As-Salam 3alaykoum Wa Rahmatou Allah,
In Sha2 Allah, we would be distributing the roses and some fliers this Friday (Oct. 9th, 2012) at 5.00 pm in downtown (close to Masjid As-Salam, Concordia and maybe McGill). For those who do not know about the campaign, the roses campaign is part of our daawa activity for the year to talk to our Canadian neighbours about Islam and the great beloved Prophet Mouhammad (Peace be upon him).
We have put an order for 1000 roses (~$1,500). We might distribute another batch next week if there is a need and within the Daawa budget limitations.We need volunteers at 3.00 pm at the Masjid to clean the roses and prepare them.
We need volunteers at 5.00 – 6.00 pm to distribute the roses and speak to people also. There will be some fliers and books for those who are interested to know more. Please share and help us make this a success.

In the light of the recent movie that was spread, insulting the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Islam, and after some Muslims added to the insult and proved their opponents’ accusations, I tend to ask myself a simple yet fundamental question:
-
What would he have done in a similar situation?
-
Did he face a similar situation, to begin with?
What we really need is to identify, assess, and control our emotions individually and in groups in order to harness this energy, even the anger, and manage it to achieve the intended goals.
We will distribute 5000 pocket guide about our beloved prophet (Peace be upon him).
Support our Prophet Daawa campaign please: Volunteer or Donate
Yes we are angry. Who is not? However, the response should be well planned and proactive.
-
Let us go out of this vicious reactive circle.
-
Let us stop blaming this ignorant movie maker and talk to our intelligent neighbours and friends.
-
Let us go out and tell our Canadian fellows about our prophet. Give the real image.
how can we help?
-
Raise Awareness
-
Talk to neighbours, friends, colleagues …
-
Support Daawa activities
-
Collaborate with fellow muslims
-
Share the beauty of our Islam

Would you like to support Masjid As-Salam campaign to distribute 2000 packages about the prophet (Peace be upon him)? We are raising $5,000 to acquire and distribute books around Montreal.

A man who lost his parents but refused to be called an orphan. Man enough to love a strong woman years older than him, worked for her and made her stronger, opened his heart to her, shared his fears to no one but her, cleaned after himself and sewed his clothes, and was faithful to her till her last breath.
He was good looking, courageous and fearless. He never judged anyone on their pasts or looks, and was moderate, open minded and tolerant.
His neighbor was Jewish and his cousin-in-law was a Christian priest. Was beaten and exiled when he was helpless. Was merciful when he became stronger.
Intelligent, wise and a hard worker, built a long lasting nation out of nothing in the last 20 years of his life.
He had no parents, but loved his daughters and grandchildren. His last will was “Be good to women”. This man is a dreamer, this man is my Prophet Mohammed, a man worth looking up to – peace be upon him.
If you truly love the Prophet (PBUH), tell others about the life and his teachings.
