The Day of Arafat – 9th Day of Dhul-Hijjah 1444 – Tuesday June 27 2023

Iftar – Breaking Fast with Majhūl Dates..!


 

Maghrib Sunset Time arrives in Toronto Metropolitan Area

On The Day of Arafah,

9th of Dhul Hijjah 1444,

And I can finally bite into my THIRD Majhūl Date of the day!

But I was Fasting,

So how can this be my “Third” Majhūl Date?

Because this morning before Fajr,

I already had not One,

but TWO Majhūl Dates

For Sahoor.

I intended on only having ONE,

But these are more addictive than potato chips,

And I had to have TWO,

I could not stop at One.

And then…

Just like that it was Fajr time,

and I couldn’t have Three Majhūl Dates for Sahoor even if I wanted to,

And I wanted to,

I simply had to wait for Sunset to arrive on one of the longest days of the year in the northern hemisphere at this latitude.

So,

The entire Day of Arafah,

I kept looking forward to breaking my Fast with another Majhūl Date.

As ~9:05 p.m. EDT approached,

I dialled up MeemTV’s IPTV channel as they usually livestream Adhan Al Maghrib according to Toronto Local Time,

Theirs is the Adhan you hear in the background of this video.

Alhumdulillah,

Majhūl Date with coconut shavings and tasty filling with a glass of Rooh Afzah made with milk was my Iftar for and on this Day of Arafah 1444 Fast.

Majhūl Dates:

“Love at First Bite,”

No kidding,

Alhumdulillah.

CONDOLENCES

Who, when calamity strikes them, say:

“Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return”

Our Condolences to the Family of Brothers Shahzada and Suleman Dawood

Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

It is with deep sadness that we announce the deaths of Brother Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood in the recent Titan submersible tragedy.

Please join us for the funeral Prayer TOMORROW,

Sunday June 25, 2023,

after Zuhr prayer at 1:15 p.m. at the Masjid al-Noor at 430 Logy Bay Road, St. John’s,

Janaza in absentia.

On Behalf of the Community and the Muslim Association of Newfoundland and Labrador,

we ask Allah (SWT) to give patience to the family of the deceased.

We ask Allah (SWT) to forgive and to have mercy upon the deceased souls,

to make their reception honourable,

and to admit the deceased into His Jannah.

Ameen!

Brother Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood

The new moon was sighted . . .

Today, Monday June 19 2023 is the 1st of Dhul Hijjah 1444.

The Day of Arafah is Tuesday June 27 2023.

Eid Al-Adhā will be on Wednesday June 28 2023.

InshAllah,

Similar to my earlier listing of Eid Al Fitr Prayer Locations,

I’ll keep updating this page with larger Eid Prayer locations as I find them.

You can help by adding missing Eid Al-Adhā prayer location information as a comment to this post.

FINAL UPDATE on MONDAY JUNE 26 2023 at 7:42 p.m.:

I’ve been pulling together the Eid Al Adha Prayer Times & Locations for Canadian Cities that I can find,

And it’s been harder than before, perhaps ever, in trying to easily find all the details.

IF you have been trying to find YOUR eventual Eid Prayer Location, you may understand what I mean.

There are a few more locations I know of, but if I don’t stop adding new ones now, I might still be typing on Wednesday Morning (!).

So the following as it is is now my officially completed Eid Al Adha Prayer Times & Locations list.

InshAllah, for some of you out there who may end up praying Eid Al-Adha at a location you found below, please remember me, Brother HiMY, in your Duas on Yowm-Al-Arafah and on Eid Day.

Please share this URL and pass on this List’s Information with those who need it!

Ameen.

After praying Maghrib in Brampton, Ontario,

I went searching for the Crescent Moon of Dhul-Hijjah 1444.

Yesterday night, Sunday June 18 2023, The Hilal Council of Canada had [already] accepted a Positive Moonsighting Report from Texas.

Tonight, Monday June 19 2023, We had Hazy and Partly Cloudy sky above the Toronto Metropolitan Area.

I looked and searched through the haze for about ten minutes.

Alhumdulillah I finally saw the Crescent in-between the clouds.

This is the best photo from the ones I took this evening.

Thickness of the Crescent strongly suggests it is a one day old Crescent Moon.

 

This is a Positive Moonsighting Report from Brampton, Ontario, on Monday Evening, June 19 2023.

Eid Al-Adha Mubarak to all.

Salam,

HiMY SYeD

Shaykh Yahya Rhodus was today’s Guest Khateeb, Visiting Friday Sermon Lecturer, for the first Jumah Qhutbah at Sayeda Khadija Centre in Mississauga.

He helped us understand The Sunnah of Decision Making.

My brother Amir and I were in attendance and heard it in person.

It was such important information,

I wanted to watch and listen to it at least twice more,

so I’m embedding the video :

InshAllah, I resolve to add some notes summarizing The Sunnah of Decision Making to this blog post later…

“An energy filled Jane’s Walk with this group;

“And Brother HiMY sharing his deep insights about roots of Muslim community in the City of Toronto and the need to combat Islamophobia and other forms of racism got me through today’s moody weather.

“The white building behind us was the Dundas Street Masjid.”

Suhail Hashim

“Tarek Fatah has left a controversial and divisive legacy.

He was a polarizing personality in his life,

And now also in his death.

In this video,

We do a sample survey of Fatah’s stances on various issues that pertained to the Muslim community in Canada, India, and around the world.”

You say @9:25 Indian ‘Hindu’ side of Kashmir.

This is incorrect.

The Indian side of Kashmir has way more Muslims than Hindus…”

Kaustav

“Thanks Kaustav.

I see your point.

I perhaps could have said “majority Hindu” instead.”

Sadat, That Canadian Brother

I… I… Dear 30 Masjids Family, I’d like to think by now, that some of you who have been reading and following the 30 Masjids website with these blog posts of mine, might feel as yeah, we are somehow some kind of online Family.

So, Dear 30 Masjids Family,

I… I… don’t know how not to cry.

I can’t barely make it through the first few seconds of this video, ….

Racism.

Islamophobia.

Police.

Knee on neck, hunh?

Young children watching their Father, ON EID AL FITR DAY.

Sayeda Khadija Centre scheduled three Eid Salat this morning.

We attended the first one scheduled at 7:30 a.m.

This middle Eid Prayer, the second, would have Takbeerat beginning at 8:30 a.m. followed by Prayer at 9:00 a.m.

Before Takbeerat began for the second time this morning,

Mayor of Mississauga, Bonnie Crombie, addressed Sayeda Khadija Centre’s second Eid Al Fitr Prayer Congregation which you see near the very beginning of the Livestream.

Mayor Crombie was on a tour this morning of visiting and addressing Eid Al Fitr Prayer gatherings all around her hometown of Mississauga.

Moments after she had finished addressing the congregation, it just so happened that the hallway which The Mayor used to exit from the main Prayer Hall, was the same hallway in front of the classroom where we were still sitting in.

As we were still sitting near the doorway, I saw her rush by, en route to the next Eid prayer at another Mississauga Masjid.

By the time Takbeerat for the second Eid Prayer had started up, we were already in the outer hall, where a young brother named Kasim recognized me.

I still have to blog about the first Eid Salat of the day, which I attended, but for now, I am posting video of this one with Imam Dr. Hamid Slimi as Khateeb, which I did not attend in person.

Meet Brother Kasim !

As I was making my way through Sayeda Khadija Centre after praying the first of the three scheduled Eid Al Fitr Prayers,

Young Kasim recognized me from somewhere,

Kasim approached me and made an introduction.

I quickly snapped this double self portrait and said he’d see it on 30Masjids.ca.

Here it is Brother Kasim, your photograph with both of us wishing Everyone out there an Eid Al Fitr Mubarak!
