Comments Off on Day 23 – Fundraising Lecture and Iftar – Masjid Al-Qalam – Al-Qalam Islamic Community Centre – North York
Masjid Al-Qalam is one of the loose ends I wanted to tie up this year.
We first visited Al-Qalam Islamic Centre on Day 4 of Ramadan 2012. Then like now they were engaged in a fundraising campaign to either purchasing the building they were renting, or better still if they could secure a larger property nearby.
Then like now, I would be updated on their efforts via a flyer I picked up inside Masjid Toronto, downtown.

Comments Off on Day 21 – Third Friday – VIDEO: Ziyaad Mia, Founder of Give 30 – Bosnian Islamic Centre, Etobicoke
We first met Ziyaad Mia, Founder and Project Co-ordinator of the Give 30 Project (@Give_30), last year on the last day of Ramadan 2013.
30 Masjids reached out to Brother Ziyaad for an update and he readily agreed.
We caught up with him after Jumah Prayers on this Third Friday of Ramadan 2014 at the Bosnian Islamic Centre in South Etobicoke. Meeting in BIC also fulfilled my requisite annual Ramadan visit to this Masjid from my childhood.

Comments Off on Day 17 – Isha – Taraweeh – Gateway Public School, Flemingdon Park, North York
Tonight was a TOTAL Surprise!
My brother Amir and I were on the Bus heading downtown to an as-yet-to-be-decided Isha and Taraweeh location. Looking out the bus window, we suddenly spot a young Topi-Clad brother in the posture of calling the Adhan through a Gymnasium window in the Public School we were passing.
Having suddenly discovered a new Isha and Taraweeh prayer space, Amir immediately encouraged me to hop off the bus with the intent to experience it and write it up for 30Masjids with a single word, “Go!”.
So I did.

I’ve been editing and re-editing this blog post, but it just ain’t coming together the way it deserves and needs to be. So for the moment, until I can sit down properly somewhere to go at it again, InshAllah, and re-do this entry, this temporary placeholder paragraph is it. Gathered are tweets and photos and a couple of videos plus audio of the Jumah Qhutbah. The one thing I want to at least mention right now, is that 30Masjids visited Khalid Mosque during Ramadan 2012. Back then, I wrote about their Janaza/Funeral facilities for Muslims in this part of the city and how vital that was. I could not have imagined two Ramadans later, I would be attending a Janaza here on this day, and struggling to write about Abshir Hassan, a school teacher who was gunned down.
