Only in Majd...

Amatullah · 01-03-2009, 10:48 AM

Bismillah

We were driving down Highway 401 West last night, and I told bintamina and Hala that I HAD to make a thread about what I've seen here in Toronto (well, technically Mississauga).

1- While I was in the grocery store, I see from a distance a huge green and white HALAL sign in the frozen food aisle. Wow. I wish I took a picture.

2- In Majd will you see masajid from the highways. (I saw ISNA and I think Taariq, beautiful buildings mashaAllah)

3- Abu Huraira. Nuff said.
Ameerah Majd invited me to Abu Huraira last night and mashaAllah...I've never seen anything like it, especially with all the youth there in masjid--cleaning, listening to the lecture, greeting the visitors. May Allah azza wa jal increase them, Ameen. And on top of all of this, I was gifted with the Journey of Faith Conference DVD set! Jazaakum Allahu khayran
: D

4- Al Huda Institute is by far the cleanest and most well maintained masjid and school I've ever seen in my life, mashaAllah.

5- Cherry Blasters, Fuzzy Peaches, Smarties, Oh Henry!, Coffee Crisp, Caramel, Mars, Aero.....We're so deprived in the US.

6- Niqaabis. Everywhere.

7- Non Somalis talking about how much they love Somali food. lol this just made me laugh. Desi aunties telling me about the suqaar at Hamdis...

I'm having a great time here in Majd. InshaAllah we'll be checkin out Ta'leemul Islaam soon, can't wait for that!

Asalaam alaykum waramatuallah

Majd is insha’allah under the guidance and protection of Allah azwajaal.

I’ve only visited Al-Huda once for lecture then later one a wedding. That place rocks, masha’allah. London UK has many things similar (many mosques, many muslims)

For the brothers that attend Abu Huraira Masjid you ‘are so lucky. Make shukr to Allah azwajaal that he blessed you with courageous, full of eman young brothers. I try to go there every time I go to Toronto for a visit it’s a nice spot.

Whenever we go to Majd we have to ‘check-out’ Hamdi’s. Subhanallah I remember last year when Sh. Waleed was here as he finished the class a few brothers went with him to guess where ‘Hamdi’s’. Personally it almost seems like my trip wasn’t complete if I didn’t go to Hamdi’s and habib’s book store.

For the brothers that go to Khalid bin Waleed masjid you guys are amazing! That place keeps you occupied like there’s no tomorrow masha’allah. Me being Somali and where I’m at there’s only limited somali’s that I know, but when you go to places like Toronto, UK, MIN it’s seems like mini-somali county…lol

Hala · 01-03-2009, 02:41 PM

The solution is very clear Yusra, move to Toronto.

Okay, well at least come back to visit occasionally.

I loved exploring Toronto (mostly Mississauga) with you alhamdulilah. Tuesdays' events didn't make it on your list though... : )

lol. You're so right. (It's not my fault she's staying in sauga!)

InshaAllah we'll be in Etobicoke on Monday. Email me : )

Amatullah · 01-03-2009, 05:18 PM

Sistamatic, I had such an awesome time at Abu Huraira. I've been telling everyone about it! Jazaakum Allahu khayran for hosting us ukhti.

Halle Ma: InshaAllah i'll be here until Tuesday. : ) I'd love to meet you as well ukhti.

Hala: lol, don't remind me about Tuesday!

Sr. Hala, if it wasn't for the hadith about loving for your brother/sister what you love for yourself, I might have to challenge you to a duel for Yusra

I wish I could see him again. I remember him back in MD. when he was Imam of Ayah masjid. He was an awesome Imam, was so humble mA, and used to be so nice with the kids (He made me enjoy going to the Masjid!)

I guess it depends on what your location is, from where I live, the beginning of Mississauga is about half an hour away...most people just consider it part of Toronto

And Yes Sh. Said is the Imam of Abu Hurairah

WOW!! how Tragic

... oh and you forgot Tim Hortons

or do you guys have that?

Amatullah · 01-03-2009, 07:25 PM

Br Shaami, yes he's the Imaam there. MashaAllah he gave a really awesome lecture when I was there last night. After him was another awesome shaykh, AbdulGhaniyy Basheer, who gave the best talk on mothers (he titled it: ummi) I've ever heard mashaAllah. I hope they put it online soon inshaAllah.

Halle Ma: Nope, no Timmies here. I'm not a fan of coffee/hot drinks and desserts, so I didn't mention it lol. But yea, we don't have that or Second Cup.

ya ukhti Mariam...I ask Al Wadood to make you among those whom He loves. Ameen.

SubhanAllah, I was telling Hala just an hour or two ago that we underestimate the power of righteous companions. Shaykh Sa'eed even mentioned last night the famous statement of Umar radi Allahu anhu: if you find yourself a righteous friend, then hold on to him tightly.
Indeed Allah ta'ala has blessed me with righteous sisters around me, and I ask Him Al Kareem to increase all of you in goodness. Ameen.

**end sappiness**
