| Jame Abu Bakr Siddique: ★★★ Architecturally, Abu Bakr Masjid is one of the nicest masjids in Toronto. There is a generous space for women overlooking the mens area, numerous classrooms, and a large parking space. Very close to Halal restaurants as well as public transit. Having said that, unfortunately, the feel you get in the masjid is not as pleasant. If you do not belong to the predominant race of the masjid, it feels as though you're always being watched by the others. There is loud chatter in the womens area up until the moment the Imam says 'Allahu Akbar', and for a while it felt more like a social gathering than a masjid congregation. The Masjid just had its grand opening and there have already been complaints by the Imam over the P.A system about males and females mingling on Masjid premises while tarawih salaah is going on. This Masjid has enormous potential, and I do hope those congregants adjust their behaviour so that this Masjid does not turn into some local hangout. (Submitted on August 18, 2010) |
| Islamic Society of Markham: ★★★★★ Architecturally this building is very unique Masha'Allah. It is not like the typical Masjid, and is definitely worth visiting! It is in a great location, has a large parking space, separate women's area, and numerous programs. (Submitted on August 18, 2010) |
| York Region Islamic Centre: ★★★★ Last time I visited, there was no barrier between the brother's and sister's prayer space. Nonetheless, the space was massive and the tarawih recitors were amazing. (Submitted on August 18, 2010) |
| Islamic Foundation of Toronto: ★★★★★ The Islamic Foundation of Toronto is one of the overall best Masjids in Toronto. The building architecture, the accomodations, the facilities, the programs, the location, the prayer space, the recitors, and the people are amazing Alhamdulillah. The Imam is very engaging and well-liked by his congregants. The sisters area is in a balcony overlooking the main hall, and many sisters find this set-up very comfortable. The Foundation offers many programs from halaqas, youth groups, soup kitchen days for the poor, tafseer classes, a full time school, madressa, summer school, hifz classes, and much more. Definitely a Masjid to visit! (Submitted on August 17, 2010) |
