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:
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.
**(NEW ADDITION) ISK is pleased to announce that in addition to the other four locations, where currently Juma is offered, we have made arrangement additional location for Juma salat.
Details:
Location: Crossroads United Church (community hall)
690 Sir John A. Macdonald
Time: 1:00pm
Khateeb: Sh. Fadi
Parking: At the back. (Please park responsibly)
Entrance: North side of the building

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.
Please contact Br. Imran at (647) 509-7923 or email him ([email protected]) to place an order and e-transfer your payments as well to proceed further, InshaAllah.
We have arranged 3 beef and 20 lambs. Our budget prices for this year are: $550 for a lamb and $475 per share of beef.
JAK for your patience,

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).
Registration is still open for the 2024/2025 school year at the Crescent Academy of Canada, the private Islamic school of Kingston. Deadline is approaching soon and seats are limited.
