Comments Off on 30 MORE | World Urban Forum, Muslim Prayer Space – 4th Floor, WUF7 Green Pavillion, Plaza Mayor – Medellín, Colombia
AsalamAlayKum from the World Urban Forum in Medellín, Colombia!
With 25,000+ people registered for this United Nations sponsored Biennial forum on Cities and Urbanism, there are bound to be many, many Muslims in attendance.
On the Morning of Saturday April 5, 2014, the First Official Day of WUF7, I asked where the “Multi-Faith Prayer or Meditation Room was?”
After a few moments at one of the numerous Information Kiosks, I was taken by one of the Volunteers to the 4th Floor of the Green (see what WUF7 Organizers did there!) Pavillion.
Pleasantly surprised to see that this wasn’t a Multi-Faith Prayer Space but a Dedicated Muslim Prayer Room, for both Males and Females!
The Qibla Direction was already posted. But no prayer times.
In 2010, I attended World Urban Forum 5 in Rio De Janeiro. The Prayer Space was Multi-Faith. Friday was the last day of the WUF5, like it is now.
Then, we didn’t perform Jumah there, instead because I knew where Rio’s ONLY Masjid was, me and group of African Muslims, hopped into Mini-Buses they had rented, and we headed out to make Jumah. Upon Arrival, we had just missed it. So we all prayed Dhuhr together.
I took it upon myself to schedule a Jumah here at WUF7, InshAllah…
WUF7 Jumah Qhutbah will be at 1 p.m. on Friday April 11 2014, on the 4th Floor of the Green Pavillion, in the Muslim Prayer Room.

Comments Off on 30 MORE | VIDEO: Meet Young Brother Abdullah, Medellín, Colombia
After Jumah Prayers in Medellín, Colombia I introduced myself to Young Brother Abdullah.
He is 18 years old, Colombian, and being from Medellín, makes him a real Paisa. Which is how local residents in this city self-identify.
Abdullah embraced Islam at the age of 13.
He learned of Islam from Sister Rania, a Muslim family friend.

This is Brother Ahmed, he normally delivers The Jumah Qhutbah, The Friday Sermon, in Medellín’s only Masjid.
He wasn’t here last week, yet Alhumdulillah, Praise be to God-Alone, I was able to somewhat follow along in his mixing of Arabic and Spanish to get a gist of what his message was for this week.
Perhaps you might feel the same watching and listening. InshAllah!
Here are some images from my Second Jumah here in Medellín, Colombia…

As first, I assumed this young woman in a headscarf was a Muslim Sister, perhaps a newer Muslim who had embraced Islam locally?
I would learn she is a Student researching Islam and Muslims for her Senior Thesis.
Mariana has been present in Medellín’s only Masjid each Friday for the past several weeks. Salat al Jumah is really the only time Muslim Sisters are ever at the masjid. Hence, her research is taking a bit longer than one may think.
We ended up interviewing each other. Me for her research paper, and her for this 30Masjids blog post.

AsalamAlayKum from Medellín, Colombia!
I came here ahead of the Seventh World Urban Forum happening April 5-11, 2014.
In 2010, I attended the Fifth World Urban Forum held in Rio De Janerio, Brazil.
Both of the Muslim Communities I found in Rio De Janeiro and Medellín share some similarities:
- Both have about 100 Muslim families in total in a city of millions
- Both cities only have the single Masjid.
- Each city’s masjid are open for only part of the day, usually Maghrib and Isha prayers
InshAllah, a much longer story will be posted about this fascinating city and its Muslim story to date, including an interview with the founder of the First Masjid in Medellín, Colombia, Brother Abdul Haq!

Comments Off on 30 MORE | Charlotte Douglas Airport Chapel
I am en route ultimately to Medellín, Colombia several weeks ahead of the Seventh World Urban Forum.
If I could have, I would have prayer in the Chapel at Pearson International Airport. However the plane left Toronto before Maghrib Sunset Time, and I decided to not pray while in flight.
Originally, I decided that once I arrive in Florida, that is where I could catch up my Sunset and Night Prayer as this connection in Charlotte, North Carolina was too short to risk taking a few minutes break to pray.
Upon arriving in Charlotte Douglass Airport, my connecting flight was delayed about 40 minutes. Alhumdullilah, I could pray and InshAllah arrive in Florida having completed even my Isha Prayers on time.
A quick look at the CLT airport map and the Chapel was easy enough to locate. It’s on the second floor in the middle of the Terminal connecting all the gates. To find it, immediately go up the stairs where it says USO. Walk left, and there on the first corner on your right, is the Multi-Faith Chapel.

Comments Off on 30 MORE – GTA Eid al Adha – Shaikh Abdullah Hakim Quick | Direct Energy Centre
Abdullah Hakim Quick (@hakimquick) former Imam of Jami Mosque delivers #Eid al Adha Qhutbah #toronto http://t.co/aSgn5Fv07v
— HiMY SYeD (@HiMYSYeD) October 15, 2013
Was looking forward to listening to Shaikh Abdullah Hakim Quick as I expected his Qhutbah to be excellent, and, Alhumdulillah, it was!
This Eid al Adha Sermon touched upon the Canadian Census Numbers counting the nation’s first Muslims in 1871 right down to the most recent numbers and where the Muslims will be in Canada by 2030. And what all that means.
Abdullah Hakim’s Eid Sermon wrapped up with a very workable 10 point manifesto on how to be Contributing Canadians as we venture forth to the year 2030, when we’re expected to make up a full 5% of the Canadian Population.

Comments Off on 30 MORE – Volunteers placing Last Minute Cardboard Mats for GTA Eid al Adha Prayers | Direct Energy Centre
As usual, Alhumdulillah, I arrived very early at the Eid Prayer location and was able to secure the first best spot, right behind the Imam in the first row… And this year, that meant I would be praying behind Shaikh Abdullah Hakim Quick, who I had grown up praying behind when he was the Imam of Jami Mosque.
However, I couldn’t immediately physically place my own cloth prayer mat in “my” spot just yet.
In recent years, I would immediately lay my own prayer mat atop giant unrolled cardboard mats. This morning, upon arriving this early, I didn’t immediately think anything was out of the ordinary as I walked around a giant empty floor inside the Direct Energy Centre, minus any sign of cardboard.
Well… there was a problem.
At the last minute on Monday Evening, the regular cardboard mat supplier bailed out, leaving MAC Volunteers scrambling for replacements.

Comments Off on What makes Fasting a Special Gift from God? | By Madiha
By Madiha | Guest Blog Post
I met Himy last year at the Jane’s Walk picnic for volunteers and learned many things during our interesting conversation.
When he asked me to share about my experience of fasting, I hesitated because I am not nearly as observant as him nor other guests on this site.
He wanted me to say something anyway and now that I have stumbled upon this website again, I feel compelled to share my experience.
