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.

Wassalam

And were it not for Allah’s grace upon you and His mercy in this world and the hereafter, a grievous chastisement would certainly have touched you on account of the discourse which you entered into.

Learn about the greatest act of worship that your limbs will perform in this life – ṣalāh. The most oft-performed act of worship, hence the most important fiqh course for every Muslim.

ENROLL NOW

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)

Indeed Allah’s mercy has been upon him, from whom the punishment has been averted on that Day; and this is the clear success.[6:16]

Then We brought forth for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you, and whereof you eat. [23:19]

Then do they not look at the camels – how they are created?(88:17)
And at the sky – how it is raised?(88:18)
And at the mountains – how they are erected?(88:19)
And at the earth – how it is spread out?(88:20)

And your garments purify! [Al-Muddathir 74:4]

And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah , and remember Allah often that you may succeed.(62:10)

And never let Satan avert you. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.[43:62]

Allāhu Lā ‘Ilāha ‘Illā Huwa Al-Ĥayyu Al-Qayyūmu, Lā Ta’khudhuhu Sinatun Wa Lā Nawmun, Lahu Mā Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Mā Fī Al-‘Arđi, Man Dhā Al-Ladhī Yashfa`u `Indahu ‘Illā Bi’idhnihi, Ya`lamu Mā Bayna ‘Aydīhim Wa Mā Khalfahum, Wa Lā Yuĥīţūna Bishay’in Min `Ilmihi ‘Illā Bimā Shā’a, Wasi`a Kursīyuhu As-Samāwāti Wa Al-‘Arđa, Wa Lā Ya’ūduhu Ĥifžuhumā, Wa Huwa Al-`Alīyu Al-`Ažīmu (002:255)

Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
