The Islamic Society of BC “dba Alhidayah Mosque” sincerely apologize for the disturbance and noises caused by our food bank crowd on Friday May 22, 2020 between 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Such nuisances and harm to our respectful neighbors are not acceptable by us at all and as per our Islamic teachings.
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. The Islamic Society of British Columbia wishes to congratulate all Muslims with the happy occasion of 'Eid al-Fitr, and we announce as follows:
Assalam Alykum wrtb Dear Brothers and Sisters:
The ISBC has received queries about the Islamic Shariah guidance that supports its decision to disallow the attendance of Masjid Alhidayah by Dr. Saadeldin Bahr. For the enlightenment of everyone, the administration wants to share with you the basis of this decision to clear any doubts or false claims.
All praise be to Allah that He helped us to rollout the first run of AFB successfully on May 10th, 2020 (Ramadan 17, 1441) then all sincere thanks to our community members who helped and supported this program through their generous donations and volunteering.
To help you imagine the great goodness you helped us to achieve:
Assalam Alykum wrtb Dear Brothers and Sisters:
All praise to Allah (swt) that He showed us an early sign of the resolution of COVID-19 pandemic and our staying-home sacrifice has begun to pay off. As you may all know BC government announced its plan for easing COVID-19 restrictions! As such the Islamic Society of BC (ISBC) approached the City of Port Coquitlam to allow us to reopen the Masjid for prayers and alhamdulellah, we have received the City approval for this.
The Islamic Society of BC (ISBC) is pleased to announce that the first Day of the blessed month of Ramadan 1441 is:
إِنَّمَا یَخۡشَى ٱللَّهَ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِ ٱلۡعُلَمَـٰۤؤُا۟ۗ
"Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who have knowledge"
We all go through trials and tribulations and no doubt, the crisis of COVID-19 is very difficult time for all of us. What the Muslim believer should realize in such extreme hardship times, that these hardships or severe difficulties are created by Allah Almighty for His servants to show them their limited ability, weakness and powerlessness while Allah (swt) has the full control and power over them.
Kindly be advised that all congregational prayers including Jumma (Friday Prayers) are suspended at Masjid Al-Hidaya until further notice following the orders of the City of Port Coquitlam.
Always remember that Allah is in control of every situation. Make Istighfaar and Dua that Allah eases this situation.
May Allah protect us all and grant us the best of this world and the next.
