Comments Off on Day 19 – VIDEO – First IIT No-Contact Iftar Drive-Thru & Cupcake Pickup – Islamic Institute of Toronto – 1630 Nielson Road, Scarborough
We had to wait until the second half of Ramadan 2021,
For IIT to host their First Drive-Thru Iftar of the year.
This is technically IIT’s Second Annual Drive-Thru Cupcake pickup too!
Gates would open at 5 p.m.
We arrived a dozen minutes early.
Incidentally we pre-ordered a dozen cupcakes.
We were the third car in what became a line of cars along southbound curb lane of Nielson Road.
Logistically,
IIT organized and executed well.
Volunteer at the front gate directed drivers into one of two queues in separate areas of the parking lot.
One queue for Pre-Ordered Cupcake Pick Ups,
Second queue for Drive-Thru Iftar only Pick Up.
Before entering into the smaller parking area where the pick ups happen . . .
This volunteer brother informed us where to park if we were also making monetary donations to IIT today.
I believe it was Brother Fareed Amin who greeted us and confirmed our Cupcake pre-order at the first set of open doors.
Unlike Ramadan 2020’s Cupcake Drive-Thru,
Instead of one Large Plastic Container holding 12 Cupcakes,
And a smaller size Plastic Container holding 6 Cupcakes,
IIT only used the smaller six space Cupcake holders this year.
This allowed flexibility in mixing and matching multiples of 6,
Of all Chocolate, all Vanilla, or one of each like our pre-order of 12 Cupcakes.
Any mathematician will recognize this decision as wise.
The second set of open doors were for Iftar Pickup.
Which was quick, with two Iftars per paper bag.
Also wise ?
The portion size of the Biryani Chicken, with Tender Beef hidden inside the rice (!)
Just enough food but not too much.
IIT’s Drive-Thru Iftar was Balanced.

﷽
وَإِذْ يَمْكُرُ بِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيُثْبِتُوكَ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوكَ أَوْ يُخْرِجُوكَ وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِين
“And
˹remember, O Prophet,˺
when the disbelievers conspired to capture,
kill,
or exile you.
They planned,
but Allah also planned.
And Allah is the best of planners.”
— Surah Al-Anfal, The Spoils of War,
Chapter 8: Verse 30 in The Holy Qur’an
Ayah describes EXACTLY what this UNSANCTIONED EID PRAYER IS :
Disbelievers who are PLOTTING to KILL US using the Corona Virus.
KILL US by creating an ILLEGAL COVID-19 Super Spreader event.
STATEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT: The ‘Proper Eid Prayer’ event is an unsanctioned gathering that threatens the health and wellbeing of Muslims. Read more below. For more information please visit our website: https://t.co/4lelbA7Yl7 pic.twitter.com/lu2OXKuT9x

‘PROPER EID PRAYER’ EVENT: AN UNSANCTIONED GATHERING
May 1, 2021 | Ramadan 19, 1442 AH
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Abundant Peace, Blessings and Salutations upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
We, at the Canadian Muslim COVID-19 Task Force, supported by the National Council of Canadian Muslims,
the Muslim Council of Peel,
the Muslim Medical Association of Canada,
and the Canadian Council of Imams
have reviewed an announcement circulating within our communities regarding a gathering labelled as “Proper Eid Prayer” being organized in Mississauga, Ontario,
in contravention of public health orders.
This event threatens the health and well-being of Muslims
and is
apparently being hosted by a group with a non-Muslim leadership and notorious anti-masker conspiracy theorists.
One of the key articles of our faith is the preservation of life.
Our rich history has a clear precedent of quarantine measures,
restricting mobility during plagues,
taking vaccines and deferring to health experts amidst a health crisis.
We are proud of our Canadian faith leaders and community members as they continue to lead the way in keeping our homes,
mosques,
communities and country safe by following all public health directives.
At the same time we are in great distress as our essential workers and racialized community members,
especially within the region of Peel,
continue to disproportionately pay the ultimate price during this deadly third wave.
We suspect that some media agencies may take this opportunity to report on this call for the defiance of public health orders.
As a measure of caution,
we highly recommend they do their research,
do not re-share information that propagates falsehoods
and identify this group’s call for what it is – a non-Muslim led, anti-mask, anti-lockdown gathering.
The UNSANCTIONED Eid Al Fitr Gathering advertising looks like this :
( minus the red I scratched out )
IGNORE THE ABOVE ADVERTISING wherever you find it.
It is FITNA
@cmcovidtf just released a critical statement. We are proud that our communities & faith leaders continue to follow the #PublicHealth measures despite the hardship of doing so in #Ramadan. Always remembering that preserving life is integral to our faith! https://t.co/BEb8l0HXKo

When Ramadan ends, Muslims celebrate with Eid (includes morning prayers). But in this third COVID-19 wave, this “Proper Eid Prayer” Mississauga event is reckless & endangers the health of the ENTIRE community.
Thanks for proactive action, @cmcovidtf! https://t.co/pMSEWOn6tA https://t.co/baGXzlPpt1
— Farah Qaiser (@this_is_farah) May 1, 2021
Thank you for releasing this statement. These types of actions are not aligned with Islamic ethics. InshAllah we will all unite together in eid prayer once it is safe to do so ❤️ https://t.co/i3aP5hL2vd

Comments Off on 30 MORE | Day 18 – “MAC ICCO mobile vaccination clinic ready to go!!” – Muslim Association of Canada – Islamic Community Centre of Ontario – Mississauga
On Day 15 of Ramadan 2021,
MAC ICCO opened online Vaccination Popup Clinic Registration.
All 7,000 Appointments were filled in less than 2 hours.
Today,
Islamic Community Centre of Ontario Vaccine Clinic is all set up and ready to receive clients . . .
Many of those registered are Muslims living in Mississauga and Brampton.
Ironically,
With the Provincial Stay-at-Home order still in effect and Houses of Worship in Ontario currently limited to only 10 people inside at any one time,
This Vaccination Clinic may the only time many of Peel Region’s Muslims will be able to spend any time at all inside a Msjid.
So,
This might be your only chance to make intention for Iʿtikāf ( اعتكاف ) inside a masjid during this second Pandemic Ramadan!
Welcome to Islamic Community Centre of Ontario.
The ICCO.
Normally a Masjid, transformed these days into a Pop Up Vaccination Clinic.
Where you show up with your Vaccine Booking information to sign in and be directed to a Vaccine Station.
The Vaccine Station where you sit beside a trained vaccine doser and get the jab.
These are the physically distanced chairs you sit in for the full 15 minutes after you get your first dose.
A safety precaution.
Most people feel fine after getting their first vaccine jab in their upper arm.
This is where Muslims have an opportunity for Dhikr, The Remembrance of Allah SWT, inside a Masjid this Ramadan.
Make those minutes count !
Today the @ICCO_MAC with @regionofpeel welcomed several hundred 18+ residents of Peel and successfully provided them with vaccinations.
Thank you to all the volunteers! pic.twitter.com/wCjP4PP17F— Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) (@MACNational) April 30, 2021
The optional privacy accommodation for women was appreciated by many who chose to be vaccinated privately. pic.twitter.com/RSzZtaX1OK

Alhamdulelah today's launch for the MAC ICCO mobile vaccination clinic was a success. 100% of the planned vaccine doses were given today. Today was a soft opening for the clinic with reduced numbers and it worked smoothly. PPH staff, nurses & MAC volunteers did a great job. pic.twitter.com/NgGDCGDtkY

Thank you MPP @krasheedmpp & MPP @SherefSabawyPC for sharing this special moment with our community launching the MAC ICCO Mobile vaccination clinic. Unfortunately they didnt catch the registration window so they were not vaccinated today. However, they are keen on vaccination. pic.twitter.com/H5FlZ2M9GU

The mobile vaccination clinic is an excellent initiative to make vaccination accessible to more people. It also used a community partnership model that help educate and remove barriers against vaccination. Thank you @ONThealth @ROPpublichealth for this successful partnership.

Comments Off on Day 18 – JUMAH – Third Friday – Nationwide Khutbah Campaign — To Increase Vaccine Confidence — A unified Friday Sermon message in all masajid across Canada — CMCTF — Canadian Muslim COVID-19 Task Force — Friday April 30 2021
Nationwide Khutbah Campaign
To Increase Vaccine Confidence
A unified Friday Sermon message in all masajid across Canada
Friday April 30 2021
1. COVID-19 EFFECT ON MUSLIMS
Data from the U.K., South Africa, USA, and even Canada, shows that ethno-racialized communities, which include many Muslims, have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
2. VACCINE HESITANCY
Although vaccine rollouts have started, some Muslims are hesitant to take the vaccine due to misinformation or attention-grabbing headlines that have not allowed risks to be contextualized.
3. VACCINES ARE SAFE, EFFECTIVE & HALAL
Muslim healthcare professionals and Islamic scholars from North America and Europe have verified the ingredients and issued statements affirming their safety, effectiveness and permissibility.
4. MUSLIMS’ COLLECTIVE DUTY
We have a collective duty towards those who are vulnerable and to protect our community.
That’s the prophetic way.
5. LOCAL MUSLIM LEADERSHIP
There are many educational, advocacy, and social support services established by and for Canadian Muslims.
Please visit the CMCTF website for COVID-19 related resources and information.

He has some great advice for the community about getting vaccinated during the month of Ramadan.”
Wondering if getting vaccinated during Ramadan breaks your fast? In our chat with @ihslimi, he says it doesn’t. 💉⬇ pic.twitter.com/b5MxQM6Qv3
— Region of Peel (@regionofpeel) April 30, 2021
“Ramadan 1442 is going to be another different Ramadan but a positive one.
Many of our Muslim community members are asking if they can take the vaccination when fasting.
Yes,
you can.
It doesn’t feed you and it doesn’t quench your thirst.
If you feel dizzy,
which is rare,
and you cannot control your body,
then you are allowed to break your fast.
It is a priority so I would encourage you to take the vaccine.
We pray that you have a wonderful experience and that you keep the memories of this Ramadan for many years to come.
Enjoy it and make the best of it.”
Thank you @regionofpeel @BonnieCrombie @patrickbrownont @Caledon_Mayor @JohnTory @fordnation & @JustinTrudeau for doing your best to keep us all safe! This is unprecedented & we know how difficult are your tasks. We appreciate your leadership and your resilience! We keep praying. https://t.co/IDPMIcDDmL
