking it up on line, you will quickly find the address listed as 3330 Bloomfield Road. Finding the actual Musallah however, may take much longer than a quick search engine look-up…

It’s the first Jumah of Ramadan 2013.
It is incredibly hot right now across South Western Ontario, not quite unbearable, but up there.
Instead of opting for the city’s main masjid, the Windsor Islamic Association, I walked the very few blocks from where I am staying to Noor E Islam for today’s Friday Prayers.

After arriving in Windsor on Via Rail from Chatham, I walked to Noor-e-Islam Madressah and Cultural Centre at 747 Lincoln Road in the Walkerville neighbourhood.
It was mid-afternoon in-between Dhuhr and Asr. Being a small prayer space, understandably it was locked at this time of day.
I returned a couple days later around Asr time and stayed for Iftar and Taraweeh.

Day 7 of Ramadan and we are inside the Prayer Hall of the Rose City Islamic Centre in Windsor, Ontario.
It’s between Asr and Maghrib time. In the barrier-free sister’s area, a stop motion video is being recorded.
Lina, Bayan, and Amy are filming flower petals being positioned into the shape of letters spelling,
Together We Flourish
. . . the name of their organization.

Before leaving London for Chatham, there was one Masjid I had yet to visit.
The Bosnian Canadian Islamic Centre is located at 41 Holborn Avenue.
I gather many people just call it the Holborn Mosque, which is also how to find it on the internet: HolbornMosque.com.

The London Muslim Mosque located in London, Ontario was founded in 1955. As one of the oldest Mosques nationwide, it has provided a spiritual place to many Londoners over the years.
Being the fourth generation of my family to attend the London Muslim Mosque, I remember the spirit of my Great-Grandfather and his involvement with and also love for this community.
Over the years, that feeling has been passed down to all of us.
