#2. Help Us Keep our Masjid Safe for Everyone

With the horrific events that have claimed Muslim lives in Christchurch (New Zealand), Quebec City, Toronto, and London (Canada), Muslims around the world fear for their safety when they come to the masjid.

That’s why one of the greatest priorities for any masjid is safety and security.

Masjid ar-Rahmah (Mosque of Mercy) prides itself on providing a safe, welcoming environment for all people who enter through its doors.

Based on thorough security assessments and audits, we have highlighted enhancements for our security needs. The estimated costs for the upgrades are $200,000. So far we have raised $80,000 (40% of the target already). We need your help to raise the remainder.

Your donation will be used to make the masjid and our community safer.

We want to keep our community safe. We need your help to donate and support our campaign.

We are partnering with Islamic Relief Canada for this special Dhul Hijjah campaign.

They will be matching any funds that are raised for our LaunchGood campaign. For every $2 that is raised, Islamic Relief will add $1.

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said that Allah (SWT) says in a hadith qudsi: ‘Spend (on charity), O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you.’ [Saheeh Bukhari]

#3. Reminder to Fast on Arafah Tomorrow

We also would like to encourage the community to observe fasting on the Day of Arafah, which will be on Monday, July 19 insha Allah.

Why should you be fasting on Monday?

The reward for fasting on Arafah is forgiveness for the previous year AND the coming year. You won't want to miss out on this incredible reward. 

Make lots of du‘ā because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The best of du‘ā is the du‘ā on the Day of ‘Arafah”. 

Our Prophet (peace be upon him) also said: “Fasting the day of ‘Arafah I hope Allah will expiate thereby for the year before it and the year after it, and fasting the day of ‘Ashoora’ I hope Allah will expiate thereby for the year that came before it.” (Saheeh Muslim).

Fasting on the day of Arafah will expiate your sins for the previous year and the coming year, and it is an incredible time to make dua to Allah.

Take advantage of fasting on Monday!

#4. Special Lecture Tomorrow on Monday

AMA is proud to present “Greatest Days of the Year.” It will be a live program taking place on the day of Arafah (9th Day of Dhul Hijjah).
