Abstract
Al Rashid Mosque: Building Canadian Muslim Communities by Earle H. Waugh
Highlights
Written in an easy to read, non-scholarly tone, this book is accessible to a wide audience
Waugh includes some interesting facts about Canadian Muslims, one of which is that Scottish converts were the first Muslims in Canada
The subsequent migration from the Arab world came as a result of people from those regions seeking a more peaceful place to live—away from the colonialism in the Arab world and to seek better economic opportunities
Summary
Written in an easy to read, non-scholarly tone, this book is accessible to a wide audience. The book has five chapters that deal with various aspects of the mosque and community evolution. This created a new challenge for those who stayed back—the need for a Muslim community and spaces to worship, educate their children, among other things.
