Dear SNMC Patrons,
Now we have the opportunity to donate for masjid maintenance. Please sign up for automated debit or credit card deductions for only $1 per day per family member.
Please donate online at www.SNMC.ca by PayPal, MC or visa $1,000, or $500 or $250 or $100. It is our masjid, our legacy. You can pay online, by credit card or by pledge form at www.snmc.ca
Let us remember charity does not decrease wealth. Also, Allah (swt) will return 10 times every dollar we donate in this life and many folds in the life hereafter. May Allah (swt) accept our effort, time, and money. We will be successful if Allah (swt) accepts our efforts.
Let us seek His forgiveness and pray for His acceptance of our efforts.
SNMC Vision: Helping Mainstream Canadian Causes
In addition to getting the donation for the masjid maintenance, SNMC also collects sadaqa and zakat to spend for needy and other important cases.
In 2016-2017, SNMC helped QC Hospital $29K, BC fire victims $29.5K, Fort McMurry Fire, over $20K, and Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh/Myanmar $75K, Children’s Hospital with help of other masjids $45K. We are also helping Ottawa Food Bank and Sadaqa Foodbanks with food and money.
Thanks to the SNMC Community Members for their endless support and dedication to the SNMC Centre. We could not have done this without you.

SNMC Heritage: Madhhab or Fiqh schools
prominent Islamic scholars around the world, recognized four Sunni schools (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, Hanbali), two Shia schools (Ja’fari, Zaidi)
- The Hanafi school was founded by Abu Hanifa an-Nu‘man, followed by Muslims in Syria, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Western Lower Egypt, Iraq, Turkey, the Balkans and by most of Russia’s Muslim community.
-
The Maliki school was founded by Malik ibn Anas, followed by Muslims in North Africa, West Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, in parts of Saudi Arabia and in Upper Egypt.
-
The Shafi’i school was founded by Muhammad ibn Idris ash-Shafi’i., followed by Muslims in Saudi Arabia, Eastern Lower Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia, Jordan, Palestine, the Philippines, Singapore, Somalia, Thailand, Yemen, Kurdistan, and the Mappilas of Kerala and Konkani Muslims of India. It is the official school followed by the governments of Brunei and Malaysia.
-
The Hanbali school was founded by Ahmad ibn Hanbal, followed by Muslims in Qatar, most of Saudi Arabia and minority communities in Syria and Iraq.
Friday Prayer (Jumah Salah) and Parking Issues
In highlighting the importance of Friday (Juma), Allah SWT revealed a surah in the Quran, al-Jumu’ah, the day of Gathering. He shortened 4 Rakah Zuhr salah to 2 Rakah on Friday.
Listening to Jumah Khutbah is part of the prayer. Also, when a person enters for Jumah salah, an angel puts his/her name in a registered book, but as soon as Khateeb starts khutbah, they close the book and start listening.
The City of Ottawa By-Law Officers visited SNMC to educate the congregation on how to park properly around the SNMC masjid on Friday last week. They also issued warning tickets during the last two Fridays. The officers will start issuing parking tickets for offenses violating parking bylaws starting Friday.
Please let us plan for Jumah early and do not get our good deeds reduced by parking improperly in front of neighbours’ homes or on roadsides blocking driveways. Let’s show members of our community that Muslims are polite and courteous.
| SNMC JUMA PRAYER February 23rd, 2018 (Two Khutbahs):
