The Holy Month of Ramadan 2017 || Al-Rasoul Islamic Society

On Sunday June 25, 2017, the last day of the month of Ramadan, the communities of Bedford United Church and the Al-Rasoul Islamic Society hosted an interfaith service to manifest friendship, embrace Canada's diversity, and celebrate its 150th birthday.

To a packed house, dressed in red and white, Reverend David Hart and Imam Sayed Mohammed Baqer Al-Qazwini led a powerful worship service that underscored the similarities between Muslims and Christians, and concluding with the children from both faith communities creating a banner, and lighting a candle of peace.

Following the service, the congregation formed a procession along the Bedford Highway. After dedications from Councillor Tim Outhit, Kelly Regan, the Minister of Community Services, and Geoff Regan, Speaker of the House of Commons, and with gracious help from the Halifax Regional Police - the crowd took over the street, forming a human chain of over 450 people linking the church and the mosque.

Flags waved, ’Oh Canada’ was sung joyfully, and then the entire community proceeded to the Al Rasoul Mosque where they were hosted with delicious food and more celebration!

It was truly a universal celebration of faith & diversity, an example of what God intends for the whole world!

Happy Canada Day! ❤

Patiently and faithfully awaiting for the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (A.S.) is one of the most difficult tests in our time. Sayed Mohammed Baqer briefly reflects in this in his own words.

Sayed Ahmed Al-Qazwini shares a beautiful funny incident that happened to him during his last plane ride with a muslim brother who used procrastination as an escape route from a somewhat embarrassing situation.
