We sit down to do our Interview, Asil Moussa begins,
“Windsor’s Islamic Community is not normal…”
With that, it immediately becomes apparent this interview will also not be normal.

Comments Off on Day 12 – Dhuhr – West Windsor Musallah | 3330 Bloomfield Road, Windsor
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…

Comments Off on Day 11 – Jumah – Noor E Islam Madressah and Cultural Centre | 747 Lincoln Road, Windsor
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.

Within the RCIC on the ground floor, are wudu facilities and a complete masjid opened for all five daily prayers including Jumah on Fridays.

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,

Comments Off on Day 5 – Fajr – Bosnian Canadian Islamic Centre – Holborn Mosque | 41 Holborn Avenue, London
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.

Comments Off on Day 4 – My Story about London Muslim Mosque | By Aksa Mahmood
By Aksa Mahmood, London
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.

Comments Off on Day 4 – Jumah – Thabet, Adel & Zowrez | London Muslim Mosque
After praying Jumah in London Muslim Mosque, I struck up a conversation with students hanging out in the Reception Hall.
Thabet, Adel, and Zowrez are university students. Two of them locally at Western, one at Ryerson in downtown Toronto.
All of them are here for Ramadan.

Whenever I asked about story leads about Muslims in London, Ontario there was one name and one Institution which kept coming up.
Mohammed Baobaid and the Muslim Resource Centre for Social Support and Integration.
And that’s where the conversation would inevitably stop because people couldn’t think of anyone better to suggest. Well then, that settled it. I had to meet this Brother before I left the City.
The organization’s name is a mouthful! Everyone who told me about MRCSSI just referred to it as the Muslim Resource Centre.
We met in his office at 111 Waterloo Street shortly before the first Jumah of Ramadan 2013…

Comments Off on Day 4 – Fajr – MuslimsLive RAMADAN Radio Show | Western Muslim Students’ Association, London
It’s 3:45 a.m.
I am sitting on a bench in the London Muslim Mosque parking lot waiting for my ride to Western University.
We’re headed to the Campus Community Radio Studio for today’s Fajr time edition of MuslimsLive RAMADAN Radio Show.
A car pulls up. We’re both on time. Minutes later we are on the campus of Western University in a Student owned building which houses the Campus Radio station.
Time to air is short. The five of us pray Fajr in the hallway outside the studio doors. Right after prayers are done, the brothers hurry back to the studio, do mic checks. Moments later they are ready to go live.
