In Solidarity with the Jewish community of Pittsburgh

En solidarité avec la communauté juive de Pittsburgh

Au nom du Centre Al-Madinah, de la mosquée As-Salam, de l’Association Salam (Paix) de Montréal, de la Fondation IQRA et de la communauté musulmane du centre-ville de Montréal, nous souhaitons exprimer notre profonde tristesse et notre regret pour l’acte barbare perpétré dans la synagogue de Pittsburgh, Samedi dernier. Nous croyons sincèrement qu’une telle haine n’aura plus sa place en Amérique du Nord au XXIe siècle.

Nous pensons que cet acte de haine ne vise pas seulement la communauté juive locale de Pittsburgh, mais constitue également une attaque terroriste contre toutes les confessions et les valeurs que nous défendons en tant que peuples de foi du monde entier.

Les musulmans de Montréal et du monde entier condamnent cet acte et tous les actes de haine contre des individus ou des groupes. Le discours de haine croissant est alarmant. Nous assistons à la montée des actions sectaires contre les groupes religieux et les autres minorités.

Nous voulons que chaque membre de la communauté juive sache que nous continuerons à être solidaires et que nous sommes disposés à aider si besoin est. Enfin, nous croyons qu’Allah teste l’humanité de nombreuses manières afin de la rapprocher de Lui. “Donne le bon ordre au patient, qui, quand un désastre frappe, dit:” En effet, nous appartenons à Dieu et, en effet, nous reviendrons à lui “».

Nous sommes ici pour vous soutenir et vous accompagner en ces temps difficiles. en tant qu’alliés, amis, voisins et petits-fils d’Abraham.

En paix, en toute sincérité et respect.

In Solidarity

On behalf of Al-Madinah Center, As-Salam Mosque, Association Salam (Peace) of Montreal, IQRA Foundation and the Muslim community of downtown Montréal, we would like to express our sincere sadness and sorry for this barbaric act in the Pittsburgh synagogue last Saturday.  We truly believe that such hatred shall have no place in North America in the twenty first century. We do believe that this act of hate is not only directed against the local Jewish community in Pittsburgh but it is a terrorism attack against all faiths and the values that we hold as peoples of faith all over the world.

Muslims in Montreal and all over the world condemn this act and all acts of hate against any individuals or groups. The growing hate speech is alarming. We are witnessing the rise of bigoted actions against faith groups and other minorities.

We want every member of the Jewish community to know that we will continue to stand in solidarity and are willing to help however needed. Finally, we believe that Allah tests humanity in many ways in order to bring them closer to Him. “Give good tiding to the patient, Who, when disaster strikes them, say, ‘Indeed we belong to God, and indeed to Him we will return’”. We are here to support you and stand with you during these difficult times; as allies, friends, neighbors and grand sons of Abraham.

In peace, with full sincerity and respect,

Oudhiya… Sunnah and Solidarity

Your Oudhiya is an authenticate sunnah but it will send a solidarity message to to poorer muslim communities around the world. We need to perform the oudhiya in this country to proclaim the sunnah. However, sharing it with poor muslims in other unfortunate areas will double the reward (Allah willing). Contact info@salam-mosque.org to inquire about sending your oudhiya to other countries.

The Ten of Thul-Hijjah and Arafah day (Oct. 14th, 2013)

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, “No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijjah).”

It is the day when pilgrims stand on the plain of ‘Arafah to pray. On this day, Muslims who do not witness the annual Hajj should spend the day in fasting.. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, “Fasting on the Day of ‘Arafah absolves the sins for two years: the previous year and the coming year.”

Ramadan Moubarak: Wednesday July 10th, 2013

Montreal’s Muslim Community is preparing for the month of Ramadan. “Ramadan is a spiritually uplifting and joyous occasion for all Muslims,” said Salam Elmenyawi, president of MCM. “It is a time for Muslims to look inward at their hearts, to see how we can better serve God and all of humanity. Restraining from food and drink during the fast helps to open one’s heart to those in need, to engender compassion and mercy towards others, as well as to increase gratitude and appreciation for all of one’s blessings.”

“Ramadan is also a good opportunity for Canadians to learn more about Islam and Muslims and to help build bridges of understanding and respect in the community.”

Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, with the other four being the declaration of faith, daily prayers, alms giving and the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Those fasting arise before dawn to partake in a pre-dawn meal called suhoor and the fast is broken at sunset with a meal called iftar. In addition to increased acts of worship and charity, Muslims also offer supererogatory evening prayers at the mosque, each night of the month.

The end of Ramadan is marked by the celebration of the Islamic holiday of Eid-al-Fitr. This is one of the two major celebrations of the Islamic year, the other being Eid-al-Adha, which commemorates the annual pilgrimage to Mecca.

A dream … A vision … A reality

A dream … A vision … A reality

Salam alaikum wa rahmatulahi wa barakato my dear brothers and sisters,

this may be the most important and ambitious project our Montreal Muslim community has ever experienced, AND YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO HELP.
We have to pay $200,000 by the end of April 2013. We count on Allah then on your help and contribution.
Although I sincerely urge you to read the entire email, just in case you’re in a hurry please click on the following link and DONATE GENEROUSLY (>>100$). May Allah reward you. A tax receipt would be issued to all donors.
If you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us: admin@salam-mosque.org or 514-545-5466 / 438-402-8339.

Alhamdulilah, by the Grace and Mercy of Allah, we have finally received the greatest opportunity our Montreal Muslim community has ever seen:

A HUGE COMMUNITY CENTER
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DOWNTOWN!

Best Approach

We can’t make this on our own, so the Muslim community has chosen YOU for some monumental tasks, that will ultimately affect the outcome of this intiative:
  1. First of all, go to your families (e.g. your parents, uncles, etc.) and politely convince them to donate 1000$. I’ve been active in the Muslim community for a while, and I can tell you we EASILY have 500 families that can donate 1000$ each. For most of them, 1000$ is nothing compared to what they actually have, and I’m not asking for their entire savings like what the sahaba (may Allah be pleased with them) used to give. Just 1000$ from each family. Of course, the more the merrier.
  2. Second of all, send this email out to all your friends and families, and encourage them to purify their wealth by donating 1000$ as well. Kindly ask them to spread the word and ask their own friends to do the same.
  3. Third of all, put your money where your mouth is, and donate yourself. InshAllah I believe, and expect, from every individual to be able to donate AT LEAST 100$.

It is extremely easy to give !

  • And what is 100$? I promise you, most of the people, if not EVERYONE have at least a 100$ to spare in their account.
  • SubhanAllah, 100$ is EASILY how much people spend in two weeks eating out in restaurants.
  • Can’t we all make the sincere intention, for the sake of Allah, to just eat in FOR TWO WEEKS just to afford OUR MUSLIM COMMUNITY a great place to worship Allah for YEARS TO COME?
  • Why has it become so difficult to just open our bank account and just donate; just spending from what we have for the sake of Allah?

Have our hearts become so attached to this dunya that all we think about is
how we can save money to sustain and enjoy ourselves?

Let me tell you something, and pay very close attention: RIZQ AND HAPPINESS IS FROM ALLAH ALONE. IF YOU WISH TO PROSPER, IF YOU WISH TO BE HAPPY, THEN REACH FOR ALLAH IN THE FORM OF CHARITY, AND ALLAH WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WISH FOR. I promise you, there’s a law in this world that you will NOT find in any economics book: spend in the path of Allah, and Allah will increase your wealth in this life AND the next.

So what are you waiting for?

Follow the link, click donate, and give what you can. You are donating to Allah, the Supreme, the Majestic, the Provider. You are donating for the community. And ultimately, you are donating for your heart.
O Allah, Changer of hearts, set our hearts upon Your Faith. Ameen.
