Mufti Ibrahim Kureshi, Masjid El Noor
Mufti Ibrahim Kureshi was born in Toronto, Canada where he completed his secular studies. In 1987, he began his Islamic education in Cornwall, Ontario by starting the Hifz (memorization) of the Qur'an. Soon after, he moved to India to complete his Hifz and enroll in the Alim program in Jamiah Al-Uloom Al-Islamia in Dhabel, Gujarat. In Dhabel, he studied Qira'at, Qur'anic sciences, Hadith, Hanafi fiqh, Usul-ul-fiqh, Arabic grammar and etymology under the guidance of some of the most prominent Islamic scholars in India.
After graduating from the Alim program, he moved to South Africa where at Madrasah Arabia Islamia in Azadville he completed the takhassus fi "i-ifta (specialization in issuing legal verdicts) program in one year.
Mufti Ibrahim presently teaches, counsels, issues fatwas and delivers lectures in various Islamic institutions around Toronto and abroad.

- About us
Established in 1986, Masjid-El-Noor is one of the oldest Muslim organizations in Canada. Situated at 277 Scott Rd, Toronto ON. Initially was a church which was later transformed into the towering institution that it is today. With Allah’s (SWT) blessing and our community’s support, the building was expanded and renovation was completed in the early 2000’s.
With usable area of 2500 sq. ft, the institution encloses spacious prayer halls for brothers and sisters, 3 well-equipped classrooms for Islamic Education, and a kitchen. A mortuary is also present to serve the deceased within our community as part of our burial services. To ensure accessibility for all visitors, we also have ramps with designated parking spaces.
Masjid El Noor has moved beyond a neighborhood mosque and has grown into a multidimensional center that serves as a hub to unite the residents in the surrounding community. It houses an extensive repertoire of religious and educational programs as well as highly needed social services.
We recognize the need to supplement education with healthy recreational outlets for our youth. It is with this mindset that we host youth programs and offer volunteers hours which are well recognized. We understand that a holistic approach is necessary to cater to our congregation and beyond. This is why we are heavily active in collaborating with other Muslim organizations in organizing programs that cater to our community’s diverse needs
To provide guidance on all Center-related matters, Masjid-El-Noor governance is comprised of an elected Management Committee of 15 members which ensure that a system of checks and balances is consistently maintained within the organization.
The Center can be easily reached by car and public transportation and is open for the five daily prayers. Nearly 700 worshippers make up the Friday congregation for the Jummah prayer.
While much has been accomplished since the Center was first built, we pray that we can continue to grow to better serve our community. A’meen.
