Masjid Ar-Rahman Foundation of North Vancouver

 (the first and only Masjid for Muslims in North Vancouver and West Vancouver).

 

North Vancouver is a beautiful city in British Columbia, Canada.

This city, however, was missing a Sunni dedicated masjid to

serve the many Muslims living in the area. Rather, the faithful

were gathering in rented units or journeying across the Burrard

Inlet to Vancouver for their religious duties.

 

Seeing this need, in 2012 the North Vancouver Islaamic

Association was formed. It purchased a church on the corner of

Phillip and W.15th Street and began the renovation and

re-construction that transformed it into a masjid. By the Grace

of Allaah, the masjid was completed in early 2013. Masjid

Ar-Rahman was opened, and now is a place of worship, relaxation

and learning for the Muslims living in the North Shore area.

 

The brothers and sisters of the community are very active and are involved in various programs at the masjid. In order to continue to facilitate this spirit and to inspire further growth, the Masjid also has a dedicated section for the sisters. The “Light of the Believers” or “Noor Al-Mu'minaat” was established in the summer of 2013 and will enhance the Masjid community by better serving the sisters and their families Insha'Allah.
