Abu Ubaydah Islamic Center

THE PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM) SAID, “THE MOST BELOVED OF PLACES TO ALLAH IS THE MOSQUE, AND THE MOST DETESTED OF PLACES TO ALLAH IS THE MARKETPLACE.”

– [SAHIH MUSLIM]

Our Mission

To enhance and improve the respect and cultivate our Islamic identity in the GTA community with special consideration for the cultural diversity in Canada, as well as to improve and develop the skills and the well-being of our members, our programs, and our culture to benefit the wider community.

Our History

Establishment of Abu Ubaydah Center started since 2002 when a group of few people decided to organize and commenced a Madrasa that taught children Islamic studies and helped them to do their schoolwork and other social studies The center started as a small warehouse. We were fortunate enough to raise $50,000 through a Zancana Community Center and online donations from various members. This money was used to renovate the space and turned into a masjid. We built a new washroom, wudhu space, and a spacious prayer space. We are grateful for all the support we received over the years to help maintain the space we have acquired. It continues to grow and raise money to keep the space running.

Our Task

To establish congregational prayers and carry out other religious activities that are open fully to men, women, and children.

To practice Islamic principles of moderation, tolerance, inclusiveness, and conflict avoidance within the structural limits of the Quran and Sunnah in order to create unity among Muslims and Non- Muslim.

To arrange educational programs for all members of the family especially the youth.

To promote joint action among Muslim organizations of the Greater Toronto Area.

To support the members of the community in learning and coping with everyday challenges through monthly programs and counselling sessions.

However, the space is so small especial during jumaa prayer, Eid, or any social gathering.

Our Goal

Abu Ubaydah is officially registered under Zancana community center on DEC 6TH 2018.

The registration number is 2812666925.

This is a rented place and due to those reasons above Zancana has a project to establish our own center.

To have that center that will include all of the services that we need to have, bought a place, and modify it based on our needs. In reaching that goal Abu Ubaydah is actively looking for donors to fund that project, and we have established a monthly fundraising event that will help us to raise some funds. We encourage those who are attending our fundraising to continue doing so and pledge some cash, in return we will issue a receipt where you can claim on your tax return to get relief on taxes.
