Misbah U.

An-Nisa' 4:125-125

(125) And who is better in religion than one who submits himself to Allāh while being a doer of good and follows the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth? And Allāh took Abraham as an intimate friend.

Get Quran AppAl-Waqi'ah 56:1-96

(1) When the Occurrence occurs,
(2) There is, at its occurrence, no denial.
(3) It will bring down [some] and raise up [others].[1]
(4) When the earth is shaken with convulsion
(5) And the mountains are broken down, crumbling
(6) And become dust dispersing,
(7) And you become [of] three kinds:
(8) Then the companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?[1]
(9) And the companions of the left - what are companions of the left?[1]
(10) And the forerunners, the forerunners[1] -
(11) Those are the ones brought near [to Allāh]
(12) In the Gardens of Pleasure,
(13) A [large] company of the former peoples
(14) And a few of the later peoples,
(15) On thrones woven [with ornament],
(16) Reclining on them, facing each other.
(17) There will circulate among them young boys made eternal
(18) With vessels, pitchers and a cup [of wine] from a flowing spring -
(19) No headache will they have therefrom, nor will they be intoxicated -
(20) And fruit of what they select
(21) And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.
(22) And [for them are] fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes,
(23) The likenesses of pearls well-protected,
(24) As reward for what they used to do.
(25) They will not hear therein ill speech or commission of sin -
(26) Only a saying [of] peace, peace.
(27) The companions of the right - what are the companions of the right?
(28) [They will be] among lote trees with thorns removed
(29) And [banana] trees layered [with fruit]
(30) And shade extended
(31) And water poured out
(32) And fruit, abundant [and varied],
(33) Neither limited [to season] nor forbidden,
(34) And [upon] beds raised high.
(35) Indeed, We have produced them [i.e., the women of Paradise] in a [new] creation
(36) And made them virgins,
(37) Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age,
(38) For the companions of the right [who are]
(39) A company of the former peoples
(40) And a company of the later peoples.
(41) And the companions of the left - what are the companions of the left?
(42) [They will be] in scorching fire and scalding water
(43) And a shade of black smoke,
(44) Neither cool nor beneficial.
(45) Indeed they were, before that, indulging in affluence,
(46) And they used to persist in the great violation,[1]
(47) And they used to say, "When we die and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
(48) And our forefathers [as well]?"
(49) Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, the former and later peoples
(50) Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
(51) Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
(52) Will be eating from trees of zaqqūm
(53) And filling with it your bellies
(54) And drinking on top of it from scalding water
(55) And will drink as the drinking of thirsty camels.
(56) That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.
(57) We have created you, so why do you not believe?
(58) Have you seen that which you emit?[1]
(59) Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?
(60) We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
(61) In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.[1]
(62) And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
(63) And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?
(64) Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
(65) If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,[1]
(66) [Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;
(67) Rather, we have been deprived."
(68) And have you seen the water that you drink?
(69) Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
(70) If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
(71) And have you seen the fire that you ignite?
(72) Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
(73) We have made it a reminder[

MashaAllah! Med size majid but in the heart of ice city. Masjid has only 4-5 parking at back entrance. However, there are plenty of parking beside and near by residential 102 St NW street.

Mashallah great masjid. Located at the most high traffic area of Edmoton. May Allah bless the people who are serving the masjid. And the people who are visiting. Ramadan is going great with iftar being served after Dawn.

A very good mosque. I go to them to perform Friday prayers because they are close to my residence, but the location is nice for many homeless people, and parking a car near this mosque is a dangerous thing that could expose the car to breakage or theft, etc.. They have a very good preacher, and I hope they focus on the Arabic language more.

Md S.

Very good place to practice Islam and salah

The masjid is small but its location and the dedication of its managers make it a godsend. The (usual) imam is great masha'Allah. His Friday sermons are often moving and full of extracts from books of Ibn Al Qayyim and such. I think he went home to Ethiopia in Ramadhan, though. His substitute is not as good, especially his Arabic, but he's trying his best, God bless him.

I found last year's Taraweeh prayers a bit underwhelming, alhamdulilleh. It was led by the Jumua imam and a team of teenagers, I'm guessing students of tahfiz. It's not that bad and we need to encourage them, but if you're fluent in tajweed then you'll probably look elsewhere. Insha'Allah I'll pray taraweeh in Masjid Quba this year. It's a bit farther without a car but it will be worth the effort insha'Allah.
