We have not had a single masjid large enough to accommodate all our Muslim brothers and sisters.
We have thousands of community members, and not have a place to serve them all.
In 2017, we started a small Masjid -it accommodated very little of the thousands of community members.
This proved to be not enough. We chose to aim for a bigger space.
Then, realizing the growing need, we started looking for bigger spaces.
We acquired three units at 9100 Jane Street in Vaughan. The place has room for about 300 people.
Even then, it was far from accommodating the thousands.
It is heartbreaking to see some of them turn away and do not come back because they assume they will not find space…
It is troubling to think about the impact it will have on the kids and their future.
