Prayer times at Jamia Islamia Canada

Worked out from this masjid’s coordinates for today’s date. They are not Jamia Islamia Canada’s announced jamaa‘ah times — those are set by the masjid and usually differ. Check jamiaislamia.org for the jamaa‘ah timetable.

Today

Calculated prayer times for Jamia Islamia Canada, Mississauga, for today’s date.
PrayerBegins
FajrDawn — ends at sunrise
SunriseFajr ends; no prayer at this moment
DhuhrJust after the sun crosses the meridian
AsrSet by the shadow ratio you choose below
MaghribAt sunset
IshaNightfall

These are calculated times, not Jamia Islamia Canada’s jamaa‘ah times. They are worked out in your browser from this masjid’s own coordinates and today’s date, using the ISNA convention — the same arithmetic a printed timetable uses. What a masjid announces is something else: iqamah is set by the masjid, usually a chosen number of minutes after the prayer begins, and many hold it at a fixed clock time for weeks at a stretch. So the two will not match, and they are not meant to. For the times the congregation actually prays, check the masjid’s own site or phone (905) 279-3040.

Janazah & burial services

Serving Mississauga's Muslim community since 1992. Its own funeral-services page states ghusl and kafan are 'performed according to Islamic guidelines by trained individuals,' the masjid arranges transport from hospital/place of death to the masjid and then to the cemetery, coordinates/announces janazah prayer timing once burial is confirmed, and explicitly instructs families NOT to contact funeral homes, cemeteries, or transport services on their own 'unless instructed.' Also runs JIC Elementary School (JK-8, jicschool.com) with a full-time Hifz program and summer school. No cemetery names or dedicated funeral phone/fee schedule published.

About Jamia Islamia Canada

Jamia Islamia Canada states it 'was founded in 1992 and began by serving the community from a small rented property', moving to progressively larger premises and now operating from 'its current 36000 square foot property which has been purchased outright'. It was founded by Molana Muhammad Asif Qasmi, whom the masjid describes as 'the great grandson of Molana Qasim Nanotvi' and also the founder of Masjid Farooq e Azam in North Nazimabad, Karachi. JIC School, offering Kindergarten to Grade 8, was established in 2012. CRA registered JAMIA ISLAMIA CANADA LTD. (889166955RR0001) effective 1994-01-05 at 2380 Tedlo St, Mississauga - the masjid's own address, two years after its founding.

Tradition — as the organisation describes itself

Sunni. The masjid states it twice on its own about page: it was established 'to serve the growing Muslim community with sincerity guidance and sound Islamic teachings rooted in the Hanafi Sunni tradition', and 'The masjid follows the Sunni tradition in its religious practices and teachings'. We publish how a community describes itself — never our own categorisation of it.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl for women, by women, 24-hour janazah line, the Jumu’ah time. Those are published as gaps rather than filled with a plausible guess. If you know the answer — especially if you are from this organisation — tell us and we will verify and update the listing.

Planning ahead, rather than in a crisis?

The two things a funeral coordinator asks a family for are the burial wishes and the will. Recording where your will is kept and working out the inheritance shares now spares your family both questions at the worst possible moment.
