After an hour of unrushed cycling, I am in front of Masjid Al-Qalam, Al-Qalam Islamic Community Center in North York.

Masjid Al Jannah, The Sri Lanka Islamic Foundation of Ontario (@SLIFO_CA).
They are located at 2201 Ellesmere Road, immediately east of Markham Road in Scarborough.
This masjid was on my list to visit as I had heard about it but had yet to visit it.
All it took were a few tweets back and forth with Hifaz Mahusoon (@hifaz_m) and this became the first Scarborough stop for 30 Masjids this year.

Day 2 – Canadian Sufi Cultural Centre

Cycling along Queen Street West.
A number of stop lights ago, I passed Hamza Masjid in Parkdale. Hamza is where I broke fast last year on Day 2 in Ramadan 2011.
Reaching Roncesvalles Avenue, which many consider the border between Parkdale and High Park neighbourhoods, the light is red. It’s the first one encountered on this bike ride. Standing at the corner, a Buddhist Monk also waits for the light to change.
Many Tibetans make Parkdale their home. It’s not unusual to see them. Nevertheless, sighting a Buddhist Monk is taken as a good omen of tonight’s intention is to break fast with The Sufis…. Read the rest of this entry »

Day 1 – Masjid . . .Toronto?

It is very late. Asr time is quickly evaporating. I will not be able to make Iftar at the original Masjid I planned upon.
I bike over to Omar Bin Khattab Masjid. Pray Asr.
Volunteers are active in beginning preparations for the first of Ramadan. One can feel the frenetic energy within the primary prayer hall. Part of me wants to park my butt here and stay until sunset.
Yet I already blogged about this Masjid last year I keep thinking.
With so many masjids in Toronto, not breaking fast in an unblogged masjid is a lost opportunity.

Not Seen: HiMY SYeD (MCW member) from Toronto Ontario reported: On Thursday July 19 2012, after praying Maghrib at Masjid Toronto in Downtown Toronto, I quickly walked one block south to Toronto City Hall. Once there I walked up the ramp to the Green Roof of City Hall to get a less obstructed view of the western horizon. It had been overcast for the better part of the day. The evening was no different. The western sky was almost completely still filled with clouds. Nevertheless, I searched the few clear spots in the cloud cover for about ten minutes. No moon was sighted.
After Maghrib/Sunset Prayers but before Iftar Dinner, searched for New Moon. No luck. #Ramadan #Toronto http://t.co/OJQIywte
