SNMC thanks MP Chandra Arya, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussain as well as Canadian Federal Government for working for better Ottawa and better Canada.
Dear Community Members,
It has been brought to the SNMC Management’s attention that the increasing number of people park their cars along Woodroffe especially on Fridays. Moreover, these people try to cross a four-lane road in an unsafe way. SNMC encourages the members of the congregation to do carpooling or to find a proper parking spot within the neighborhood.
Also, SNMC management discourages making U-turns on Woodroffe especially when the traffic is flowing in the opposite direction. Alternatively, anyone can make a left turn onto Longfields and use the gate on Spring Beauty to enter the Masjid.
Thanks so much for your cooperation!
SNMC Management

| The Best Believer: The Best to One’s Family
Reporter by Abdullah ibn Amr (r) that Muhammad (S) said: “The most perfect of believers is the best of you in character; and the best among those with best character are the ones who are the best towards their wife (family).” Source: Tirmithi Transliteration: “Akmalul Mu’minina Imanan Ahsanuhum Khuluqa; wa Khiyarukum Khiyarukum li nisaihim.” Note: On the journey toward the eternal life hereafter, the institution of marriage plays a pivotal role. This is a relationship of two co-equal partners as exemplified in the Qur’an (al-Ahzab: 35; at-Tauba: 71). Spouses exert influence upon each other for a period longer than any other relationship. That is why a righteous spouse is the best resource a person can have in this world. Having a righteous spouse makes the journey that much easier and enjoyable through mutual understanding, encouragement, and cooperation. Several aspects deserve special attention: (1) The emphasis of the hadith is equally applicable to husband being righteous, i.e., from the vantage of a wife. (2) Muslims should be extra judicious in selecting their life partners from the Islamic viewpoint; (3) Muslims should recognize the reciprocal duties and rights of their respective spouses. In respect to their educational and all other rights in our contemporary male-dominated Muslim society/community, husbands have to be facilitators and defenders. And (4) Muslim women should know and understand their Islamic rights and strive to secure these rights. Securing rights is a social duty and, spouses as partners must work together toward the same end. |
Who loves to eat the flesh of a dead brother, everyone hates it, but some of us by backbiting one another, actually does it, let us seek forgiveness and stop it!
