Asalaamualaikum
Peace Be Unto You

BCMA ELECTION 2026

Hello everyone…

On Sunday March 29th the BC Muslim Association will be holding its AGM and will be electing its new President

This election requires a new leader to come forward and helm the largest organization representing our Muslim Community…

That leader has come forward…
Brother Raza Mirani

I am honoured to wholeheartedly give my own personal endorsement and urge the committee from all BCMA branches to come together and elect Brother Raza Mirani as its new President

I have known Raza since we were children learning Quran together nearly 50 years ago at the Al Masjid Al Jamia Vancouver British Columbia’s historic First Mosque and have served as Directors and terms as President at one time or another of the Pakistan Canada Association est. 1963.

The BC Muslim Association was formed in 1964-65 from this place and has went on to become the leading institution for our entire Muslim community…

The BCMA has always been led by the many volunteers who dedicated their lives to our community and Ummah… May Allah SWT accept their efforts and forgive their shortcomings…

Great achievements have been made and also some unfortunate setbacks have occurred that we are all too well aware of…

The BCMA is sorely in need of new leadership that can deliver on its great potential and to proactively chart a fresh course of growth, stability and good stewardship that it deserves now and for the future.

Brother Raza Mirani has already served many years in various positions within the BCMA, excelled in leadership roles as a Principal, an educator, school board trustee, Vice Chair of the Vancouver Police Board and countless volunteer roles at the Municipal, Provincial and Federal levels.

He is an articulate and eloquent speaker, a trusted voice and steady hand in the face of turbulence, a fierce advocate for consensus professionalism and good governance.

This will be the most consequential election in BCMA’s history… we need a leader worthy to seize and meet the moment…

Vote for Brother Raza Mirani

Respectfully,

Haroon Khan

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT

Join us this Sunday, March 15th for the 22nd Annual
Ramadan Spirit Food Drive benefitting Vancouver’s Homeless and Hungry on Main & Hastings Street on the Lower East side of Vancouver

Hosted by Pakistan Canada Association est. 1963 - Al Masjid Al Jamia Vancouver, B.C.’s historic first Mosque and our many generous supporters, sponsors and volunteers…

WHEN: Food Drive: Sunday MARCH 15, 2026
2 pm to 4:30 PM
WHERE: MAIN & HASTINGS ST.

Sunday March 15 7:15pm-9 PM
WHERE: AL JAMIA MASJID VANCOUVER
655 WEST 8TH AVENUE, VANCOUVER, B.C.

During this month of Ramadan we Muslims go without food and water by choice, serving during inclement weather while those out on the streets endure conditions where they don’t know what their next meal will be or where to stay while being subject to the elements and dangers of life on this lonely corner in East Vancouver…

This year we are doing our part to raise awareness and to encourage action with our words, thoughts and deeds to help those in need here and to remember and pray for Peace for those afflicted by the ever present disaster of Wars embroiling the world we all call home…
From Iran to Gaza, Sudan to Myanmar and all points in conflict zones across the planet…
We pray for them and all of humanity for a better
life with peace, dignity and a sense of a global community for the enrichment of us all

The month of Ramadan is the most cherished of months in the Islamic religion. A special time for practicing self restraint, reflection, prayers and a time for giving to those in need. We invite ours and all communities, races and faiths to come together and make common cause to help our most vulnerable fellow human beings who suffer from homelessness and hunger individuals and families and those dealing with Addictions and mental health issues with kindness, compassion, food, friendship and love.
�We are requesting individuals and organizations to bring canned or packaged non-persishable food items for donation to the Vancouver Food Bank and the Muslim Food Bank.
�GIVE GENEROUSLY ALL ARE WELCOME

About us:
Founded and sponsored by Pakistan Canada Association - Al Jamia Masjid Vancouver, British Columbia's historic and oldest Mosque at the forefront of interfaith and engagement with all communities delivered with the support of countless organizations, individual donors, volunteers and people like you.
