Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
Respected Brothers and Sisters,

Eid-ul-Adha commemorates the unwavering faith and willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.) and his family to make the ultimate sacrifice. It is a reminder for all of us to sacrifice selfishness, envy, greed, falsehood, slander, suspicion, and distrust—so we may grow closer to our families, friends, neighbors, and ultimately, to Allah.

The act of sacrificing an animal is not merely symbolic; it encourages believers to purify themselves of negative traits and to strengthen unity within the family and the community.

The sacrificial animal represents obedience and devotion to Almighty Allah and the willingness to persevere patiently on His path.

Drawing closer to Allah also means drawing closer to people—through compassion, trust, and mutual respect.

Special Note:

• Any Muslim household that possesses wealth above the nisab threshold (equivalent to 91.5 grams of gold—about $20,450 CAD this year) is required to offer a Qurban (sacrifice) during Eid al-Adha.
• The estimated cost of a Qurban in Toronto this year is around $500 CAD (cash). You can arrange a Qurban locally through Kabul Farm Supermarket:
  • Toronto: 416-244-7656
  • Mississauga: 905-306-1888
• If you’re unable to fulfill this obligation locally, you may arrange Qurban to be sacrificed in Bosnia through this masjid. The cost is also $500 CAD.
• Payments for Qurban in Bosnia can be made either in person at the mosque or online via www.bictoronto.com, using Mervice or The Masjid App, under the “KURBAN” category, by May 25, 2026.

May Eid-ul-Adha revive our faith and renew our hope for a better and happier life.

May your sacrifice and all your good deeds be accepted, and may they bring the blessings of Allah the Almighty and goodness to you and your loved ones!

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, dear Brothers and Sisters,

As we enter the winter months, the weather is becoming colder, wetter, and windier. Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, our congregation at the Bosnian Islamic Centre has continued to grow over the years. With this blessing, we have also observed that during Jumu’ah many brothers are praying outside due to limited indoor space.

To better accommodate our growing community and ensure everyone can comfortably attend the Friday prayer during this Winter, the Board has decided to offer two Jumu’ah khutbahs and prayers during the winter season, beginning this Friday, October 3rd.

🕐 First Jumu’ah: Khutbah begins at 1:30 PM*
🕝 Second Jumu’ah: Khutbah begins at 2:30 PM*

Please plan accordingly and make every effort to arrive on time for the khutbah and prayer.

May Allah reward you for your understanding and continued support.
Bosnian Islamic Centre Board

*Please note new timings (14/11/2025)

Islamic classes running from September until June every Saturday

Dear parents, esteemed brothers and sisters!

Children are a great blessing for parents, but also a great test and obligation. What is better and more precious than healthy, educated and well mannered children? While many admit this, very few parents watch over their children with this belief in mind.

Many parents believe their responsibilities from Allah to their children are fulfilled if they leave behind a house, apartment, cottage, or expensive car, while neglecting character and education.

However, let’s start with the assumption that not all parents are negligent and most care for the education and upbringing of their children.

The Holy Qur’an, through the example of the wise Luqman, teaches how to raise our children…Read more.
