JUMMA SALAT
Assalamu Alaikum,
MashaAllah the attendance to Salat Ul Jumaa at the ICK has been amazing! Unfortunately, we continue to have difficulties with parking as we far exceed the designated parking spots on the property and this leads to a number of problems including potential safety concerns. We have made the following changes:
- ONCE THE PARKING IS FULL FOR 1st JUMAA, THE LOT WILL BE CLOSED!
- The second Jumaa at 2:30 pm will be in both Arabic and English to provide for accessibility.
- Here are the following main salawat locations in Kingston other than at the ICK that are available for everyone:
-
Jumaa (same timings as the ICK) - KCVI near Queen's University, 235 Frontenac St. (entrance on Earl St.); has bus accessibility. Parking is on the street. Bring a prayer mat.
-
Jumaa (1:30 pm) - Mercy Musalla at the Multifaith chapel near the Military Family Resource Centre. 33 Lundy's Lane, Kingston. Parking is available and there is a bus route through the area. Bring a prayer mat.

Assalomo Alaykum, pray and hope that all is well with everyone, InshaAllah
We have received many messages regarding ISK community Zabiha program for 2024.
Since, Ulfat recently had her full knee replacement surgery and going through a stress full and very painful recovery, so I have requested Br. Imran, our ISK centre coordinator to look after it. Br. Imran has agreed to take over our zabiha program.

Give 30 Program
- | | ISK Masjid, 1477 Sydenham Road
During these hard economic times we can all understand that money may not be able to be given. An alternative could be reaching into the cupboard and giving what we may already have.
In Hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, The best charity is that given in Ramadan. (Bukhari and Muslim).
In another Hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, Charity does not decrease wealth. (Bukhari). This hadith highlights the benefits of giving to others, even if it may seem difficult or sacrificial.
Our Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, "He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while his neighbour is hungry." (Bukhari).
We invite schools, community groups, businesses. and individuals to join the Give30 campaign this year. Be creative!
Lets all fight hunger together. Let us know your initiative at: http://tinyurl.com/Give30YGK
