Muslim Circle and Fountain of Life

Unusual for me to put together two places of worship, but the reality is that they exist right next door to each other. Neither in a particularly nice building, nothing special architecturally or even in their surroundings; neither has a lawn or garden or even a tree; no special lighting. Nevertheless, they surely hold a special place in people’s hearts and they certainly caught my eye all the same.

All of that, for me, is what makes them special and also that they represent such different faiths, yet coexist physically and offer the same to their subscribers spiritually. To me, the lesson in this, and it is one I have been learning significantly over the last years of my life, is: believe in and stay close to “god,” whatever that may be for you, and it simply does not matter where you are, how you look, or who’s in your ‘hood. Faith transcends and your spiritual life is an elemental aspect of life, period.

As always, there are websites for these special places, two of so, so many in Scarborough:
