As-salāmu ʿalaykum, --

What started off as just an extension of March Break, turned out to become the most challenging few months for all Canadians - young and old. It is important to address that the greatest challenge is that as of right now, as the world has slowly begun to reopen in spite of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we need to continue to maintain our physical distance and follow provincial guidelines. The situation is fluid, as it’s currently underway into its second wave, Ontario is reporting an approximate daily increase of 600 new cases. Medical experts believe these numbers will grow in the coming flu season. We pray for your safety and ask you to do the same. 

This week, Muslims in the House covers events for the week ending October 2nd. We touch on foreign affairs, specifically relating to the Uyghurs, Orange Shirt Day, COVID-19 vaccines, and the economy. 

Do it - by any means necessary

Reflection piece on civic engagement by Toota Hassanien, TCMV Volunteer

In 1995, I came to this country from Sudan with my parents, 3 siblings and with hope for a more stable life. My parents, a father educated in nutrition and a stay at home mom, gave up a community and in some ways their own lives to establish themselves here in Canada.  

As-salāmu ʿalaykum, check out some of these exciting events coming up before summer ends!

Do you have a passion for increasing civic engagement within the Muslim community? Are you a hardworking and driven individual, interested in politics, and an experienced community organizer within your region? Well, we are looking for YOU!
