Al-Firdous Islamic Centre
Al-Firdous Islamic Centre was borne out of a community identified need for a place that could be a service hub for all. It is a centre built on grassroots efforts, and with humble beginnings. The goal was to create a centre that could be used for congregational prayers, and community events. Key founders of the organization decided to mobilise the community from intention to action.
Since its inception, the Al-Firdous Islamic Centre has been built on the faith and sweat of its volunteer and donor community. A fund raising event was held at the Lawrence Community Centre in Toronto. Attended by members of the community, funds were raised to acquire a lease for a central location that could be used for the centre.
