Prayer times at Masjid Al-Jannah (Sri Lanka Islamic Foundation of Ontario)

Worked out from this masjid’s coordinates for today’s date. They are not Masjid Al-Jannah (Sri Lanka Islamic Foundation of Ontario)’s announced jamaa‘ah times — those are set by the masjid and usually differ. Check masjidaljannah.ca for the jamaa‘ah timetable.

Today

Calculated prayer times for Masjid Al-Jannah (Sri Lanka Islamic Foundation of Ontario), Scarborough, 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 Masjid Al-Jannah (Sri Lanka Islamic Foundation of Ontario)’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 (647) 342-7544.

Janazah & burial services

Established by the Sri Lanka Islamic Foundation of Ontario (SLIFO) to serve the Sri Lankan Muslim community in the GTA. ⚠️ IMPORTANT NUANCE, confirmed from the masjid's own janaza page this pass: Masjid Al Jannah runs a Janaza Committee that families contact first, but the physical funeral work is carried out THROUGH PARTNER MASJIDS, not in-house. The page lists release of the body, transport to the masjid, preparation for burial, coffin and kafan, cold storage, death registration, burial permits, transport to the cemetery and complete burial services explicitly as 'Funeral services through the above mosques' - namely Islamic Foundation of Toronto (Nugget), Madina Masjid, Jame Abu Bakr Siddique and Markham Masjid. Mortuary, cold storage, ghusl, kafan and transport are therefore left unconfirmed for Masjid Al Jannah itself rather than marked true. Published janaza contacts: In-town - Br. Adam Jahankeer 416-885-1806 (primary), Br. Shiraz Mohideen 416-522-4645 (secondary); Ghaib/out-of-town janaza - Br. Zubair Mahamood 416-844-3817 (primary). Muslim gravesites at Pine Ridge Memorial Gardens (Pickering-Ajax) can be arranged through these organisations. Non-Muslim friends are welcome to attend, with an appropriate dress code.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl facility, Ghusl for women, by women, Kafan (shroud), Transport of the deceased and more. 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.
