BC Muslim Association

Kelowna Masjid Expansion

The Kelowna branch of the BCMA is an active organization for the service of the Muslim community, providing a prayer space, social programs, Daawah, and education to the benefit of children, youth and families. Today, we are embarking on a new project of the expansion of Kelowna Masjid, a place that has accommodated Kelowna’s Muslims since its founding and must now follow the demographic changing of the community.

Kelowna Ramadan 2015

--8 July 2015--

Last 10 Days!

Dear Visitor:

May Allah SWT accept your fasting, praying, and all your deeds during Ramadan.

We are now down to the last 10 days of this blessed month.

Please do not let this opportunity pass by without consideration

Who is he that will lend to Allâh a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times? And it is Allâh that decreases or increases (your provisions), and unto Him you shall return. {Quran - 2:245}

Please consider making a donation to Kelowna Masjid. May Allah SWT multiply your reward.

The prophet Muhammad - peace be upon him - swore that "Giving Sadaqah does NOT decrease wealth"

In fact he rephrased that three times to emphasize this point.

Thank you for your support in completing the Kelowna Masjid project.

First Milestone!

$12,500 by this Sunday...

Is it possible? Nothing is beyond Allah SWT. Yes we can reach this milestone by Sunday, insha'a Allah!

Ramadan is a blessed month ... the month of multiplied reward ... the month of giving

Please remember that:

"The Prophet was the most generous of all people, and he used to become more generous in Ramadan ..."

"... Allah's Messenger then used to be more generous than the fast wind."

 

Maybe it's you whom Allah SWT has chosen to help establish a prayer spot in Kelowna off Highway 33, in British Columbia, Canada. And what an honour that would be.

Jazakum Allah Khier

--29 June 2015--

One of the First!

Alhamdulillah, since the beginning of Ramadan, we collected over $10,000 through Jumah and Taraweeh collections. And we're extending our fundraising activities online, in hope to be able to reach our Ramadan target, insha'a Allah.

Here's your chance of being one of the first to donate online to Kelowna Masjid, thereby encouraging others to donate, and therefore reaping the reward of all who follow.

Indeed Jarîr relates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever initiates a good practice (sunnah hasanah) in Islam and is emulated by others in doing so will get the reward of it and the reward of all those who act upon it without their rewards being diminished in any respect...  ” [Sahîh Muslim: (1017)]

Please donate generously.

Kelowna Muslim Congregation

The Muslim community has been established in Kelowna for the past 40 years. It is still a small but a growing community, approximately 150 Muslim families and similar number of international students. In 2001 we purchased an old single story church with the capacity of accommodating approximately 100-110 people. For many years we have not been able to accommodate everyone on Fridays, neither can we hold any community gathering at the Masjid. We just hold regular daily prayers and weekend Islamic School.

Current Masjid

People are praying Jummah outside as the Masjid is full!
