A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent community civic education event, “Overcoming Racism and Discrimination in Edmonton.” And a special thank you to David Shepherd, MLA for Edmonton-City Centre and MLA Sharif Haji for joining us, sharing their perspectives, and contributing to such a meaningful and productive discussion. Everyone’s presence, thoughtful contributions, meaningful conversations, and active participation helped make this gathering a valuable opportunity for learning, reflection, and community building.

Events like these create important spaces for open dialogue, raise awareness of the challenges faced by our communities, and empower individuals to become more informed, engaged, and active participants in shaping a more inclusive and equitable society. Together, we continue to strengthen our collective voice and reaffirm the importance of civic engagement in addressing racism and discrimination.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Ali Abdiqafar Ahmed, the beloved son of our respected community member & SCERDO board treasurer, Abdiqafar Ali Ahmed, who returned to Allah (SWT) earlier today at the University Hospital.

Janazah prayer will be held on Monday, May 11, 2026, after Dhuhr prayer at Al Rashid Mosque. Burial will follow at Edmonton Muslim Cemetery.

We kindly ask the community to attend, keep the family in your prayers, and share this post so others may join in honoring him and supporting the family during this difficult time.

May Allah (SWT) shower him with His infinite mercy, forgive his shortcomings, expand and illuminate his grave, and grant him the highest level of Jannah. May Allah also grant patience and strength to his loved ones.

Ameen.
