The Day It All Began
Time To Move
It all began on Dec. 23rd, 1992. A dedicated group of Muslims came together to establish a place of prayer called Dar-Assunnah located in the east end of Ottawa.
We moved to a new location on Bank street across from South Keys Shopping Centre. Don't let the corner store sign fool you, this new place of prayer became our home for many years.
2004 1998 Investment For The Future Non-Profit Status
With help from the community, we were able to purchase a plot of land on 1216 Hunt Club Road which would serve as the location of our new masjid and community centre.
It was in 2004 when we registered as the nonprofit: Assunnah Muslims Association (AMA).
2007 Phase 1 Of Construction In 2007 we began construction on our future masjid. The first major phase of the masjid project involved cutting trees on the property, cleaning debris from the site, performing earthworks (land leveling and top soiling), and excavation.
2008 Phase 2 Of Construction The second phase involved the installation of the water main, main sanitary system, water storm management system, and all required earthworks (hauling, backfill, leveling, etc.).
2009 Phase 3 Of Contruction The base of the masjid is formed, power lines are integrated, and work on both the interior and exterior of the building begins.
2011
Phase 4 Of Construction The building is slowly beginning to take its final form. Drywall is added to the basement and the washrooms are now functional. Finally, the parking lot is transformed from barren land into paved roads.
2012 Phase 5 Of COnstruction The basement is receiving its final touches before the contractor allows us to partially occupy the building. This means we can use the basement floor for worship while construction continues on the floors above.
2012 Opening Day We were granted partial occupancy of our new masjid and we were able to leave our old building on Bank Street for good. Although construction upstairs was ongoing, we were permitted to use the basement for worship.
