The Vision

A sanctuary for the next generation.

For over a decades, our mosque has been a home for prayer, learning, and community service. Today, we have outgrown it.

The opportunity

The building directly adjacent to our mosque has come up for sale. Acquiring it is a once-in-a-generation chance to permanently secure space for our growing congregation — without the disruption and uncertainty of relocating.

What the expansion will bring

  • A larger prayer hall to comfortably accommodate Friday and Eid congregations
  • Dedicated classrooms for weekend Qur'an and Arabic programs
  • A community library and reading room
  • A welcoming space for youth groups, lectures, and interfaith gatherings
  • A dignified, accessible facility for funerals and family events

Why now

The asking price and our timeline are fixed. To secure the property, we must raise $1,000,000 from our community. Every donation — whether $25 or $25,000 — is a brick in our shared foundation.

"Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise."
