Be a part of Canadian Muslim history

We call on Muslims across Canada to join us in rebuilding the Quebec mosque to make it the symbol of a place that Canadians should never forget, a place that Muslims all over the world should never forget.

The Quebec City mosque is where, on January 29, 2017, a lonely armed man with a heart filled with hatred shot dead Muslim worshipers gathered for evening prayers. Six men were killed that night, 17 children were left without their fathers and several others were injured. An entire community was shaken as the rest of the country, the rest of the world, joined them in mourning the worst massacre at a place of worship in Canadian history.

The shooter hoped to destroy more than lives that night; he wanted to wipe out the Muslim presence in Canada.

He did not succeed. His actions have inspired Muslims across Canada to come together, to hold more firmly to their faith and to be proud of who we are as Muslims, as Canadians.

The Quebec mosque has a special place in the hearts of Canadians, let's help its reconstruction so that it stands as the beacon of hope and light that it is.

Our Vision

With your help, the Quebec City mosque will become a historical site of national and global significance.

Inshallah, once completed, this is what your visit to the Quebec City mosque will look like:

As you approach the entrance, you would be struck by the beautiful simplicity of the building with a minaret standing tall alongside our neighbor's Church tower.

The small garden that you walk through between the church and the mosque will be home to a monument with six pillars, representing the six lives that were lost - bringing you into the mindset of entering a house of God, of entering a house of worship of historical significance.

As you walk through the large, fortified doors of the mosque you would see a welcoming space for worshipers and visitors alike - Muslims and non-Muslims.

A plaque honoring the beautiful lives that were lost at this house of worship would immediately remind you of the blessing of being able to be in the mosque on that day.

Visitors would be taken on a tour of the mosque so they can learn about its story of tragedy and resilience.

As they walk through the mosque, they would hear the voices of the children of our community at Sunday school, or the sounds of our youth working on a charitable project, or the adhaan as worshipers fill the rows.

All reminders of the resilience of Canadian Muslims, as we hold the mosque closer to our hearts than ever before.
