“Shawwal – Eid Al-Fitr 1442/ 2021

1st Shawwal / Eid Al-Fitr 1442 is on 13 May 2021.

The Crescent Council of Canada hereby officially declares Eid Al-Fitr (Shawwal 1st) for Thursday the 13th of May, 2021.

Ramadan will conclude with 30 days. 12th May being the last day of fasting.

We wish everyone a blessed Eid Al-Fitr Mubarak.

We pray for accepted fasting, worship and charity.

May the world quickly heal from the current pandemic.

There were no reports of reliable sightings across the international horizons on the eve of 29th Ramadan (11th May).

Astronomical calculations also indicate the impossibility of sighting.
​
We are aware of reported sightings in Niger, Mali and Cote D’Ivoire however are not accepting the reports due to the sun setting before the birth of the new moon in the region.

We further have verification of no sightings in Mauritania, Algeria, Tunis, Libya, Lebanon, Sudan, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Bahrain, Palestine, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia and Europe. “

“***LIVE***

Resilient Hour | from the Islamic Institute of Toronto

The hour before the breaking of the fast is perhaps the most difficult;

yet it signifies the strong will of the believer to take the hardship of the day to its conclusion and to take comfort in the knowledge that we will accomplish yet another day of worship.”

Comments Off on Day 29 – VIDEO – Bosnian Islamic Centre – 75 Birmingham Street – Etobicoke

Every Ramadan since I began 30 Masjids in 30 Days,

Except when I was out of town doing 30 Masjids Canada and 30 Masjids Vancouver,

And again Last Year because of the Pandemic,

I made an effort to visit and pray inside the Bosnian Islamic Centre in Etobicoke.

This year, the masjid has been closed during Ramadan.

I still wanted to at least visit it in person,

Even if only standing in front of it.

So I did today, Day 29 of Ramadan 2021.

Eid Mubarak Everybody !

Day 28 – VIDEO – Drive-In Iftar – Islamic Centre of Canada – ISNA – 2200 South Sheridan Way – Mississauga, Ontario

Comments Off on Day 28 – VIDEO – Drive-In Iftar – Islamic Centre of Canada – ISNA – 2200 South Sheridan Way – Mississauga, Ontario

 

” 25,598 “

That’s the number of Iftar Meals that will have been picked up by day’s end

during all of Ramadan 2021 at Islamic Centre of Canada in Mississauga.

Our household can account for 12 of those 25,598 picked up during one Drive-Thru Iftar and two Drive-In Iftars !

This Final Iftar Pickup Day was expanded from Four to Five scheduled Iftar Pickup timings.

We booked the first one at 5 p.m. and arrived just as the low frequency FM radio program began,

The “Iftar Radio Show” on 90.5 FM.

Shaikh Alaa Elsayed was the radio show’s Master of Ceremonies.

Because of being in the first Drive-In Iftar cohort,

A small stage was still being set up in front.

Area Politicians would be arriving & I imagine they’d stand on it to be visible to people inside their vehicles.

What is encouraging to witness,

Is how younger people have been entrusted with logistics decision making & process re-invention.

This Ramadan 2021 began with 15% Indoor Capacity allowed for Houses of Worship,

But was reduced to only 10 people allowed indoors during Week 2 of Ramadan 2021.

ISNA Canada worked with the rules as they were and transformed the Drive-Thru Iftar

Into a “Drive-In” outdoors stay-in-car Iftar Pickup that met Provincial Rules for Drive-By services for Houses of Worship.

Some Masjids and Organizations experience stasis due to “Founders Syndrome”,

When well meaning “Uncles” do not retire to make space for following generations of stewardship.

Once up a time that might have been ISNA Canada.

Today,

During a Pandemic,

Drive-Thru, and then Drive-In Iftars,

Confirm Islamic Centre of Canada is in good hands.

Young Hands.

Eid Mubarak Everybody !

Day 26 – VIDEO – Community Drive-Thru Iftar – Masjid Khalid Bin Al Walid (Khalid Mosque) – 16 Bethridge Road – Etobicoke

Comments Off on Day 26 – VIDEO – Community Drive-Thru Iftar – Masjid Khalid Bin Al Walid (Khalid Mosque) – 16 Bethridge Road – Etobicoke

 

Masjid Khalid Bin Al-Walid hosted a Free First Come, First Served,

Drive-Thru Iftar on Saturday May 8 2021.

This was their second ever Drive-Thru Iftar,

following the one they did last year during Ramadan 2020.

We arrived shortly before the official 7 p.m. start time,

And they were ready to receive us.

They had at least three Iftar Table Stations set up with sets of volunteers at each one.

This would space out and speed up with the efficient Iftar Pickups in a tightly spaced parking lot.

Being among the first arrivals,

We experienced what has become a theme during our Drive-Thru Iftar masjid visits this year,

Volunteers weren’t as ready to immediately accept cash donations as they were with handing the Iftar Pickups.

That’s okay.

Everyone arriving and donating after us would benefit from whatever readiness was made up on the fly because of our Sadaqah, Masjid, and Zakat donations.

The Iftar from Masjid Khalid Bin Al-Walid was incredible !

They made efforts to include everything you’d want in an Iftar Dinner.

It was GENEROUS,

Alhumdulillah.

Each serving included small items for dessert.

They insisted on water bottles for each of us in the car.

Even plastic utensils were in the bag.

The dinners were different.

We got macaroni and cheese with BBQ chicken wings versions ,

Plus one dinner with rice and boneless chicken.

Khalid Masjid is currently fundraising to renovate the roof among other regular operating costs,

You can help here :

During the Lockdown,

This Masjid has continued to provide Janaza / Funeral services.

Masjid Khalid Bin Al-Walid first opened to the public in December 1998.

I first blogged about Masjid Khalid Bin Al-Walid on Day 8 of Ramadan 2012.
