Who is Shaykh Ramzy Ajem?

Ramzy Ajem
Ramzy Ajem
Shaykh Ramzy Ajem played a pivotal role in the establishment of Masjid Vaughan between the years of 2017 and 2019, marking the inauguration of the first mosque for the Sunni Muslim community in the city of Vaughan. In his capacity as the project chairman, Shaykh Ramzy, alongside a dedicated core team from Risalah Foundation, mobilized the community to embrace the transformation of an old church building on 9954 Keele St, Maple, Ontario. Designated as both a place of worship and a preserved heritage site, this building emerged as a central focus for collaborative endeavors. Through a concerted donation campaign, led by Ramzy Ajem, and the support of the local community, coupled with Islamic financing, it was successfully acquired, restored and opened for services on April 15, 2018. Currently, Shaykh Ramzy fulfills the role of Executive Director at Risalah Foundation, overseeing the administration of four community projects: Masjid Vaughan, Muslim Family Academy, Dar al-Burhan, and the Network of Reintegration and Muslim Mentorship (NORMM).

Masjid Vaughan opened its doors on April 15, 2018, as a community project of Risalah Foundation. Situated in the heart of Maple, just a few hundred metres from Vaughan City Hall, the Masjid occupies a historic place of worship whose sacred heritage extends back more than 140 years. Its distinctive mid-century Gothic interior has been carefully restored and reimagined through a North American Islamic aesthetic, creating a space of serenity, beauty, and reverence for Vaughan’s Sunni Muslim community. All praise belongs to Allah Most High for the blessing of this sacred space. Its establishment was made possible through the generosity, sacrifice, and devotion of countless supporters, volunteers, and community members. To each person who had a hand in establishing the first masjid in the City of Vaughan, we offer our enduring gratitude and pray that Allah makes it a lasting source of benefit and reward for generations to come.
