CANADIAN IMAMS ISSUE WIDE RANGING DECLARATION TO CLARIFY MANY MISUNDERSTANDINGS
(Toronto, August 12, 2010) - In a time of heightened tension and hot debate concerning specifically the ground zero mosque in New York and generally the religion of Islam in North America, Canadian imams would like to take the opportunity of the blessed month of Ramadan (month of fasting and reflection) to set the record straight and to tell the public what is truly their position on a number of issues including the sanctity of life, working for the common good of humanity, gender equity and civic engagement.

Organize Your Life during Ramadan |
|
As we are spiritually preparing for Ramadan, I would like to suggest the following program to help everyone – including those of us who go to work early or to school – have an enjoyable, organized, and well-spent month.
Many people think that fasting demands a tremendous amount of energy. Therefore, they convince themselves that many of their usual activities should be reduced or suspended, that many projects should be postponed until the following month. I would like to suggest here a simple schedule, as some brothers and sisters have asked me about how to organize life during this blessed month. This schedule can be applied at any time of the year.

In Ramadan, the ninth month in the lunar calendar, all Muslims enter a season of intensive worship characterized by fasting, praying, giving charity, and training in self-control and self-discipline.
Ramadan became sacred when the first verses of the Holy Qur’an were revealed to Muhammad (pbuh) for the first time around 610 CE. Muslims have been fasting in Ramadan for more than 1,428 years, since God decreed: Oh you who believe! Fasting is decreed for you as it was decreed for those before you, so that you may learn self-restraint (2:183).
