Quote from the QUR’AN, the verbal divine guidance and moral direction for mankind

(Quran Chapter 19, verse 16-36)
And mention in the Book (the Quran, O Muhammad SAW , the story of) Maryam (Mary), when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east.
She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh [angel Jibrael (Gabriel)], and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects.
She said: "Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah."
(The angel) said: "I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son."
She said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?"
He said: "So (it will be), your Lord said: 'That is easy for Me (Allah): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah).
So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem). Read More

The Islamic Society of Guelph is a non-profit organization that was established to help accommodate the growing Muslim community in Guelph and surrounding area. This is a project that has been in progress for the last 10 years. It took a lot of collaboration with the local Muslim population and city officials to finally call 126 Norwich St E. our new home. Thanks to everyone who donated and volunteered to make this possible, and through the will of Allah our dreams have become a reality.

Est. 1856 for a group of Scottish Congregationalists, and is the 2nd oldest of Guelph’s eleven remaining stone churches. Converted to a Mosque in 2008.

Hadith of Prophet Muhammed

Hadith are narrations concerning the words and deeds of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
From ’Abdullaah Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu ’anhu) who said that the Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, “No one will enter Paradise who has an atom’s weight of pride in his heart.” A man said, “What if a man likes his clothes to look good and his shoes to look good?” He said, “Allaah is beautiful and loves beauty. Pride means denying the truth and looking down on people.” [1]
