About Us The Ar Rashaad Learning Centre (ARLC) aims to become an Islamic centre catering specifically to the needs of the Brampton community. Located in Brampton. East, ARLC also hopes to serve communities living in Mississauga and the Toronto West End. Founded in 2012, the focus of ARLC is to emphasize on the foundational elements of Islam as a means of creating a firm base upon which further spiritual and intellectual advancement may occur. This emphasis upon a concrete foundational understanding and spiritual-intellectual advancement are goals we hope to impart upon all people, young and old, brother and sister.

Current Location 18 Automatic Road • Unit #2 • Brampton, ON • L 6 S 5 N 5 • Canada Our current Musallah is just over 2000 sq ft and has reached capacity. With just one washroom for men and one main entrance, it is becoming increasingly difficult to accommodate the growing community in the area.
Community Overview � Location › Close to over 300 Muslim families currently reside from Torbram Rd all the way to East border of Brampton near Hwy 50. › No Masjid nor Musalla in a 10 km radius to service the community › Northwest portion of this city to grow in huge numbers in the next 10 years as urban sprawl has been mandated in unused land areas
