Temporary Suspension of all Jamatkhana Ceremonies in Quebec

Provincial health authorities in Quebec have announced additional steps to limit large gatherings and close places of worship to reduce the risk of infection from the spread of COVID-19 as of December 31, 5 PM.

As a result, all Jamatkhana ceremonies in the province of Quebec will be temporarily suspended. This includes evening ceremonies as of December 31 and morning ceremonies as of January 1 in all Jamatkhanas. 

We will continue to work closely with the public health authorities on the timing of the resumption of Jamatkhana ceremonies and will keep the Jamat informed.

The Jamati institutions will continue to provide regular information and updates to the Jamat via the electronic Al-Akhbar and iiCanada app. We pray for the safety and security of all Canadians and for all those affected globally.
