Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahee Wabarakatoohoo,
Welcome to the Islamic Centre of
Oshawa website. We make Dua that Allah (SWT) continue to
guide you and your families and shower you with His choicest
blessings and favours.
The Islamic Centre of Oshawa is
a registered charity (BN# 888930641 RR0001) in good standing as
legislated under the Canadian Income Tax Act.
Charity information returns have been filed on a yearly basis
and are available for public viewing on the Canada Revenue
Agency website (www.cra.gc.ca).
As many of you may be aware, the
Islamic Centre of Oshawa is planning on undertaking a NEW MASJID
PROJECT. Islam is a beautiful religion. Everything
about Islam is beautiful. A masjid is a sign of Islam.
How then, can we sit idle while the House of Allah falls apart?
Alhamdulillah, after consulting
with the Muslim community in Oshawa and surrounding areas, we
have decided to dedicate all our efforts into establishing a new
Islamic Centre of Oshawa. We ask all brothers and sisters
to remember this project in their prayers.
The following are reasons why establishing a new Islamic
Centre of Oshawa is an absolute necessity:
- The current masjid is in an
extremely dire condition. The structure is
deteriorating by the day and is beginning to fall apart both
inside and out.
- The current masjid has been
officially categorized as a "Heritage B" property by the
City of Oshawa. This means that it is on the City's
list of properties which could potentially be designated a
full-fledged HISTORICAL SITE. If declared a HISTORICAL
SITE, we would be prohibited from undertaking any new masjid
projects.
- The current facility is not
adequate enough to meet the needs of the masjid attendees.
With limitations in both space and layout, the current
masjid has no accommodations for sisters. Furthermore,
many brothers are forced to offer their Jumma and Eidain
prayers in the basement as space in the main prayer hall is
limited. Finally, there are no dedicated classrooms
for children's evening Qur'an and Fiqh classes.
- Their are no accommodations
for persons with physical disabilities and impairments.
- A new, beautiful masjid is
needed to reflect our beautiful Deen of Islam.
We rely on your financial support to
successfully complete this project and requesting you to donate
generously toward this worthy cause. We are greatly thankful to
you for your generous donation and continued support.
