Al-Rashid Mosque in Canada: A Symbol of Civilization and Unity
Have you ever heard about the first mosque built in Canada? The story of Al-Rashid Mosque is considered a shining symbol of civilization, unity, and social awareness — and it was established nearly nine decades ago.
Located in Edmonton, Alberta, Al-Rashid Mosque is recognized as the first mosque for Muslims in Canada.
Remarkably, it was built through the initiative of Muslim women and with support not only from Muslims but also from Jewish and Christian communities.
Al-Rashid is also among the earliest mosques in North America, and its story is fascinating from historical, social, and spiritual perspectives.
In this program, we aim to share information about the mosque’s founding, the efforts behind its construction, and the challenges that were overcome along the way.
You can watch the full story of this historic mosque on Wesal TV’s official YouTube channel!
