“What is with you passes away and what is with Allah is enduring; and We will most certainly give to those who are patient their reward for the best of what they did.”
[16:96]

مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا مُعَاهَدًا لَمْ يَرَحْ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا يُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا
Whoever kills a person protected by a treaty will never smell the fragrance of Paradise, and indeed its fragrance can be found a distance of forty years of travel. [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 83, Number 49]

As-salamoalaikum Wa’Rehmatullahi Wa’Barakatuhu

Muslim Association of Milton (MAM) has been serving the Muslim community in Milton over the past 6 years. We have been striving to build a Masjid for this community since Day 1 and have had to go through many hurdles and obstacles to reach our goal.
Alhumdulilah, with the grace and blessings of Allah (SWT), we have finally succeeded in placing an offer on a property that will serve the Milton and surrounding communities in Halton for many years to come, Insha’Allah. The property is located at 4269 Regional Road 25, in Oakville, Ontario. It is a 12.6 acre land, with a single story home with a finished basement that adds up to 4200 square feet of usable space, along with a 1500 square foot workshop. In total, there is over 6000 sq. feet of space that can be utilized right away for 5 daily prayers, Jum’aa prayers, Eid Prayers, and various other activities and programs, Insha’Allah. The cost of this property is $1.42 million dollars and the closing date for this property is in less than 6 months on February 17th, 2012, Insha’Allah.

To date we have raised $800k Alhamdulillah, and inshaAllah with the Grace of Allah (SWT) and your Help, we can achieve our goal.
We are a Registered Charity, and a tax receipt will be provided for income tax purposes.

What comes to you of good is from Allah , but what comes to you of evil, [O man], is from yourself. And We have sent you, [O Muhammad], to the people as a messenger, and sufficient is Allah as Witness.
Surah An-Nisā’ (4:79)

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “When anyone of you stands for the prayers, Satan comes and puts him in doubts till he forgets how many Rakat he has prayed. So if this happens to anyone of you, he should perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting {Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 22, Number 324}

“We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, but for just ends. And the Hour is surely coming (when this will be manifest). So overlook (any human faults) with gracious forgiveness. For verily it is thy Lord who is the Master-Creator, knowing all things. And We have bestowed upon thee the Seven oft-repeated verses (Surah al-Fatiha) and the Grand Qur’an. Strain not thine eyes (wistfully) at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them, nor grieve over them: but lower thy wing (in gentleness) to the Believers.”- Al Hijr, 85-88

“Whoever relieves a believer from a difficulty in this world, Allah will relieve a difficulty from him on the Day of Judgement.” [Muslim]

Boston conducted its 32nd census of the city’s homeless population earlier this week. A report to the United Nations in 2005 stated there were an estimated 100 million homeless people in the world, and an additional 1.6 billion living without adequate housing. Here are some images of homelessness across the globe, collected from wire images this year. — Lloyd Young (31 photos total)

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.

http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/say-yes-to-the-mosque-on-16th-avenue-no-to-bigotry.html

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.

And your Lord says, “Call upon Me; I will respond to you.” Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.(40:60)
