Fostering the fundamental principles and values of Islam in the community

Story

Our vision is greater than just building a center without a spirit, but to fill the center with people from every race and every ethnic group. The central foundations of AHC have been established however it is evolving as it is catering to the growth

The decade-long dream of Abu Huraira Center (AHC) began as an aspiration on the part of a few in a small space above a convenience store. The core motivation of this project was troubled youth, youth without any Islamic recreational outlet, and a community that was dispersed and disconnected. After realizing the substantial increase of the Muslim population in Toronto, we understood the urgency for an all-round Islamic community center.

We visualized a center where we could provide extra-curricular activities tailored to the needs of our youth, furthermore, a center which would house our conferences and community events. The center we dreamed of would not only encompass a place of prayer, but also a place where we could prepare the next generation of Muslims for the best of this world and the next.

As the center continued to expand in growth, a new location was sought to satisfy the wishes of the ever-growing community. Now with 1.56 acres of land and 25,000 sq, the center is host to a wide variety of activities such as several weekly lectures in multiple languages, yearly conferences and a Friday sermon that houses over 1000 attendees. With an already formed community base, AHC became one of the largest gathering areas for Muslims in Toronto within a short period of time.
