SERVICES

Jamia Riyadhul Jannah (JRJ) offers an array of essential religious, educational, and social services to the residents of Mississauga and the surroundings areas.

Daily Prayers

The five daily prayers – including the weekly Jumu’ah prayers – are held at JRJ throughout the calendar year. For prayer times, please refer to the prayer calendar.

Food Bank

Sayyidah Zahrah (SA) Foodbank is a Halal Foodbank located at the Jamia Riyadhul Jannah 6680 Campobello Rd, Mississauga, ON L5N 2L8. The peel region registers Sayyidah Zahrah (SA) Foodbank. Sayyidah Zahrah (SA) Foodbank has been serving hundreds of families in GTA for the past two years. Several Muslim and non-Muslim families use Sayyidah Zahrah (SA) Foodbank for their basic grocery and other domestic needs.

Over the years, Sayyidah Zahrah (SA) Foodbank has become an integral part of our community. Several families depend on its FREE grocery supplies. Members of the community donate non-perishable grocery and other household items to be delivered to GTA’s needy families. However, sometimes foodbank has to buy grocery and other household items from grocery stores to meet our clients’ demands. Therefore, large grocery stores are requested to support Sayyidah Zahrah (SA) Foodbank.

Evening Madrassah/Nazra Qur’an

Jamia Riyadhul Jannah (JRJ) offers evening Qur’an classes for children from Monday to Thursday every week. Classes are held from 5:30pm – 7:00pm and are held separately for boys and girls.

Library

One of the latest additions to the services offered at JRJ has been an Islamic library. The library includes a rich variety of texts in Arabic, Urdu and English that cover a large range of subjects. Amongst others, books on Aqeedah, Fiqh, Seerah, Islamic history, Tafseer, Hadith, Poetry, and contemporary issues can be found in the library. In the future, the library will be expanded to include texts that cover a wider breadth of subjects as well as providing increased depth. At present, the only requirement for using the library is a onetime fee.

Bookstore

Jamia Riyadhul Jannah operates an Islamic bookstore that carries texts on various sacred subjects. The number and variety of books that we carry are being added regularly. We invite you to take advantage of this facility by acquiring those texts which provide necessary Islamic knowledge for Muslims.

Interfaith Dialogue

Jamia Riayadhul Jannah has become one of the leading mosques in the GTA for engaging Canadians of different faiths in dialogue. Interfaith dialogues help Muslims and non-Muslims to understand each other’s views on beliefs, issues, and challenges. They help in uniting the community and making Canada a better place for all Canadians.
