The Islamic Society of York Region, often referred to as the Islamic Center or the ISYR, was established in the August of 1999. A large area of 33 acres was bought by ICIT Director Zafar Bangash and some partners. Work was begun to renovate the two main buildings of the area, one of which became a mosque while the other became a Banquet Hall. The mosque has improved greatly since that time, and now features: a large, lavishly decorated banquet hall, a small Islamic library, a large prayer hall, ablution facilities, a swimming pool, playground, soccer field and picnic area, and a television studio. The ISYR now holds weekly Friday Congregational Prayers (Jumuah), Nightly Prayers in Ramadan (Taraweeh), weekly Iftar Programs in Ramadan, a weekly Islamic Sunday School. The mosque has also become more interactive, now hosting a website (www.isyr.org, where you can find out about the latest going-ons at the Center. There is also a television channel based at the mosque, called Muslim Perspectives, which shows events at the mosque and interviews with various people about Islamic or world issues. (Visit the website for more information). A second mosque has been opened in Newmarket which is a brother-mosque of the Islamic Society of York Region. ***ON AUGUST 16TH, 2009, THE ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF YORK REGION WILL BE HOSTING ITS TENTH ANNIVERSARY EVENT. BRING YOUR WHOLE FAMILY TO COMMEMORATE TEN YEARS OF ISYR. NO ENTRANCE FEES. THERE ARE ONLY SMALL FEES FOR KIDS GAMES AND FOOD. AS ALWAYS DONATIONS ARE ACCEPTED.***

Sunrise
Shurooq is the time of sunrise, the time when the upper limb of the sun just starts to appear above the horizon. This marks the end time for Fajr (morning) prayer.
Qiyam
The term Qiyam-ul-layl, in the most literal sense, means to stand during the night. It is a voluntary prayer which is offered between the time of Ishaa prayer and the Fajr prayer (before dawn). But the most preferred time is before sunrise, in the last third of the night.For more information, read our article on qiyam.

The difference between Standard and Hanafi (Juristic Methods)
The only difference is in the Asr prayer. In the standard method (which is used by Imamas Shafii, Hanbali, and Maliki) the Asr prayer time starts when the shadow of an object is equivalent to its height, whereas in the Hanafi method the Asr prayer time starts when the shadow of an object is twice its height.
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from standard time during the summer months, and back again in the fall, in order to make better use of natural strong daylight. IslamicFinder Website is adjusting daylight savings automatically according to your location.
Latitude and Longitude
To calculate the prayer times for a given location, we need to know the latitude and the longitude of your current city or town, along with the local timezone for that location. IslamicFinder is detecting longitude, latitude and timezone of your current city or town automatically. If you face any difference in prayer timings according to your current location then please confirm these latitude and longitude first. You can also use our 'Change Settings' option to change latitude, longitude and timezone of your current location. You can find this option of 'Change Settings' from Top Search bar setting link on right side or from today prayer times card.
