The Islamic Society of Kingston

I grew up in this masjid, although I no longer live in Kingston. It's very friendly and welcoming, and has always tried its best to adhere to Islamic principles while being as accommodating as possible to all of those who come through its doors. The masjid recently hired a young Imam by the name of Sikander Hashmi, who I think is a great fit for this masjid, and embodies what the identity of a Canadian Muslim should be, in my opinion. The fact that there is only one masjid in Kingston tells you what a good job this masjid has done of bringing together Muslims from different walks of life, as well as from different interpretations. I think this masjid can serve as a model for many other masjids in Canada, especially as it has done a good job of keeping positive relations with non-Muslims in the area. The masjid has plenty of parking, a large women's space, and many activities each week, and is democratically governed.
