Canadians live with a disability — a significant portion of your congregation may be facing barriers you haven't yet considered.
2025
The year AODA came into full force. Islamic centres with paid employees are legally obligated to comply — whether they know it or not.
Fard
Inclusion isn't just a legal requirement. The Quran and Prophetic Sunnah make it a collective religious obligation upon Muslim leaders.

Rooted in Islamic Tradition

Companions and scholars renowned for their
character and knowledge —
their disability was of secondary importance.

Islamic tradition has always been rooted in accessibility and inclusion. Let us revive what was already there — in the Quran and the Prophetic Sunnah — for every Muslim who has been left at the threshold.

A collective obligation upon every Muslim organization
The Manual

Everything your organization needs to lead with inclusion.

01
AODA Legal Framework
Plain-language breakdown of your legal obligations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act — specific to places of worship.
02
Facility Audit Checklists
Detailed checklists for exterior and interior spaces — entrances, ramps, parking, wudu areas, prayer halls, washrooms, and signage.
03
Accessible Wudu Area Specs
Precise measurements and design guidance for ablution areas that accommodate mobility devices, seating, and diverse physical needs.
04
Digital Accessibility Guide
WCAG 2.0 compliance for your website, social media, and print materials — so your communications reach every community member.
05
Service Animals & Islam
A scholarly exploration of the Islamic rulings on service animals — essential reading for every masjid administrator and imam.
06
Action Plan Templates
Step-by-step guidance to move your organization from awareness to accountability — with policy templates, feedback processes, and consultation tools.

Attitudes are the biggest barrier to inclusion. Regardless of the legal obligation — as Muslims, it is our collective responsibility to ensure that all members can access spiritual and community facilities and resources.
