NEW! Ottawa Muslim Student Housing Database

E-mail Print PDF

OTTAWA MUSLIM STUDENT HOUSING DATABASE

As a Muslim, if you are living on your own in Ottawa, it can be a challenge to both find a roommate or find proper lodging. In the interest of pulling together those individuals who either need a roommate, need a room or both, here is what you can do, insha'Allah!

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A ROOMMATE (I.E. YOU ARE ALREADY IN OTTAWA AND HAVE A SPARE ROOM)

Please send an email to ottawa.muslim.student.housing@gmail.com
In the Subject heading, please write: (NAME) - BROTHER/SISTER WITH A ROOM AVAILABLE.
Include in the remainder of the email a little bit about your apartment/house, where it's located, etc. and a brief description of who you are.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A ROOM (I.E. YOU ARE NEW TO OTTAWA OR HAVE NEED OF SOMEWHERE TO STAY)

Please send an email to ottawa.muslim.student.housing@gmail.com
In the Subject heading, please write: (NAME) - BROTHER/SISTER LOOKING FOR HOUSING/ROOMMATE
Include in the remainder of the email a little bit about yourself.

If those who are new to Ottawa exceed those who have rooms available, the database will pair two individuals who are new so that they can find lodging together. Housing information will be provided to these couples.

If you have any questions, simply send them to ottawa.muslim.student.housing@gmail.com.

Jazakallah khair!

Do you know how people say that wisdom is an outcome of experience and age? I thought that was just an old saying void of any true significance in meaning… until last year …This past year was one filled with stories that would have been worth being documented in my life story diary if I had one. My days were pretty mellow before then…you see, weird, random, unexpected, spontaneous things never really happened to me before…ever… till last year that is….surprisingly.

 

Others may call it a change of ambience; I would call it a test of morals, ethics and people skills. Alhamdulilah I think I passed the test…and if I didn’t, I sure learned a whole lot.

 

There were many moments where circumstance forced me out of my natural element, my reserved, drama-less world that is, and turned me into a nervous, confrontational, blunt, judgmental, overly-suspicious individual that frankly I ,myself, couldn’t even recognize at first.

Although these circumstances may have left a scar on my character and created a negative energy about me, they did have their advantages.  On the plus side, they allowed me to grow as a person and understand life and people a little bit more. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason, besides it being decreed by Allah; whether it is happy, memorable, awkward, embarrassing, unexplainable or just plain routine and that they change our perspective on life minimally or tremendously, directly or indirectly. Whatever the case, I think that we should take our experiences, and learn from them and allow ourselves to grow and gain wisdom from them and try to demonstrate an akhlaq that resembles the mannerisms of the prophet (s.a.w).

 

I think I could conclude that the past year taught me more about Islamic etiquettes and attitudes than all of my past Islamic studies teachers since first grade combined. That starting anything with the right intention is more fruitful. What it means to love someone only for the sake of Allah. How to stay calm even if all hell breaks loose and your abaya sets on fire. That not jumping to conclusions and assuming the best of your brother/sister is better. Always aim for higher than your goal so your goal becomes easily attainable. How to solve a problem that involves someone you don’t know very well. The art of helping people comes from the ability to not only sympathize with them but to empathize with them too. Forgiving and forgetting is better than just forgiving. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and be cool about it. How to use the quran and sunnah of the prophet as a life manual. And the list continues to grow as the days go by.

I have to say, if last year never happened how it did, I probably wouldn’t be this tiny bit much wiser…so alhamdulilah for everything.

May Allah increase us in wisdom, knowledge and give us serenity..ameen

Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land.
