Minaret Less Mosques – Ban OR the Beginning of a Renaissance

Al Madinah Calgary Islamic Centre was established in 2005. It is located in a shopping mall. We purchased two shops and converted them into a mosque. If the sign outside the mosque is removed, no one would even know that this is a place of worship for Muslims. In less than five years our congregation grew from 27 people to almost 2000 people. We have more than 200 girls and boys learning Qur’an and Islamic teachings. In less than five years 23 non-Muslim Calgarians embraced Islam at the Al Madinah Islamic Centre. Every year hundreds of Calgarians; Christians, Jews, Atheists, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist and others visit the Al Madinah Centre and take part in the Interfaith Dialogues. 99% of those who attend the interfaith activities at the Al Madinah Centre change their attitude about Islam and Muslims. Their misconceptions and misunderstandings about Islam are removed. They appreciate that someone has helped them in removing those fears and distrust of Muslims that the media tries to build every day. In Ramadan, every year for one month, more than 200 Muslims and non-Muslims eat together at the sunset time at the Al Madinah Mosque.

Are JEWS an accursed or a blessed community?

Jews are an accursed community and Muslims have to fight them till the end

An essay by A’bdullah U’smani

The Holy Qur’an-e-Kareem has presented a vivid picture of the divine sin and worldly faults as well as the deviation from the reality by this community. The believers of Islam have been made aware that this community had refused the Deen-e-Islam of their Prophets, inflicted great humiliation and atrocities upon them and even killed the Holy Prophets as a punishment for spreading Islam. The brutal killings and the shedding of the Holy blood inside the precinct of the Holy Mosque Aqsa is unparallel in the history of mankind.

The Holy Qur’an-e-Kareem says, “Bani Israel had denounced a large number of prophets and halted the spreading of Islam by putting all sort of barriers in their way”. Through the verses of Qur’an, we come to know the community of Bani Israel was superior to their contemporaries in all respect. The Almighty Allah-e-Kareem had nourished this community with great love and affection, bestowed upon them many rewards and blessings, provisions without measure for their comfort, even fulfilling their undue demands. In this regard, the predictions of the Holy Qur’an-e-Kareem disclose the very ugly nature and the character of this community. This not only establishes the honesty and exactness of the Holy Qur’an-e-Kareem, but also exposes the meanness, vulgarity, senselessness and the conspiracy of the Jews.
