Toronto Mayor, John Tory, celebrated Eid Al-Adha, “A festive morning with the Islamic Society of Toronto (Masjid Dar Us Salaam) and members of the Thorncliffe Park Muslim community,” August 22, 2018.
This is the Festival of Sacrifice, a four day celebration.
This appearance came one day after he attended services at the Masjid Toronto Mosque run by the Muslim Association of Canada to celebrate a: Eid al-Adha. Tory tweeted: “It was a pleasure to join the Muslim Association of Canada this morning to celebrate Eid Al-Adha. #EidAlAdha.”
Read the prayers, the teachings, the supplications, unfiltered, that are shared at the mosques, Then ask yourself what would have happened if Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Jainists, Hindus or Sikhs shared similar sentiments from their houses of worship. Here is your opportunity to think critically.
Here are some examples from the prayers recited at Masjid Toronto:
Ayman Elkasrawy (July 2016):
[O Allah], give us victory over the disbelieving people… O Allah, give victory to Islam and raise the standing of Muslims. O Allah, give victory to Islam and raise the standing of Muslims. [O Allah], as for those who wish ill for Islam and Muslims, restrain them by their neck and destroy them as you destroyed [the peoples of ]ʿĀd and Thamud [ancient peoples that perished by Allah because they didn’t heed the warnings of the prophets].
In a second prayer
O Allah! Count their number; slay them one by one and spare not one of them. O Allah! Do not defer [it] from them
O Allah! Count their number; slay them one by one and spare not one of them. O Allah! Purify Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews! O Allah! Purify Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews!
Now here are some examples of preaching at the Islamic Society of Toronto, Masjid Dar Us Salaam, at 4 Thorncliffe Park Drive in Toronto, Ontario. This is the mosque that the father of Faisal Hussain, the man who went on a terror campaign on the Danforth in Toronto helped to build. The mainstream media were quick to report that Hussain had a mental illness- based on the statement by someone who represented the family but has no medical knowledge. And as yet, none of us have heard from Hussain’s doctors. Other than hearsay, we have no facts that prove Hussain was mentally ill rather than a terrorist.
Here are some excerpts from the “Final Dua” [supplication] that was delivered by Ahmad Ali on April 1, 2018 at the Islamic Society of Toronto, Masjid Dar Us Salaam. Hussain went on his murder tirade July 22.
O Allah! Count their number, slay [kill] them one by one and make them a lesson to their likenesses
O Allah! You are our Helper, and You are our Victor, and You are sufficient for us, and the best guardian.
O Allah! Raise the standing of Islam and the Muslims
And humiliate the oppression and the unjust people
And destroy Your enemies, the enemies of the religion [of Islam]
Oh Allah, Defeat them and make the ground shake beneath their feet, and show us in them the wonders of Your Might, for they are weak before You, O Mighty, O Powerful.
O Allah! Raise the standing of Islam and the Muslims.Another statement of extreme importance is the verse where Allaah declares that although He may forgive any sin, He will never forgive the act of shirk [ the sin of practicing idolatry or polytheism].
Here are more examples of teachings at this mosque from 2016 and 2017.
The Muslims are also warned against taking the Jews and Christians as friends.
Allaah makes it clear that the belief in the ‘Trinity’ constitutes kufr [heresy] and that enmity and hatred have been entrenched into the hearts of the kuffaar [disbelievers/ infidels] till Qiyaamah [Day of Resurrection]. Allaah entreats Rasululllaah [messenger of Allah] (sallAllaahu-alayhi-wa-sallam) [peace be upon him] not to be grieved about the disbelief of the kuffaar [disbelievers/ infidels] because he is not responsible for them. Surah Maa’idah [The fifth chapter of the Quran “The Table Spread”] also states that Jannah [paradise] is forbidden for the Mushrikeen [polytheists] and that oppressors will have none to aid them against Allaah. Allaah says that those people of the past who adhered to the divine religions of their times will attain salvation if they firmly believed in Allaah and in the Day of Qiyaamah [Day of Resurrection].
Allaah’s Deen [religion of Islam] will always conquer and rise, while the kuffaar [disbelievers/ infidels] will suffer a terrible doom for their falsehood.”
When the Prophet Isa [Jesus] (Peace be upon him) returns to this world he will be a Prophet and implement the law of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Prophet Isa [Jesus] will judge and live according to the shariah of Muhammad(peace and blessings be upon him).
Allaah also commands the Mu’mineen [Muslim believers] to wage jihaad; impresses on their minds that martyrdom is an exalted position and states that fear for death is an act of cowardice for a Muslim…
Here is the way animals are slaughtered in many places around the world during Eid Al-AdhaI. I must tell you I had to turn it off.
I am also sharing an article about the Muslim treatment of animals in the Middle East” sheep and cattle being inhumanely slaughtered in the streets of Gaza, Jordan and Kuwait.
From the Ethics of the Fathers: “Rabbi Tarfon used to say, it is not incumbent upon you to complete the task, but you are not exempt from undertaking it.”
