Dear brothers/sisters,
Currently we are seeking to solidify our financial support for this and other essential Islaamic programmes. We have a target of $5000 (of which rent alone is $2550) which we are seeking to raise amongst the community in a way that is easy for everyone. We are trying to have every capable member of the local and international community donate $50 a month (or a number which is sustainable for you) towards achieving this goal. To date, the Centre has been running primarily on the dependence of TROIDStore, the goal of TROIDStore was/is to establish a full-fledged non-profit shop to service Canada and beyond, it is still in the growing stage, profits from it are intended to support instilling a Student of Knowledge in the community and to support various da’wah projects and events.
Target: $5000 [100 @ $50 or 200 @ $25]
Currently, we have 44 people supporting the centre on a monthly basis amounting to $1875 between them or approx $42 a person. This does not cover 1/2 of the operational expenses (rent alone is $2550). We need a consistent donation base to sustain activity, a small but manageable donation from you that can be continuous monthly.
What will I be Supporting?
TROID as an organization benefits the community in many ways, for some, it is Masjidul-Furqaan, for some it is troid.org, for others it is seminars, pamphlets, TROID Publications etc. In some way, this organization has been of aid and assistance to your Islaam and we are in need of your kind support to sustain it. Your kind donations go towards the following programs and more:
- Masjid al-Furqaan & Islaamic Da’wah Centre
- The TROID Islaamic Academy for Muslim Children (http://www.troid.org/centre/our-projects/troid-islaamic-academy-2.html)
- Our Islaamic Seminars & Events
- http://www.troid.org/, http://www.islaam.ca/, http://www.islaam.ae/, contributions to http://www.salaf.com/ and other online da’wah work
- TROID Publications (and free booklets, da’wah pamphlets and translations to Spanish, French etc.)
- Khutbahs in the Public Schools (Weekly: Dixon Grove Middle School, Kipling High School Periodically: York University)
- The Masjid Library (its expansion and maintenance)
- Ontario Prison Da’wah Programme (and Liaison with US Penitentiary Da’wah)
- TROIDStore, now the largest authentic online store in the world with other 2000 products (non-profit – all proceeds support the da’wah)
And many other important da’wah activities, we are perhaps the only da’wah organization in Canada committed to spreading the Qur’an and Sunnah on this scale – we need your help to continue and expand it.

Masha’Allaah, this is good news and good work but someone else will support it I’m Sure?
This is what the Shaytaan would like us to believe, the reality is, if everyone thinks this way, the buck will always be passed to the next person. Take it upon yourself akhee or ukhtee to make an effort to gain the pleasure of Allaah, to stand in line with us to spread this da’wah and defend the truth! Sign up for a small but manageable consistent donation, do not allow yourself to read this appeal and walk away. Let’s continue the strong efforts to build our community upon the Book and the Sunnah, to seek Allaah’s pleasure and to protect ourselves and our Children from misguidance. Ask yourself, what would happen if this blessing was removed from us? Where would be learn? Where would be pray, where would we benefit from this pure and blessed Aqeedah, free from corruption, misguidance or any doubts. Ask yourself ‘what I’m I doing to help?’ We ask you by Allaah for your support. Call us below or email us back and we can cooperate upon birr and taqwaa.
Jazaakumullaahu khair for your time, remember us in your du’aa.
wa salaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullaah
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-’Uthaymeen on April Fools Day - The noble Scholar advises the Muslims who partake in this day (i.e. April 1st) by lying and deceiving each other in jest. He outlines four prohibitions that every Muslim who partakes in the frivolous activities of this day falls into. And he concludes with an advice for the Muslims explaining why they are in such a humiliated position in front of the non-Muslims and he clarifies the way out of this current predicament.
