BUILD AN ISLAMIC CENTER FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
Tax deductible
We are purchasing 86,000 square feet or 2 acres of land for the Islamic Center in Alexandria, Virginia, with a total cost of $1.3 million. The down payment of $450,000 has been collected from the community fundraising programs. We need everyone’s support to raise the remaining $850,000.
This is not our project but Allah’s; as the messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “Whoever builds a masjid for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise.” (Source: Sahih Al-Bukhari 450, Sahih Muslim 533)
Please donate generously and share with families and friends for this great cause. May Allah (SWT) give us the ability to build his house and support the community.
