Little Mosque on the Prairie - Season 4 (2009)

Rayyan is relishing the fact of living on her own, if only her parents would leave her alone. Yasir and Sarah, with a key to her house to be used only for emergencies, have been over every day since Rayyan moved out and have even let themselves into the house using that key. Sarah and Yasir, wanting to respect Rayyan's adult wants, propose not to visit for one week uninvited or else they will give back the key. Yasir and Sarah try their best at respecting Rayyan's wishes, but one thing or another always brings them back to her house. Not wanting Rayyan to take away ...

Fred and his radio show are hosting a car giveaway contest, the winner being the person who can keep his/her hands on the car the longest. Sarah thinks the contest will be a good opportunity for her and Yasir to spend some quality time together, since Yasir has been busy with work of late. Yasir, on the other hand, sees other things more important than participating in the contest, and by association - in Sarah's mind - spending time with her. The contest gives Amaar the idea that a fund raiser - a 30-hour famine - is a good and quick way to raise the rent for the ...

Neighbors Rayyan and Fred go through a myriad of emotions in their relationship as neighbors. Fred rants on air that a mishap that occurred on Rayyan's property is some sort of Muslim conspiracy. Things change when Rayyan saves Fred's life by performing the Heimlich maneuver on him. After that, Fred will do whatever he can to please Rayyan. But Rayyan finds that a little gratitude from Fred may be too much to take. Meanwhile, Reverend Thorne is planning on making major renovations to the church. Despite working on six other contracts, Yasir is desperate to get this ...

Yasir breaks a delivery sent to Reverend Thorne. Yasir is reluctant to confess to this error. On Sarah's advice, Yasir decides the easiest thing to do is order another to replace the broken one. Luckily, the replacement can be shipped in 24 hours, meaning that Yasir and Sarah only have to hide the fact that Yasir broke the first one for a day. However, when the replacement arrives, it's not exactly like the original. Meanwhile, Reverend Thorne learns that Yasir broke something, and when the reverend learns what it is, he is not angry but decides to use this knowledge ...

Both Amaar and Reverend Thorne want to mount some sort of advertising campaign to attract new people to the mosque and church respectively. With some extra time on her hands, Sarah, who does public relations work for a living, volunteers to help whomever wants. Since Reverend Thorne asks her first, she decides to help him instead of Amaar, despite the fact that she is a Muslim herself. As she goes through this process with Reverend Thorne to great success, Sarah has to reconcile the "PR whiz" side of herself with the "Muslim" side of herself. One step to accomplish ...

Amaar inadvertently agrees to an exhibition fund-raising boxing match with Reverend Thorne, who has a boxing background. Reverend Thorne does whatever he can to provoke Amaar, and is so sure of his victory that he makes a wager on the match. Amaar, seeing the boxing match as a metaphor of the battle between the Muslims and Christians, doesn't want to partake. As he progresses in his training, he admits to his trainer, Rayyan, what he really fears. Rayyan, trying to be supportive but still wanting Amaar to go through with the match, comes up with a plan. Will Amaar ...

Following his exhibition boxing match with Amaar, the match which Amaar won by a knockout, Reverend Thorne is sporting a neck brace and can barely move. Amaar learns the true nature of the reverend's injuries, and the reason for the brace. Meanwhile, Rayyan, the doctor, attends to an injured Baber at the mosque. As such, word goes around town that Rayyan makes house calls, a rumor she vehemently denies to all who will listen. Regardless, she is asked to make one house call after another, but it's Fred's calls, or his supposed calls, to which Rayyan does not respond. ...

With Yasir away in Lebanon to take care of Mother Hamoudi, Sarah is running Yasir's business, most specifically the church contract, which is already four weeks behind schedule. As the reverend is threatening not to pay because of the delay, Sarah has to crack the whip with the subcontractors. Cracking the whip isn't Sarah's style, but it is Rayyan's. With the church and mosque shut down for the weekend because of the necessary electrical rewiring, Nate suggests to Amaar that he go camping. Despite not being a camping person, Amaar ultimately thinks it is a good idea ...

After an off the cuff comment by Amaar, Nate prints in the newspaper that Amaar is going to lead the fund-raising drive to save the Mercy Arena from ruin. Although Amaar wants the arena to be saved, he doesn't want to lead the drive. But forced to do so, Amaar, after reading about it, thinks that the $100,000 money that comes with being named the town to host Kraft Hockeyville is the way to save the arena. To sway the voters of Kraft Hockeyville, Amaar, with Nate's help, is going to make a documentary movie about the hockey spirit in Mercy. Reverend Thorne, who has a ...

Self-absorbed self-help guru Dr. Lois Kettlebaum is passing through Mercy on her way to Regina for a book signing. Her stay in Mercy is a little longer than she expected as her beloved pet dog Fluffy escapes. As her harried chauffeur looks for Fluffy, Dr. Kettlebaum in private is an emotional wreck over Fluffy, while her public persona doles out advice to the many in Mercy who seek it. Sarah doesn't like what she hears, and Baber has a connection of another kind with Dr. Kettlebaum. Meanwhile, Amaar inadvertently opens a letter addressed to Reverend Thorne, the letter...

With Yasir still in Lebanon, Sarah has been spending much of her time at his construction business office in the church. She has turned her attention to organizing things at the church, much the way she has organized her life with Yasir. Although they appreciate her efforts, Amaar and Reverend Thorne are at their wits end when Sarah takes her self-appointed organizational duties to an extreme. They have to figure out how to get her to stop without hurting her feelings. Meanwhile, Rayyan thinks about her best friend from college, Holly Weldon, who Rayyan dropped from ...

Sarah is waiting for a telephone call from Yasir from Lebanon which doesn't occur when expected. Feeling a bit lonely, Sarah decides to spend that "waiting" time to have coffee with the attractive new concrete salesman, Robert. Their morning coffee "dates" become a ritual. In her having coffee with Robert, Sarah's fellow Muslims believe she's doing something unseemly and un-Islamic. Is she? Meanwhile, while listening to Fred's radio show, Reverend Thorne thinks that a good way to bring about bad faith amongst his congregation toward the Muslim community is to have a ...

The annual Mercy chili cook off is upcoming, this year without five time defending champion Yasir who is still in Lebanon. Sarah, his assistant in those wins (if truth be told, she acted only as his ladle caddy), vows to keep the Hamoudi winning tradition. With her new assistant Ann by her side, non-cook Sarah would have a fighting chance if either she or Ann could read Yasir's messy handwritten award winning chili recipe. Five time silver medalist Fred smells a victory for himself this year, especially as he has a new old family recipe to submit. Ann takes drastic ...

Baber is acting as Imam after the Board fired Amaar. While Amaar communes with nature in a tent on Joe's property and prays to figure out what he will do with his life, Sarah and Rayyan add more than their two cents worth in letting Amaar know what he should do. Amaar's prayers may be a direct answer in what will happen with his future, which he wants still to be in Mercy. Meanwhile, Reverend Thorne's plan is to make Baber and the mosque seem so conservative and extremist in the eyes of his Christian congregation that they demand the mosque vacate the church. ...

Reverend Thorne has finally got his wish: he's managed to kick the Muslims out of Mercy Anglican without looking like the bad guy. The next step is to get Hamoudi Contracting out as well. Amaar goes looking for another space in Mercy for a mosque, and comes up with what looks to be the only solution: the soon to be demolished Mercy Arena. Back at the church, Sarah tries to make life difficult for Reverend Thorne. But Reverend Thorne's life may be difficult enough without Sarah's help as what may be Reverend Thorne's wish is not that of Archbishop Tom Edmonds, who sees...
