Comments Off on 30 MORE | Doors Open Toronto 2014 – Masjids, Islamic Centres, and a Djerga
In 2014, Doors Open Toronto (@Doors_OpenTO) falls on May 24 and May 25.
For one full weekend the wider community may visit and enjoy free tours, learn about the architecture, or simply scratch the itch of curiosity about buildings people have only seen from the outside.
It just so happens that ALL SIX ISLAMIC Buildings participating in Doors Open Toronto 2014 have been visited and blogged about by 30 Masjids at some point during the past three Ramadans!
Personally, I’m volunteering this year at two locations:
Would love to meet readers of this blog in person! Please ask if I’m around when you arrive.
Hopefully, some of you can make it out at the above times, InshAllah.
Following are complete Doors Open Details, Location, Timings, plus links to their corresponding 30Masjids blog stories:

Comments Off on 30 MORE | World Urban Forum, Muslim Prayer Space – 4th Floor, WUF7 Green Pavillion, Plaza Mayor – Medellín, Colombia
AsalamAlayKum from the World Urban Forum in Medellín, Colombia!
With 25,000+ people registered for this United Nations sponsored Biennial forum on Cities and Urbanism, there are bound to be many, many Muslims in attendance.
On the Morning of Saturday April 5, 2014, the First Official Day of WUF7, I asked where the “Multi-Faith Prayer or Meditation Room was?”
After a few moments at one of the numerous Information Kiosks, I was taken by one of the Volunteers to the 4th Floor of the Green (see what WUF7 Organizers did there!) Pavillion.
Pleasantly surprised to see that this wasn’t a Multi-Faith Prayer Space but a Dedicated Muslim Prayer Room, for both Males and Females!
The Qibla Direction was already posted. But no prayer times.
In 2010, I attended World Urban Forum 5 in Rio De Janeiro. The Prayer Space was Multi-Faith. Friday was the last day of the WUF5, like it is now.
Then, we didn’t perform Jumah there, instead because I knew where Rio’s ONLY Masjid was, me and group of African Muslims, hopped into Mini-Buses they had rented, and we headed out to make Jumah. Upon Arrival, we had just missed it. So we all prayed Dhuhr together.
I took it upon myself to schedule a Jumah here at WUF7, InshAllah…
WUF7 Jumah Qhutbah will be at 1 p.m. on Friday April 11 2014, on the 4th Floor of the Green Pavillion, in the Muslim Prayer Room.

Comments Off on 30 MORE | VIDEO: Meet Young Brother Abdullah, Medellín, Colombia
After Jumah Prayers in Medellín, Colombia I introduced myself to Young Brother Abdullah.
He is 18 years old, Colombian, and being from Medellín, makes him a real Paisa. Which is how local residents in this city self-identify.
Abdullah embraced Islam at the age of 13.
He learned of Islam from Sister Rania, a Muslim family friend.

Comments Off on 30 MORE | VIDEO: Jumah Qhutbah – Medellín, Colombia
This is Brother Ahmed, he normally delivers The Jumah Qhutbah, The Friday Sermon, in Medellín’s only Masjid.
He wasn’t here last week, yet Alhumdulillah, Praise be to God-Alone, I was able to somewhat follow along in his mixing of Arabic and Spanish to get a gist of what his message was for this week.
Perhaps you might feel the same watching and listening. InshAllah!
Here are some images from my Second Jumah here in Medellín, Colombia…

Mariana asking and learning about Muslim Community of Medellín, Colombia from Brother Abdul Haq after Salat al Jumah. She is writing her Senior Thesis about the Muslims here.
As first, I assumed this young woman in a headscarf was a Muslim Sister, perhaps a newer Muslim who had embraced Islam locally?
I would learn she is a Student researching Islam and Muslims for her Senior Thesis.
Mariana has been present in Medellín’s only Masjid each Friday for the past several weeks. Salat al Jumah is really the only time Muslim Sisters are ever at the masjid. Hence, her research is taking a bit longer than one may think.
We ended up interviewing each other. Me for her research paper, and her for this 30Masjids blog post.

AsalamAlayKum from Medellín, Colombia!
I came here ahead of the Seventh World Urban Forum happening April 5-11, 2014.
In 2010, I attended the Fifth World Urban Forum held in Rio De Janerio, Brazil.
Both of the Muslim Communities I found in Rio De Janeiro and Medellín share some similarities:
InshAllah, a much longer story will be posted about this fascinating city and its Muslim story to date, including an interview with the founder of the First Masjid in Medellín, Colombia, Brother Abdul Haq!

Comments Off on 30 MORE | Charlotte Douglas Airport Chapel
I am en route ultimately to Medellín, Colombia several weeks ahead of the Seventh World Urban Forum.
If I could have, I would have prayer in the Chapel at Pearson International Airport. However the plane left Toronto before Maghrib Sunset Time, and I decided to not pray while in flight.
Originally, I decided that once I arrive in Florida, that is where I could catch up my Sunset and Night Prayer as this connection in Charlotte, North Carolina was too short to risk taking a few minutes break to pray.
Upon arriving in Charlotte Douglass Airport, my connecting flight was delayed about 40 minutes. Alhumdullilah, I could pray and InshAllah arrive in Florida having completed even my Isha Prayers on time.
A quick look at the CLT airport map and the Chapel was easy enough to locate. It’s on the second floor in the middle of the Terminal connecting all the gates. To find it, immediately go up the stairs where it says USO. Walk left, and there on the first corner on your right, is the Multi-Faith Chapel.
