Hope everyone is doing great by the grace of the Almighty allah.

As most of you may know, our community in Markham Ontario has acquired a land for the Masjid and we have gotten the approval by the city for the site plan. A group of residents from this neighborhood don’t like the idea of a Mosque and have started a campaign to reverse the decision of the city by citing traffic, parking, against cultural heritage etc. They have petitioned the Mayor and the councilors to reverse their decision and there is a serious threat that they may be able to derail the project or delay it.

There is a petition that has been started to show our support, please sign it and forward to all your friends and families, also post in any social media websites that you can.

The people opposing it have started a petition and have already gotten over 3500 signatures and are presenting this to the city every week. They are spending their time, money and effort to oppose this project, lets us at least show our support by signing the petition.

The masjid will be built with or without our support, it is up to us to be counted among those that have done all that it takes to support it. Please sign and forward this to others. I have about 50 people on this list, if you can each send it to 50 other people inshallah in a few days we will be able to exceed the opposing petition and present it to the city.

‘Abdullāh ibn Mas’ūd [رضي الله تعالى عنه] said:

“The Companions of Muhammad [صلى الله عليه وسلم] were the best of this Ummah, the most purest of heart, the least superficial and they had the deepest knowledge. Indeed, they were a people whom Allāh chose to establish His religion and accompany His Prophet. So recognize their virtues, follow in their footsteps and adhere as much as you can to their morals and religion, for they were following true guidance.”[عبد البر في الجامع]

O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remove from you your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light will proceed before them and on their right; they will say, “Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things competent.”(66:8)

And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze.(67:5)

Shaitaan sticks to the heart of the child of Adam. When he does Zikr of Allah, he (Shaitaan) runs away from him. And when the child of Adam becomes careless from the Zikr of Allah, the Shaitan begins to put was-wasah (evil suggestion​s) into his heart.” [Bukhari]
