Mr. Zoltan! Mr. Zoltan!
Shouts the little boy wanting the attention of his Islamic Studies summer school teacher.
We are on the second floor of a building on Oxford Street East in London, Ontario.
The Muslim Association of Canada, has transformed what was standard office space back in 2007 into the very busy London MAC Youth Centre of today.
Four days a week this summer, any number of Muslim students can be heard in the halls shouting, Mr. Zoltan! Mr. Zoltan!

Unfortunately the Reflection on Islam program has been discontinued on the radio.

Comments Off on Day 2 – Fasting Safely with Diabetes
Got Diabetes?
Yet still eager to fast?
Too bad.
Until recently you were out of luck.
Fasting safely as option for Muslims with Diabetes is something new and still developing.
I first noticed the flyer pictured above pinned to a bulletin board the moment I first entered the London Muslim Mosque. Ever since, I’ve kept seeing the flyer at various Muslim points of interest I’ve visited.

Comments Off on Day 1 – CTV London: Ramadan to begin for Muslim community
Ramadan is set to begin for the #LdnOnt Muslim community, @CaraCampbellCTV looks at what it means: http://t.co/5ImlH4KLWY @CTVNews
— CTV London (@CTVLondon) July 10, 2013
One of the first things I did after arriving at the London Muslim Mosque and praying my Dhuhr Prayers on time in congregation, was learning CTV London was coming to record a segment for their 6 p.m. news broadcast.
I happened to spot them in the parking lot as they arrived and found myself being a one person welcoming committee. I lead them to the office and introduced them to who they had come to interview.

Comments Off on Day 1 – London, Ontario – Meeting Haroon Babur
Just arrived in London, Ontario from Toronto. Let’s see if we can make afternoon prayers at @LondonMosque. InshAllah. #30days #Ramadan2013
— HiMY SYeD (@30masjids) July 9, 2013
I’ve arrived in time at the London Muslim Mosque for afternoon Dhuhr Prayers having travelled by bus from Downtown Toronto earlier this morning.
However, Day 1 of 30 Masjids Ontario does not necessarily mean Day 1 of Ramadan in London, Ontario.
This Muslim Community determines the start of Lunar months by actual moonsighting reports, hence Ramadan locally will begin tomorrow, Wednesday July 10 2013.
Having personally decided to start my Ramadan going by pre-determined lunar calculations, it is already the first full day of fasting for me.
InshAllah, God-Alone Willing, I’ll spend more than one day here in London, with several different stories being shared on the blog. I’ve barely been here a few hours, and story-wise already have several promising leads.

Comments Off on Day 1 – Fajr – Masjid Toronto Re-opens
Masjid Toronto has appeared on the blog previously, so this is just a quick update.

Share it:
Masjid Toronto. At Adelaide. At 84 1/2 Adelaide Street East in fact.
This is Toronto’s newest Masjid. It’s been in the works for two years. This Ramadan all that planning, fundraising, and programming will bear fruit.
Masjid Toronto at Adelaide is located across the street from St James Park. The same park which became semi-famous for being the location of Occupy Toronto.
It is a few minute’s stroll east of the Financial District. Thus it is very convenient for the countless number of Muslims who work in the Downtown Core.
In lieu of stained glass, this second downtown location managed by MAC, the Muslim Association of Canada, welcomes worshipers and greets guests with the same Decorative Privacy Film dreamed up by Apex Window Films found on Masjid Toronto‘s windows over on Dundas Street West.
I arrived a few minutes before the scheduled time for Isha prayers.
The number of worshipers on this first night of Ramadan 2013 were few. The Greater Toronto Area is experiencing a wicked storm and flooding on this night. Power is out for hundreds of thousands and commuters are still stranded on public transit at the same time as we are praying. The storm likely has kept people away tonight.
Perhaps three sisters at most are behind the newly crafted wooden barriers at the far end from me. Maybe 30 or so brothers line up beside me to pray.

Bismillah…
Over the past two Ramadans, 30 Masjids has visited many local Muslim communities around the Greater Toronto Area and shared some of their stories in word, photo, and video.
InshAllah, this year, Ramadan 2013, we’ll head out around the Province of Ontario and maybe, just maybe, to a few spots outside Ontario taking us across Canada as well.
