It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our dear brother, Imam Raid Miqdadi, who passed away this morning in Hamilton.Imam Raid was the Imam for Umar Masjid until his health no longer allowed him to serve our community.

30 Masjids visited Hamilton, Ontario during Ramadan 2013.
If you live in the Greater Golden Horseshoe area of Southern Ontario and are able to, please attend this Janaza / Funeral Prayer in Hamilton.
I’m currently in Halifax, Nova Scotia, otherwise I’d make an effort to attend myself.

Comments Off on CANADA | Day 2 – Iftar – Centre for Islamic Development – CID – 2728 Robie Street – Halifax, Nova Scotia
Adhan Al Asr / The Call to Late Afternoon Prayer.
Salat Al Asr / The Late Afternoon Prayer.
Adhan Al Maghrib / The Call to Sunset Prayer. Iftar, time to break the Fast.
Salat Al Maghrib / The Prayer after Sunset.
Iftar Dinner is on the Third Floor. Note the unlabeled elevator buttons that exists now for floors that are not yet built. Someone is thinking, and planning, and designing in pre-emptively for future expansion.
It’s not a BIG Public Iftar night at CID, yet there are BIG Iftar Dinner choices.
…And BIG Iftar Dinner Plates to answer those Big Appetites after a very long day of Fasting…
Salat Al Isha / The Night Prayer.
Taraweeh Prayers / The Optional Extra Nightly Prayers held during Ramadan Nights.
Cups of tea are poured and shared after Taraweeh Prayers are concluded.
A nice warm way to end this very long Day 2 of Ramadan 2016, which began at Fajr in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and ends after Taraweeh in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

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.
